Command, Control, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance Transport (C2ISR-T) Notice

General Services Administration (GSA) Assisted Acquisition Services (AAS) is releasing this Request for Information (RFI) notice on behalf of the U.S. Special Operations Command (USSOCOM). The purpose of this RFI notice is to ascertain whether multiple vendors can provide the requirements outlined within this notice. This is a market research exercise. The Government is not obligated to release a future solicitation.

This RFI does NOT constitute a Request for Proposal and is not to be construed as a commitment, implied or otherwise, by the Government that a procurement action will be issued or that a specific strategy will be executed. Response to this notice is not a request to be added to a bidders list or to receive a copy of a solicitation. No entitlement to payment of direct or indirect costs or charges by the Government will arise as a result of the submission of the requested information. No reimbursement will be made for any costs associated with providing information in response to this announcement and any follow up information requests. Responses to this RFI may be considered in the future determination of an appropriate acquisition strategy for the program. The Government may not respond to any specific questions or comments submitted in response to this RFI or information provided as a result of this request. Any information submitted by respondents as a result of this notice is strictly voluntary.

Previous iterations of this requirement facilitated the effective integration of specific sensors on existing weapons systems. Historically, sensors that were installed on the various DoD systems created an obstacle for the Command, Control, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance Transport (C2ISR-T) experts. To maintain these assets, the Government has acquired engineering, acquisition, operation, and sustainment services to operate these system subcomponents to enable downlink, process, distribute, and produce sensor data as a necessary mission/task of the C2ISR-T Infrastructure.

USSOCOM requires an industry partner that will provide a host of services to support, maintain, and upgrade existing systems integrated into various platforms and locations across the globe. These services will enable applicable Common Data Link (CDL), Command Control, Communications, Computers, Intelligence Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (C4ISR), and Rapid Sustainment Office (RSO) requirements by focusing on the utilization of existing and future architectures, configurations and resources to support data relay ingest, and throughput at the ground stations and other customer locations. These services are anticipated to expand existing data link capability enabling worldwide operations and provide critical intelligence data to users in near real time.
