CS2 and CS2- Small Business General Questions and Answers

Question 1. Must we be registered as a GSA Schedule contractor in order to bid on the solicitations CS2_QTA-010-CTA-0003 and CS2_QTA-010-CTA-0010, and for which

GSA Schedule does this solicitation fall under?

Answer: No. A company does not require a GSA Schedule to submit proposals on either solicitation, CS2_QTA-010-CTA-0003 and CS2_QTA-010-CTA-0010. These acquisitions will be conducted based on the process prescribed in FAR Part 15, Contracting by Negotiation.

As further background, please note that the Future Commercial Satellite Acquisition

(FCSA) includes three complementary service areas:

Transponded Capacity and Subscription Services are the first two service areas and defined in Schedule 70 COMSATCOM SINs 132-54 and 132-55, respectively. The offer submission instructions provided in previous meetings and teleconferences pertains to the Schedule 70 COMSATCOM SINs.

End-to-End (E2E) Solutions is the third service area. E2E Solutions will not be offered on Federal Supply Schedule 70 contracts. Instead, E2E Solutions will be offered through two sets of ID/IQ contracts. One Full and Open Competition

ID/IQ named Custom SATCOM Solutions (CS2) and one Small Business Set

Aside ID/IQ named CS2 – Small Business. The offer submission instructions provided for CS2_QTA-010-CTA-0003 and CS2_QTA-010-CTA-0010 pertain to

CS2 and CS2-Small Business, respectively.
