About this file
This document is a Notice of Contract Action from the Department of the Air Force Air Force Nuclear Weapons Center regarding the Family of Advanced Beyond Line of Sight Terminals (FAB-T) Production Contract (FA8705-13-C-0005). The government is providing notice that it intends to extend the period of performance for a subset of 15 Cost Plus Fixed-Fee Contract Line Item Numbers on this contract from September 2024 to December 2025. The FAB-T program is a highly complex AEHF satellite communications system that provides secure, survivable communications to strategic and tactical forces. The original contract was competitively awarded in 2013 to Boeing and Raytheon utilizing a limited competition approach. The extensions are due to delays in terminal and hardware deliveries, site infrastructure, and operational constraints. As this is a no-cost extension with no additional work, it is deemed within the scope of the original contract and associated Justification and Approval for Other Than Full and Open Competition.

SUBJECT: FAMILY OF ADVANCED BEYOND LINE OF SIGHT TERMINALS (FAB-T)
PRODUCTION CONTRACT FA8705-13-C-0005, NOTIFICATION OF PERIOD
OF PERFORMANCE (PoP) EXTENSION.
References: (a) Class Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition, Final Signed
Dual Approach J&A 20130509.
1. Purpose: The Government is providing notice to industry that it intends on extending the PoP for the FAB-T Production Contract from 24 September 2024 to 31 December 2025 for a subset of Cost Plus Fixed-Fee (CPFF) Contract Line-Item Numbers (CLINs).
2. Background: The Family of Beyond Line-of-Sight Terminal (FAB-T) is a highly complex AEHF (Advanced Extremely High Frequency) program that is the follow-on to the MILSTAR system and will provide near-worldwide, secure, survivable satellite communications to support strategic and tactical forces of the United States and its international partners during all levels of conflict. AEHF satellites will provide over ten (10) times the capacity and six (6) times higher data rate transfer than that of the current MILSTAR II satellites. The contract, FA8705-13-C- 0005, was competitively awarded on 25 September 2013 utilizing the approved Class Justification and Approval (J&A) for Other than Full and Open Competition for a limited competition between The Boeing Company and Raytheon and is currently a sole source acquisition.
3. Requirement Details: A subset of fifteen (15) CPFF CLINs will be extended. The extensions are due to contractor delays in terminal and hardware deliveries, site infrastructure delays, and operational site constraints due to real-world missions. As no additional work or materials are being introduced and this is a no cost extension, this extension is deemed within scope of the FAB-T Production Contract and associated J&A. Primary location will continue to be Marlboro, MA.
