RESPONSE TO QUESTIONS

Responses to Questions

1. Please provide some information on CLIN 0002 M&C software. Is this for RF only?

Antenna , HPA, LNB, UPC ?

Answer: We want the capability to observe the up and down links and the path of the signal from the start to the end and have the capability to switch paths in the software. We want a fully integrated M&C system that is interfaced with each piece of equipment in each terminal. In addition, remote access to the systems.

Measurements:

• Downlink EIRP, frequency and C/No for a carrier

• Uplink EIRP and frequency of a carrier

• Downlink EIRP in a specified bandwidth

• Uplink EIRP in a specified bandwidth

• Full spectrum analysis, including identification of spurious carriers

• Satellite noise

• Reference carrier calibration

• Doppler corrections of measurements based on orbit model predictions

• Calibration tables to enhance absolute measurement accuracy

Carrier monitoring system allows fully automated and manual measurements including the following features:

• Carrier threshold alarms based on the user defined limits of EIRP, Frequency and C/No

• Graphical display of measured carriers and spectrum characteristics

• Capability to dwell on a specific carrier

• Can be used to watch carriers with performance issues

• Useful when initially lining up carriers

• Trend analysis and statistical summaries of carrier measurement data

• Priority carrier measurements pre-empt scheduled measurements

• Measurement scheduler

• Create and schedule multiple sequences of measurements

• Measurement data logging including low-level measurement information

(Basically the same specs as SED Mon-A-Co software)

2. The original antenna you have is an ASC 3.7 non motorized control. We are bidding an ASC 3.7 cassegrain with ASC motorized antenna control system. I just want to know that this is acceptable since ASC has told us they cannot interface the

GD 7134.

Answer: A fully new ASC 3.7m Cassegrain antenna systems would be acceptable as long as it meets or exceeds the specifications of the line item. If referencing the ASC Signal NGC Antenna Control System Indoor Unit (IDU) it seems to be acceptable to control the antenna.

3. I would like to propose a multi-band feed on these dishes so that WGS compatibility is an option. Is there room to reconsider this solicitation so that DMA can use DoD's own satellites?

Answer: No. The reason is we are not equipped on our other systems that will be linking to and from for WGS or X-band, also we use commercial satellites for our satellite production vehicles. We are in the process of researching the use of X-band however at this time it is not feasible to use.

4. For CLIN 0001: is there no requirement for a beacon receiver listed. Is it required?

Answer: There is no requirement for this on the 4.8m Antennas.

5. For CLIN 0002: Would like to clarify the M&C requirement. M&C’s can be very expensive and may not be needed in your environment. Is the M&C just for the 7.3 meter or will it be utilized for the entire site systems?

Answer: The M&C is for the 7.3m and the 3.7m antennas.

6. For CLIN 0002: What will be the scope of the M&C? Will it be required for the 7.3 meter only or will it be a station M&C for all antenna systems?

Answer:See Question 1

7. For CLIN 0003: For the old 3.7 meter antenna system, will the contractor be responsible for the disposal/removal of the antenna and electronics?

Answer: Contractor is only responsible for de-installation the government will dispose of system through internal channels once it has been de-installed.

8. For CLIN 0003: For the 3.7 meter de-installation, will the government provide a separate CLIN for the de-installation?

Answer: No. Removal of existing 3.7m antenna is mentioned in CLIN 0004

9. Will the government give interested vendors of this solicitation/RFQ an opportunity to do a site visit of the satellite antenna farm prior to the RFQ due date?

Answer: The government will not be conducting a site visit at this time.

10. Note: Previous solicitation posted on April 18, 2018, interested vendors had the opportunity to do a site visit of the satellite antenna farm on May 8, 2018. Since this is effectively a new solicitation/RFQ and we are a new interested bidder/vendor and wish to be afforded the same benefit as others have received. Please specify a date and time that we will be able to provide a site survey.

Answer: Please see question 9.

11. In light of these clarification questions and request for physical site survey of the satellite antenna farm prior to the RFQ due date, can the government move the RFQ due date back to the original due date of August 10, 2018 1:00 pm ET or later?

Answer: The government does not intend on extending the requirement close date at this time.

12. With regard to CLIN 2 and 3 Uplink power control.

a. Does DMA require internal uplink compensation channels or solely control devices in the uplink chain?

Answer: Control devices in uplink chain

b. The RFQ calls out ‘up to 4-channels’. Does DMA require all 4-Channels or would 2-Channels suffice? Given that the antenna can only transmit on 2 channels 4 channels adds cost but not value.

Answer: 4 channel is required

c. The RFQ calls out ‘supports open-loop or comparison modes’ Which mode(s) does DMA require?

Answer: Open loop is preferred but either is acceptable.

d. Does DMA require redundancy for the AUPC?

Answer: No

e. Does DMA require a failsafe option?

Answer: Question is unclear, not sure what is meant by failsafe option

13. With regard to CLIN 2 and 3 M&C (Monitor & Control) Software

a. Please describe the required scope and features of the M&C system. Simple web interface to individual units or complex system control of all devices (Network, RF, Video, etc.)?

Answer: See question 1.

b. Will both (CLIN 2 and CLIN 3) M&C systems reside on the same computer hardware?

c. Does DMA require new computer hardware to run the M&C software on? If an existing computer/server is to be used, please provide details (operating system, processing capabilities, storage capacity, etc.)?

Answer: No we will provide computer (win 10, i5-7500 CPU @ 3.4GHz, 16GB ram, 235GB drive)

d. Please provide a specific list of all equipment that the M&C is required to control.

Answer: All up and downlink antennas

e. Does DMA require that the M&C system control any existing equipment at the DMA uplink site?

Answer: Yes, however not the responsibility of the contractor.

f. Does DMA require that the M&C system connect to an existing M&C, onsite or otherwise? If so, please provide details.

14. Is there a requirement for M&C relating to CLIN 1?

Answer: CLIN 1 will be required to be tied into the M&C for monitoring incoming signal and paths.

15. Are enclosed plenum type deicing systems with electric heaters the requirement for all antennas?

Answer: Yes as they are much more efficient

16. We note that the spectrum analyzer was omitted from CLIN 3 (3.7m Antenna System). Is the omission an oversight or an intended deletion?

Answer: Was an oversight, see updated information on CLIN 0003.

17. With regard to CLIN 3 (3.7m Cassegrain Antenna System) This appears to be specified as a GD Satcom antenna, however GD Satcom does not offer this configuration. Would Government please clarify the required specifications for

CLIN 3?

Answer:Any new 3.7m Cassegrain antenna systems would be acceptable as long as it meets or exceeds the specifications in the CLIN
