Draft SATCOM Performance Work Statement

1.0 SCOPE. The contractor shall provide system engineering services to perform tasks in support of assigned Satellite Communication (SATCOM), Radio Frequency (RF), Video, and Networking Technology projects including: requirements definition; solution definition; integration, installation verification/validation; operation and sustainment. Assigned efforts will involve the integration/installation of new SATCOM RF, Video, and Networking systems/equipment; the upgrade/modernization of existing systems/equipment; and the use of legacy, current, and emerging SATCOM, RF, video, and networking technologies to meet unique requirements. These systems are primarily made up of Commercial-off-the-Shelf (COTS) equipment. Tasking will span the entire systems engineering life-cycle or some portion thereof. Tailoring of the systems engineering process will be required to meet rapid project life cycles. SATCOM RF, video, and networking systems supported by this contract will range from stand-alone systems up to global, integrated communication solutions that combine satellite and terrestrial networks supporting converged voice, video and data, and will take various forms including dismounted portable, mobile, and fixed-site applications. While contract performance will take place primarily within Continental United States (CONUS) locations, completion of some projects will require travel to Outside of the Continental United States (OCONUS) locations.
