Viasat Antennas SSJ Redacted.pdf

This document is a Special Notice from the Department of the Air Force Space Command regarding their intent to conduct a sole source acquisition from Viasat for various antenna and tracking components. The notice lists 18 specific Viasat part numbers required, including an E-Scan Switch, LNA S-Band, tracking receivers, servo motors and amplifiers, power supplies, fiber optic transceivers, and an Antenna Control Unit. The government states this is not a request for proposal, but rather a notice to inform the public of their intent to award sole source to Viasat. Interested parties must provide clear and convincing evidence that a competitive procurement would be advantageous to the government. The government will make a determination on whether to compete the requirement based on any responses received. A Simplified Acquisition Single Source Justification is attached detailing the requirement and rationale for the sole source approach.
