About this opportunity
The Department of the Air Force Space Command is seeking a contractor to design, fabricate, deliver, install, test, and train personnel for a specialized dual uplink band antenna system for Detachment Charlie (Det C) in Guam. The project stems from damage caused by Typhoon Mawar and requires replacing a 10-meter antenna with a new system capable of telemetry, tracking, and commanding satellites in geosynchronous orbit. Key technical requirements include a dual L and Unified S-Band uplink antenna with S-band downlink capabilities, a rigid radome able to withstand 200-knot winds, and comprehensive electrical system upgrades. Interested contractors must be prepared to work on-site in Finegayan, Guam, and potentially collaborate with Viasat, Inc. as a subcontractor. The Sources Sought Request for Information (RFI) requires respondents to submit detailed capabilities information by 1:00 PM MT on April 25, 2025, with complete organizational details including CAGE code, DUNS number, and business size.
The procurement is not currently set aside for small businesses, though the synopsis indicates potential small business consideration. The estimated contract value ranges between $9 million and $13 million, with a 16-month performance period from order receipt. The contract will include two primary Contract Line Item Numbers (CLINs): one for the ViaSat Antenna system and another for construction services to repair the existing antenna pad. All contractor personnel must be US citizens, and the project involves detailed documentation requirements including monthly progress reports, acceptance test procedures, and comprehensive operations and maintenance manuals. The Space Acquisition & Integration Office plans to award the contract on August 25, 2025, using NAICS category 334511 for Search, Detection, Navigation, and Guidance System Manufacturing, with a specific focus on antenna and waveguide equipment under PSC code 5985.
