About this opportunity
This notice seeks proposals to design, procure, install and maintain a Guam Phased Array Antenna to collect distress alerts from multiple MEOSAR satellites for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's National Environmental Satellite, Data, and Information Service. The antenna must be capable of accurately time and frequency tagging distress alerts and sending them to the US Mission Control Center for location processing. Proposals are also sought for ongoing operations and maintenance support of the antenna. The solicitation is anticipated to be released on May 11, 2022 with proposals due by that same date. The contract will be awarded based on best value determined by technical qualifications, past performance, and price.
There is no set-aside designation for this procurement. The primary NAICS code is 334220 and PSC code is 7025.

Notice text
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA) National Environmental Satellite, Data, and Information Service (NESDIS) manages the Nation's operational geostationary and polar-orbiting environmental satellites and manages a large collection of atmospheric, geophysical, and oceanographic data.
Within NESDIS, the Office of Satellite and Product Operations (OSPO) manages and directs the operation of the central ground facilities which ingest, process, and distribute environmental satellite data and derived products to domestic and foreign users. The Direct Services Branch of OSPO manages and operates the Search and Rescue Satellite-Aided Tracking (SARSAT) program. The NESDIS SARSAT program and system are part of the international Cospas-Sarsat (C/S) System.
The purpose of the Cospas-Sarsat System is to provide distress alert and location data for search and rescue (SAR), using spacecraft and ground facilities to detect and locate the signals of Cospas-Sarsat distress radio beacons operating on 406 MHz. An earth receiving station in the Cospas-Sarsat System which receives and processes 406 MHz signals relayed by a Medium Earth Orbit satellite is called a MEOSAR Local User Terminal (MEOLUT).
A MEOLUT functions by utilizing antennas to collect data from MEOSAR satellites which is then used by a Location Processor (LP) to generate distress alerts. This contract is to design, procure, install and maintain a Guam Phased Array Antenna (GPAA). The GPAA will be capable of collecting distress alerts from multiple MEOSAR satellites, accurately time and frequency tagging it, and sending it to the US Mission Control Center (USMCC) for location processing. The contract also includes Operations and Maintenance support of the GPAA.
Set-aside Status: No set aside
Small business size standard: N/A
It is anticipated that the RFP will be released on or around May 11, 2022. Solicitation documents will be made available for download at sam.gov. Paper copies of this solicitation will not be issued.
