About this opportunity
This solicitation seeks proposals to design, procure, install, and maintain a Guam Phased Array Antenna to support search and rescue operations for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. The antenna must be capable of collecting distress alert signals from multiple Medium Earth Orbit Search and Rescue Satellite-Aided Tracking satellites, accurately time and frequency tagging the signals, and transmitting the data to the United States Mission Control Center for location processing. Offerors must demonstrate experience with antenna systems, satellite communications networks, and operating MEOLUT systems. Proposals are due by July 18, 2022 and will be evaluated based on technical approach, past performance, and price.
There is no set-aside designation for this requirement. The primary NAICS code is 541715 and PSC code is D304. The incumbent contractor is [redacted]. The period of performance is five years from date of contract award by the Department of Commerce's National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. Offerors must propose fully burdened labor rates and a material mark-up rate not to exceed 10%. The place of performance will be in Suitland, Maryland.

AMENDMENT 001: The purpose of this amendment is to address submitted vendor questions. See attachment.
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.
