About this opportunity
The Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Lifecycle Management Center (AFLCMC) has issued a Request for Information (RFI) focused on gathering comprehensive data about Common Data Link (CDL) specification-based waveforms used in satellite communications (SATCOM) systems. This market research effort aims to help the CDL community and SAF/AQI account for all current implementations of CDL waveforms across SATCOM platforms. Contractors are invited to submit a detailed five-page document outlining their CDL waveform implementations, with non-classified responses due by February 21, 2025, at 3:00 PM EST. The RFI requires electronic submission via email or DoDSafe to the designated Contracting Officer and Contract Specialist. Potential respondents must submit any questions by February 7, 2025, at 3:00 PM EST, and should be aware that submissions will be reviewed by Government personnel, FFRDC contractors, and other DoD support contractors.
This pre-solicitation notice is not a formal solicitation and currently has no allocated funds, indicating it is a preliminary market research phase. No specific set-aside designations are currently applied to this opportunity. The RFI explicitly allows contractors to object in writing to the review of their submissions by external contractors if they have concerns about proprietary information. While no specific award values or contract quantities are mentioned, the document suggests this research is part of a broader effort to understand and potentially develop future SATCOM capabilities. Respondents are cautioned to provide only non-classified information, with an option to coordinate separately if classified documentation is necessary. The broad nature of the RFI implies the Air Force is conducting comprehensive research to map out current CDL waveform technologies across the defense satellite communications ecosystem.
Notice text
The Government requests that responding contractors provide a document that includes all implementations of CDL specification-based waveforms on SATCOM not to exceed five pages. Do not send classified submission. If you desire to submit a classified document, please reach out to the POC’s below to obtain delivery information.
