About this opportunity
This Limited/Sole Source Justification Notice from the Defense Information Systems Agency awarded Viasat, Inc. a firm fixed price sole source contract valued at an unknown amount to provide Ku-band satellite communications services and 16 terminals to the Naval Air Systems Command Electronic Patrol 3 aircraft fleet. Due to the existing proprietary Viasat hardware installed on the EP-3 aircraft capable of only 1Mbps forward and 512Kbps return data rates, market research determined Viasat was the only contractor that could meet the minimum requirements, as replacing the hardware was deemed impractical and would introduce unacceptable costs and delays given the planned EP-3 fleet retirement by 2024.
Notice text
This contract will include the required quantity of SIMOPS, which is nine, in support of 16 terminals. Aircraft data traffic shall reside on private terrestrial networks that are exclusive to NAVAIR. A multi-protocol label switching (MPLS) connection is required for KuSS data forwarding from the KuSS service hub terminal or network operations center to two locations during the life of the contract. The Government may require surge support during the base or any option period, and surge modification will be within the scope of the contract and provide increased support for the defined task areas of the PWS.
Awarded contract HC101320C0007 to unknown vendor for unknown amount on 2020-09-30.
