Notice of Intent to Award a Sole Source Modification to Increase Ceiling for Production of VM300M Cards

The purpose of this notice is to inform all parties that the Naval Information Warfare
Systems Command (NAVWARSYSCOM) intends to extend the scope of current sole
source contract to ViaSat Corporation (ViaSat) in Carlsbad, CA. ViaSat is the original
designer and developer, sole production manufacturer and sole maintainer of the High
Level VM300 architecture. The focus of both Joint UHF Military Satellite Communications
(MILSATCOM) Network Integrated Control System (JMINI CS) and Integrated Waveform
Control System (IW CS) is to support warfighters on the move with fast and effective
communication. For uninterrupted access, both systems were mandated by NSA to
upgrade VM300M hardware, and associated software and firmware by a quickly
approaching (but otherwise manageable), classified date. The updated NSA certified
VM300M cards, which include revisions to the TTAM algorithm, are used inside RT-1828,
RT-1829, RT-1830, and DAMA Orderwire Channel Controller Trainer/Simulators
(DOCCTS) products. The current Period of Performance (POP) ends 29 June 2026, so
there is no POP extension required. This announcement is for subcontracting possibilities
only. The NAICS for this procurement is 541511 (with a Small Business Size Standard of
$30M).

This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals nor a solicitation of offers.
