About this opportunity
The Defense Media Activity (DMA), which operates the American Forces Network (AFN), has issued a Notice of Intent to Sole Source for the purpose of updating its Digital Video Broadcast, Satellite Second Generation (DVB-S2) encoding, encryption, and distribution head-end to serviceable hardware and software versions. The intent is to install and integrate the system components originally purchased as the DVB-S2 COOP System at DMA, Ft. Meade, into the Broadcast Mission Network at the AFN Broadcast Center.
The objective of this notice is to update the proprietary products and/or product support for the DVB-S2 system, as no competitor functional replacement products exist in the market to meet the government's need at this time. The NAICS code is 334220 with a small business size standard of 750 employees. The government will continue to conduct market research to determine if there are changes in the marketplace that would enable future competitive actions. The notice has a due date of October 12, 2024 for interested contractors.
