About this opportunity
The Department of the Air Force is conducting market research for a brand name or equal product to the Planet 9770 UAV-L SATCOM Terminal, which is required for Task Force 99. The key requirements include a lightweight, low-power SATCOM terminal capable of operating with the customer's group 2 UAS without impacting its range, as well as providing global navigation satellite system (GNSS) capabilities to address jamming and spoofing concerns. Responses should include company information, past performance, and any questions or clarifications, and are due by 4:30 PM EST on August 24, 2024.
This is a sources sought notice, not a request for quotation, and there is no set-aside designation. The customer claims the Planet 9770 UAV-L is the only terminal that meets their requirements, but the government is seeking alternatives. No award value or budget range is provided, and the quantity of terminals needed is not specified. The current contractor for this requirement is not named.
Notice text
SOURCES SOUGHT: THIS IS NOT A NOTICE OF REQUEST FOR QUOTATION. THIS IS FOR INFORMATION AND PLANNING PURPOSES ONLY! This notice does not constitute a commitment by the Government. All information submitted in response to this announcement is voluntary and the Government will not pay for information requested nor will it compensate any respondent for any cost incurred in developing information provided to the Government.
The 1st Expeditionary Theater Support Group is currently performing market research for a brand name or equal product to Planet 9770 UAV-L SATCOM Terminal requirement for Task Force 99. The customer claims that the Planet 9770 UAV-L is the only SATCOM terminal that meets the required specifications for their mission needs while providing the reliability of using the Iridium satellite network. With their current group 2 UAS, a lightweight capability and a small power draw are required as they need to be able to fly with this without impacting the range of their system. They also require a global navigation satellite system (GNSS) as they will likely experience jamming and spoofing during their operations.
