REQUESTS FOR A SOLICITATION WILL NOT RECEIVE A RESPONSE. Any information submitted by respondents to this synopsis is strictly voluntary. This market survey does not constitute a Request for Proposals (RFP) or a request for sealed bids (IFB), nor does its issuance restrict the Government as to its ultimate acquisition approach. The Government will neither award a contract solely on the basis of this notice, nor pay respondents for any information that they submit in response to this Sources Sought request.

These units also contain Comtech Messaging System Application, Encryption Algorithms, and QDSS central applications services. This scope of work also includes procuring and providing services to 300 additional vehicle-based mobile asset tracking units and base stations which must interoperate with the unique encryption and messaging system of the 200 already-deployed mobile asset tracking units to provide the same situational awareness and messaging used by these systems. Each mobile asset tracking unit must have the ability to transmit up to 2.6 kbps of data to another deployed mobile asset tracking unit and/or to the central command center and to interoperate with existing and all mobile asset tracking units added to the network for up to 1000 assets. Space segment services are not part of this scope of work. The mobile asset tracking system must give the coalition commander the ability to view all currently deployed assets on one visual display screen in a command center.
