Interested parties are responsible for adequately marking proprietary or competition sensitive information contained in their response. The Government is seeking information on companies with a comprehensive background in developing, integrating, installing and maintaining state-of-the-art Satellite Communications Earth Terminals. Since many of these terminals have been in service since 2005, there is a continuing need to provide comprehensive life-cycle support. Support also includes maintaining a Government accessible, automated, secure, web-based application for real-time accounting and transaction reporting of all government property and depot activity. The Government is seeking information on qualified companies who are capable of providing comprehensive life-cycle support for the AN/GSC-70 terminals currently fielded to include engineering support, telephonic and on-site technical assistance, maintenance of the multi-system Interactive Electronic Technical Manual (IETM), depot maintenance and supply services, and other related engineering services. Companies capable of and interested in providing these services to the U.S. Army are invited to respond with a ten (10) page maximum White Paper detailing their ability to provide these life-cycle support services for the AN/GSC-70 SATCOM terminals. The response must describe the company's capability and experience in providing depot level maintenance services, both in-plant and on-site, for SATCOM earth terminals, systems and subsystems and specifically indicate whether or not the experience includes the AN/GSC-70 SATCOM terminals. The response must provide details of the company's experience in providing global depot supply support. The response must also detail the company's capabilities and experience in developing and/or maintaining SATCOM Terminal management software and IETMs. The response must also address how the company would provide engineering services.

All interested firms that possess the capabilities addressed herein are encouraged to respond to the RFI by providing the information specified NLT 1600 CST March 6, 2012.
