- Description
- MUOS RFI DESCRIPTION: MARKET RESEARCH/REQUEST FOR INFORMATION. NO SOLICITATION DOCUMENT EXISTS. Marine Corps Systems Command (MCSC) is conducting a market survey to determine the availability of commercial capability that will provide connectivity between the Mobile User Objective System (MUOS) Satellite Communication (SATCOM) waveform and the Marine Corps' Multi-Band Radio (MBR) II Family of Systems (FoS). This market research/announcement is a Request for Information (RFI) only. If MCSC decides to purchase this capability, there will be a Request for Proposal (RFP) published. A. BACKGROUND: MUOS is the next generation of tactical Beyond Line of Sight (BLOS) Over-the-Horizon voice and limited data SATCOM capability. MUOS will have increased capacity of legacy systems, higher data rates, improved link availability, and worldwide Global Information Grid (GIG) connectivity. The utilization of MUOS will provide for an increased number of user terminals as well as improving worldwide GIG connectivity. In addition, the MUOS Satellite Constellation will support legacy SATCOM waveforms such as Demand Assigned Multiple Access (DAMA), Dedicated, and Integrated Waveforms (IW) for SATCOM voice capability. The MBR II FoS consists of a man packable and three vehicular configurations. The base Radio Transceiver (RT) for the man packable and vehicular configurations is either the RT-1949C(P)(C)/PRC (National Stock Number (NSN) 5820-01-585-2735) or the RT-1949D(P)(C)/PRC (NSN 5820-01-614-3307). The base amplifier used in the vehicular configurations is either part number RF-7800-PA150 (NSN 5895-01-579-6107) or part number 12084-0900-02 (NSN 5996-01-610-6641). B. DETAILED REQUIREMENTS: All capable vendors must provide a detailed explanation on how they can incorporate the MUOS waveform on the RT-1949C(P)(C)/PRC or the RT-1949D(P)(C)/PRC. C. Availability: Please provide information on whether the capability is under development or currently available. If the capability is under development, the date of the availability needs to be given. Pricing: MARCORSYSCOM would like to know the estimated price for the capability requested. Include your cage code and your business size in your response. Provide a list of contracts your company has with all Government Agencies (i.e. Army, Airforce, Department of Defense, GSA, etc.). Include the contract number and a Point of Contact for the contract at the Government Agency.
