- Draft Requirements Document 70Z02318ISPECTRUMENGINEERING Sources Sought Notice This sources sought notice is issued for information and planning purposes only and does not constitute an official solicitation. No contract will be awarded on the basis of responses received to this notice alone. This notice is strictly for market research purposes. Any subsequent solicitations will be released at a later date. SCOPE OF ANTICIPATED REQUIREMENTS The purpose of these requirements is to obtain Contractor support to assist the U.S. Coast Guard by providing technical electrical engineering support for spectrum management functions including performing engineering studies, analyzing telecommunication methods, assisting the U.S. Coast Guard by providing technical, telecommunications, administrative and electrical engineering support for the U. S. Coast Guard in the National Telecommunications and Information Administrations (NTIA) and International Telecommunications Union (ITU) regulatory processes, International Maritime Organization (IMO), International Association Marine aids to Navigation and Lighthouse Authorities (IALA) and other forums as required. NOTE: This is NOT an IT Service Solution contract. The requirement is for a very niche and highly specific technical support skill service for spectrum management. Spectrum management is not an IT service. Proper support of spectrum management does utilize IT systems to access the appropriate databases, but IT functions are not utilized per se. The primary focus of this scope is to develop regulatory policies of frequency communications; and involves engineering studies and review of existing communications policies. BACKGROUND OF ANTICIPATED REQUIREMENTS Contract support is required to protect the interest of the Coast Guard due to national spectrum re-allocation initiatives to satisfy commercial broadband requirements. Additionally, the evolving uses of Command, Control, Communications, and Computers, Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (C4ISR) maritime equipment (i.e. Automatic Identification System (AIS), Shipboard Radars, and Global Maritime Distress and Safety System (GMDSS)) require contract support to protect operational use of spectrum in national strategic plans and international forums such as the ITU, IMO, IALA, and the Inter-American Telecommunication Commission or Comisión Interamericana de Telecomunicaciones is an entity of the Organization of American States (CITEL).
