Any contract award must be made this fiscal year, therefore, we do not anticipate any requests for extension of proposal submission dates to be granted. The contractor will develop and build an operational ground station, in the Southwest United States, at a site Holloman AFB, New Mexico, (32 53' 17"N, 106 6' 15"W) that tracks Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) satellites (e.g., GPS-USA, Galileo-European Commission, Glonass-Russian Federation, Beidou/Compass-China) operating in Medium Earth Orbits (MEO). Operationally, this ground station will receive, process and relay 406 MHz distress beacon signals from those tracked MEO satellites to the US SARSAT program's Mission Control Center (USMCC), via US Government provided communication links, for valiThe Government has provided the site information necessary to submit proposals in Attachment 4 - SUSA MEOLUT SITE INFORMATION. Should any Offerors decide that they want to see any, or all sites, Offerors must request such site visits in writing to the Contracting Officer, Michael Blumenfeld, no later than six (6) calendar days after the solicitation is issued.

This ground station will be referred to as the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA) Southwest USA Medium-Earth Orbiter Local User Terminal (SUSA MEOLUT), and will be an integral part of current MEO-based ground system operated by the US SARSAT program's USMCC. The SUSA MEOLUT must also be capable of calculating the locations of interfering (i.e., non-distress) signals operating in the 406.0 to 406.1 MHz band in near real-time. The SUSA MEOLUT will be required to work in conjunction with the 2 currently operational NOAA MEOLUTs, located at the USCG COMMSTA Honolulu and the USCG COMMSTA MIAMI, and is expected to be an operational part of the NOAA SARSAT system on a 24/7/365 basis. The overall purpose of the MEO system is to provide distress alert and location data for search and rescue (SAR) authorities in near real-time, using spacecraft and ground facilities to detect and locate earth position of the signals from the 406 MHz distress beacons. Offerors must submit all questions concerning this solicitation by e- mail to: Michael Blumenfeld, Contracting Officer E-mail: michael.blumenfeld@noaa.gov. Questions should be received no later than 2:00PM ET July 11, 2018.
