E-MAIL: COMMERCIAL SATELLITE COMMUNICATIONS TERMINALS, santamj@doim6.monmouth.army.mil. The U.S. Army CECOM requests sources sought for commercially available satellite terminal systems. The objective of the requirement is to acquire (purchase or lease or lease-with-option-to-purchase) interoperable and logistically supportable C-band, Ku-band and Ka-band commercial satellite terminals. The government anticipates the procurement of both off-the-shelf and state-of-the-art equipment for these and other bands as they become commercially available. The Department of Defense, including its Services and Agencies, and other Departments of the Federal Government will be able to satisfy their requirements for satellite terminal systems through this contract. The terminals may be acquired for installation and use on a world-wide basis and may include contractor installation, operations and maintenance during the life of the contract. The terminals will vary in antenna size (e.g., 2.4 meter, 4.6 meter, 11 meter, 15 meter, etc.) and configuration (e.g., C-band Gateway, C-band Standard Trunk, Ku-band Gateway, Ku-band Standard Trunk, etc.). Contractors who are interested in this program should send to Mr. Lawrence A. Asch, AMSEL-ACCA-A-AE, Fort Monmouth, NJ 07703, (908) 532-5486, asch@doim6.monmouth.army.mil, their company name, point of contact, address, phone number, fax number, e-mail address and any catalogs, brochures or information related to commercial satellite terminal systems and related services.
