The US Air Force Space and Missile Systems Center (SMC) Tactical SATCOM Division intends to acquire a Government certified and operational Protected Tactical Waveform (PTW) modem. This new acquisition is referred to as the Air Force and Army Anti-jam Modem (A3M). To acquire this A3M capability the Government has chosen to use an Indefinite-Delivery/Indefinite-Quantity (IDIQ) contract allowing rapid and flexible acquisition. The draft RFP includes the IDIQ Statement of Work (SOW) and Delivery Order 1 (DO1) SOW. The IDIQ SOW includes efforts related to the research and development, production, sustainment, and any necessary, and/or related services for the terminals and terminal components for Protected Tactical SATCOM (PTS), Commercial SATCOM (COMSATCOM), or Wideband Global SATCOM (WGS) phase of the Protected Anti-Jam Tactical SATCOM (PATS) system of systems. The DO1 SOW includes the design, engineering development, fabrication, integration, certification and testing of the A3M 1U form factor modem for use in the Air Force Global Multiband Terminals (GMTs) and Army Space Transportable Terminals (STTs). It includes the associated program management, system engineering, cyber security, human engineering and logistics support planning requirements. Subsequent DOs will be authorized under this IDIQ for the production and procurement of the A3M modems and follow-on development and production of other PTW modem variants and terminal subsystem enhancements. Upon receipt of Industry feedback, this draft RFP will be updated and a final RFP will be issued (date to be determined).
