The Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) is seeking sources for Program Executive Office Command Control Communications-Tactical (PEO C3T) Project Manager Mission Command (PM MC) Managed Access and Transceivers. This is a SOURCES SOUGHT TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION to determine the availability and technical capability of both large and small businesses (including the following subsets: Small Disadvantaged Businesses, HUBZone firms, Certified 8(a), Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses and Woman Owned Small Businesses) to provide the required products and/or services. PEO C3T PM MC is seeking information for potential sources to develop, design, and evaluate a transceiver capability to supplement the existing Joint Battle Command-Platform (JBC-P) Blue Force Tracking (BFT) system. The transceiver must provide global (pole-to-pole) coverage via Iridium Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite services and is readily available on a short burst, and must be capable of supporting missions that are deployed on a short notice and/or that cannot currently be effectively supported due to cost and or geo-location. In addition, it is the ARMY intent that the required capability have managed access architecture to allow ARMY to effectively use satellite resources (such as providing control of satellite channel assignments). This effort will include the development, design, and evaluation of an Iridium Low Earth Orbit satellite transceiver that provides global coverage, is capable of short burst data, and is upgradable to allow for managed access architecture.
