The Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA), Emerging Technology (EM) Directorate through the DISA Procurement Services Directorate (PSD) is seeking the development of prototype systems, software, and processes that can be used to operationally measure clutter loss using Global Position System (GPS) signals across multiple satellite constellations. SECTION 1 OVERVIEW/DESCRIPTION PURPOSE This Request for White Paper (RWP) is being issued to conduct research, development, and testing activities associated with GPS Based Clutter Loss Measurement (BCLM) activities. This request meets the statutory requirements of Other Transaction Authority (OTA) (10 U.S.C. 10 U.S.C. §2371b) for the development of a GPS BCLM prototype. The Department of Defense (DoD), Military Services and Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) Defense Spectrum Organization (DSO), each developed transition plans to support the migration of DoD systems leaving the 1755-1780 megahertz (MHz) band and to facilitate increasingly less restrictive spectrum sharing arrangements for early entry of commercial Advanced Wireless Services-3 (AWS-3) systems in support of the new Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and the National Telecommunications Information Administration (NTIA) rule making for AWS-3. The DISA Transition Plan, which is managed by the DSO, includes six initiatives, one of which is the DISA 5, 1755-1780 MHz Spectrum Sharing Test and Demonstration (SST&D) Program. SST&D includes the authority to investigate improvements related to AWS-3 spectrum sharing between DoD and industry. The primary objectives of the DISA 5 SST&D Program are to: Facilitate Expedited and Expanded Entry (FEEE) of commercial deployments into the 1755- 1780 MHz band. Identify, Assess, Test/demonstrate, and Operationalize (IATO) coexistence assessments, interference mitigation, and other spectrum sharing enablers that support increased sharing between Long Term Evolution (LTE) and incumbent DoD systems. In order to achieve its objectives, the SST&D Program currently focuses on three broad technical areas for improvements in evaluating AWS-3 spectrum sharing, one of which is propagation modeling between early-entry LTE systems and DoD receivers. Propagation modeling supports early entry of commercial users into the AWS-3 band by analyzing the aggregate interference level to DoD assets. DSO has developed and continues to refine the Early Entry Portal Analysis Capability (EEPAC), which computes the aggregate interference to DoD assets due to LTE User Equipment (UE) emissions in proposed LTE network deployments (that operate in the 1755 – 1780 MHz band). An important factor impacting the aggregate interference level at DoD receivers is the clutter loss on the paths between the UEs and the DoD receivers. As a result, considerable effort is being expended to develop and improve “clutter models” that can be used within EEPAC, and other Service- specific aggregate interference tools (AITs) to predict clutter loss. Under DISA 5, DSO conducted initial market research in the form of an initial study, which was completed in March of 2017. Specifically, the initial study evaluated the feasibility of using GPS signals to measure clutter loss in various environments. However, while the initial study provided valuable information, in order to meet emerging needs of the DoD, the Government needs to take the next step in the form of prototype OTA. The initial study effort clearly shows significant potential to further pursue this technique for characterizing clutter loss for 1755-1780 MHz band systems because of the following: Standard GPS receivers can make power measurements down to thresholds near -130 decibels per milliwatt (dBm) with accuracies to tenths of a decibels (dB) and Clutter loss measurements from this effort demonstrate the need to obtain GPS signals below this threshold (clutter environment dependent). This GPS Based Clutter Loss Measurement Prototype effort will transition the effort from a study and take it much further, by developing prototype systems, software, and processes that can be used to operationally measure clutter loss using GPS signals across multiple satellite constellations. STATEMENT OF NEED This prototype OT will be competed amongst vendors that express interest in clutter-loss technology and vendors whose specialty is in spectrum use and its relative technologies. The prototype developed under this effort will be tested, evaluated, and refined for a possible follow- on production. The results of this prototype project are directly relevant to enhancing the mission effectiveness of military transmitter/receiver systems. An important factor impacting the aggregate interference level at DoD receivers is the clutter loss on the paths between the UEs and the DoD receivers. Identifying clutter loss characteristics prior to DoD’s decision-making timeline ensures that the most informed decisions can be made, maximizing the usage of scarce spectrum resources. Ultimately, the early identification of this information reduces DoD’s costs and risks resulting from the AWS-3 transition. The AWS-3 program requires the ability to rapidly measure clutter loss at operational locations. Currently, use of GPS to more accurately associate clutter measurements at specific locations, does not exist within DoD, and this OT will develop and provide two prototype instrument devices capable of making the requisite measurements. The value of this clutter loss data will rapidly diminish over time, as decisions must be made based on anticipated potential interference. Obtaining clutter loss data will enable the DoD to reevaluate its fundamental approach to clutter loss modeling, and it will enable the AWS-3 program to make more sound recommendations as systems transition.

An award may be made to the responsible vendor whose offer, conforming to the requirements outlined in the RWP, is determined to be the best overall value to the Government, price, and other factors considered. The evaluation criteria are outlined in sub section 3.4.1 – 3.4.7. Throughout the evaluation, the Government reserves the right, but is not obligated, to ask questions about individual vendor solutions. However, any response to the RWP that does not fully address all of the requirements will be/can be eliminated from further consideration. This RWP constitutes Phase I of the evaluation, described below. ACQUISITION PHASE I – WHITE PAPER EVALUATION The Government will issue a Request for White Papers (RWP, via direct email to non-traditional vendors that have expressed interest in clutter-loss technology, vendors whose specialty is in spectrum use and its relative technologies and vendors who have participated in the incubation of new technologies to revolutionize the way in which spectrum is utilized. The RWP will request vendors to submit Rough Order of Magnitude (ROM) costs and narratives. The Government will conduct an evaluation of all eligible White Paper(s) submitted in response to this RWP. The White Papers will be evaluated to identify viable solutions to the problem statement. The Program Manager will direct a technical team to evaluate White Paper submissions in accordance with the defined selection process detailed in the RWP. Final selection(s) recommendation(s) will be made by the program management technical lead to the Agreements Officer (AO). After the evaluation of White Paper(s), the Government may select solution(s) that will proceed to the next phase. Any vendor whose solution is not selected, will be provided a letter containing brief explanation for non-selection. ACQUISITION PHASE II – ORAL PRESENTATIONS (OPTIONAL) The Government may elect to proceed to Acquisition Phase III or invite selected vendors to provide an oral presentation, which can be conducted in person, via videoconference, or phone. During the presentation, a vendor should be prepared to discuss in detail its solution and be prepared to answer specific questions the Government may have after a review of the white papers. After the presentation, the Government will evaluate presented vendor’s solution and determine whether it will proceed to the next phase. Any vendor whose solution is not selected will be provided a letter with brief explanation for non-selection. ACQUISITION PHASE III – REQUEST FOR PROJECT PROPOSAL The Government will issue a Request for Project Proposals (RFPP) to the selected vendor. After the receipt of the RFPP, the Government will conduct an evaluation to ensure it meets the requirements. The next step will be to invite the vendor to meet with the Government in order to engage in negotiations. The Government will provide an initial model OT Agreement to the selected vendor, which will be the Government’s opening position for negotiations. Using a collaborative process, the Government and vendor will develop a detailed Project Work Statement, negotiate Terms and Conditions, agree on milestones, KPPs and deliverables, and negotiate final price. Once the Government and the selected vendor reach an agreement, the AO will conduct a pre-award review of the prototype OTA Agreement. Upon completion of the review, the AO will award a prototype OTA Agreement to a selected vendor. In the event that the Government is unable to reach an agreement with the initial selectee, the Government may re-evaluate White Paper Responses and make another selection. EVALUATION CRITERIA The overall evaluation will be based on the integrated assessment of the criteria outlined in sub- sections 3.4.1 – 3.4.7. Vendors are required to meet all of the evaluation requirements, objectives, and representations. Failure to respond to any of the following evaluation factors listed below (sub-sections 3.4.1 – 3.4.7) may result in elimination from the competition. In addition, the Government has included several templates (e.g., tables, etc.) within several of the evaluation factors outlined below, that identify the minimum level of information that must be included with the final submission. If a vendor fails to include the Government provided templates (identified as required), then such failure may result in the vendor’s White Paper submission being deemed non-compliant and inadequate for further evaluation.
