This is NOT a solicitation. This is a sources sought synopsis of the an intended procurement of KGV-31 COMSEC/TRANSEC Cryptological Devices in support of the SBIRS and NG-OPIR Programs being managed by United States Space Force (USSF) Space Systems Command (SSC). Next Generation Missile Warning systems and current Missile Warning systems in sustainment are early-warning assets that provide early detection of missile launches worldwide. These multiple programs utilize the KGV-31 Crypto-modernized COMSEC-TRANSEC Module. The KGV-31 inserts into the legacy SBIRS Enhanced Multimode Modem (SEMM) and OPIR-SBIRS Enhanced Multimode Modem (O-SEMM) to provide a complete TRANSEC solution for the programs. Both the KGV-31 and SEMM/O-SEMM are packaged for operations; both are required for full operational support. The KGV-31 maintains the Control and Status (C&S) RS-232 interface, the TRANSEC TOD input interface, and TRANSEC output stream interface to the SEMM/O-SEMM. The KGV-31 is the only NSA approved TRANSEC solution for the SBIRS and NG-OPIR systems that provides operational capability and is the gold standard for all TRANSEC developmental activities to this day for the missions. Those interested in providing statements of capabilities and explaining how the contractor is able to effectively and efficiently produce KGV-31 COMSEC/TRANSEC Cryptological Devices for SBIRS and NG-OPIR may submit a package to the Points of Contact listed below.
