Protected Anti-Jam Tactical SATCOM Enterprise Mission Management (PATSEMM) Sources Sought Request for Information (RFI)view on SAM.gov

Section I: PTES Description & Background The Protected Tactical Enterprise Service (PTES) is the ground system designed to provide anti-jam (AJ) wideband Satellite Communications (SATCOM) capability utilizing the Protected Tactical Waveform (PTW) for the Protected Anti-Jam Tactical SATCOM (PATS) Family of Systems. PTES consists of a Mission Management System (MMS), a Key Management System (KMS), and Joint Hubs (JHs) to enable transponded PTW via WGS, Protected Tactical Satellite – Global (PTS-G) and commercial satellites, and processed PTW in space via Protected Tactical Satellite – Prototype (PTS-P) satellites. The user equipment consists of existing wideband terminals with upgraded PTW modems. PTW modems for user terminals include the Air Force-Army Anti-Jam Modem (A3M) and the Navy Wideband Anti-Jam Modem System (WAMS). The user terminal segment, not included in this acquisition, may utilize the low-cost PTW modem upgrades enabled by the A3M and WAMS programs. Requirements for PTW mission management have evolved and grown since the inception of the PTES Program, to include the requirements for other programs of record and management of PTW SATCOM over commercial satellite constellations. Additionally, the Government desires to implement a more rapid and flexible approach to delivering PTW mission management capabilities to meet urgent operational needs, in alignment with Agile and Software Pathway Program principles. This RFI specifically requests information related to development and fielding efforts as outlined within this document. Responses to this RFI will be considered as Market Research in accordance with FAR Part 10 to inform the Government's procurement strategy. The Government may or may not compete or award this requirement. Additional market research may or may not be conducted. Responses from small businesses and small disadvantaged businesses are highly encouraged. The anticipated NAICS code for this acquisition is 517810 and the size standard is $40,000,000. Section II: RFI Objective While PTW over WGS (PTWoW) provides an initial operational baseline, the Government emphasizes that this RFI seeks information from industry regarding the acquisition and integration of additional mission planning and mission management services beyond PTWoW alone, applicable across the broader PATS Family of Systems. Responses should address scalability, extensibility, and applicability to multiple satellite system implementations. The Government encourages responses from vendors capable of rapidly addressing the full scope of mission planning and mission operations functions, as well as from vendors proposing solutions that address one or more discrete subsections of the scope described in Section III. Respondents should clearly identify which specific subsections of Section III their response addresses and describe any assumptions regarding external services, integrations, or complementary capabilities provided by other vendors or the Governme…
