Purpose: This is a Sources Sought. The Space Systems Command (SSC) located at Los Angeles Air Force Base, California, is seeking information in the form of Statements of Capabilities (SOC) from interested parties in support of the SSC, Space Domain Awareness and Combat Power Directorate requirement for the Counter Communications System (CCS) Meadowlands as described below. The Government is conducting market research to inform its Acquisition Strategy. The purpose of this notice is to identify potential sources that can meet CFC/MD3's requirement. The Government reserves the right to set this acquisition, or portions thereof, aside for small business – to include socially and economically disadvantaged businesses, 8(a) firms, or woman-owned businesses. The Government is seeking contractors interested in and capable of providing all technical and logistical effort required to design, develop, and deliver capabilities to support the CCS Meadowlands system. Background and Description: Scope: This effort encompasses all technical, logistical, software and hardware efforts required to produce CCS Meadowlands systems. Period and Place of Performance: It is envisioned that the period of performance will be approximately 12 months in duration. The Government is working through the details to determine when the contract will start. The place of performance is flexible to allow contractor to provide an optimized solution. Background: CCS System: CCS is a ground-based counter satellite communications (SATCOM) system specifically designed to reversibly deny, disrupt, and degrade adversarial SATCOM. The basic CCS concept is to provide a flexible, modular, scalable, rapidly deployable system with a key set of signal processing/generation (SP) capabilities, selected counter SATCOM missions, and a robust transmit capability. Its architecture will be designed to host core capabilities and/or other more sophisticated “plug and play” type modules to address the ever-increasing number of technologies and assets available to our adversaries. The latest CCS Meadowlands will have upgraded capabilities compared to the existing CCS 10.2 Systems. The future CCS Meadowlands fleet will be composed of at least 32 systems. Meadowlands is a transportable SATCOM system composed of modular Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS) / Government Off-The-Shelf (GOTS) Radio Frequency (RF) monitoring and generation equipment. The design incorporates multi-band antennas and equipment in transit cases. The frequency conversion system (FCS) that handles RF signals between the shelter transit cases to the antenna uses a proprietary photonics system. The system can be transported by C-130 or larger aircraft and by ground transport over improved or semi-improved roads. The system will be designed for operations by trained operators in US-controlled facilities world-wide, and in the Developmental Support Facility (DSF). The Meadowlands “Base Design” system meets current A-spec requirements…
