- Description
- The Space and Missile Systems Center (SMC) MILSATCOM Systems Wing (MCSW), Wideband Global SATCOM (WGS) Program Office, intends to release a solicitation to acquire additional Satellites and ground stations for the Wideband Global SATCOM (WGS) program to the incumbent contractor, Boeing Satellite Systems, Inc., 2260 Imperial Hwy, El Segundo, CA 90245-3501. The period of performance for this sole-source contract will be from July 2010 - September 2022. Classification code 18, identified at http://www.fedbizopps.gov/, applies. The original WGS contract was competitively awarded to Boeing Satellite Systems in Jan 2001. The purpose of the contract was for the development and production of one satellite with options for satellites 2 through 6 and the associated ground control segments, Global SATCOM Configuration Control Elements (GSCCE). The options for satellites 2 & 3 and GSCCEs were exercised. The funding required to exercise the remaining satellite options was not available prior to the option "exercise no-later-than dates" and subsequently, the options expired. A second WGS contract was awarded sole source to BSS in Feb 2006; this contract was for production and launch of satellites 4-6. As part of the Fiscal Years 2010-2015 Program Decision Memorandum (PDM) III, the Air Force was directed to procure additional WGS satellites to support and maintain an eight-satellite constellation and to begin launching in FY15. Under the contemplated contract, BSS will provide non-recurring engineering and long-lead hardware for satellite 7. The contract will also include priced options for the production and launch of satellite 7 as well as advanced procurement, production and launch for satellites 8-12 based on producing one satellite per year. The information contained herein is based on the best information available at the time of publication, is subject to revision, and is not binding on the Government. This notice is for information purposes only and the Government will not recognize any cost associated with submission of information. Submit all inquiries or responses to this notice to the Procurement Contracting Officer, LaKisha Porter. Email: lakisha.porter@losangeles.af.mil. Mailing Address: SMC/MCSW/PK, Attn: Ms. LaKisha Porter, 483 N. Aviation Blvd., Suite 1467-A8, Los Angeles Air Force Base, El Segundo, CA 90245-2808.
