This Market Survey is soliciting for possible sources for a contract to provide Depot Repair services, field maintenance support, engineering services, and Software Support Services for the subject equipment, Communication Modem MD-1366/U (NSN 5895-01-519-2525) and MD-1366A/U NSN 5895-01-519-2415) Enhanced Bandwidth Efficient Modem (EBEM). Current EBEM's are manufactured by ViaSat with Part numbers 1091549 (MD-1366) and 109550 (MD-1366A). Prospective bidders shall provide new or refurbish EBEM's to the government within establish time period after order receipt.

The EBEM is intended for use with Department of Defense (DoD) and commercial satellite systems. It is compatible with legacy modems, is physically smaller, provides increased bandwidth efficiency through the use of improved modulation techniques, significantly improves the error correction capability through the use of Turbo coding, and introduces new features of antenna handover and automatic adaptation to changing transmission link conditions. Fixed and mobile applications are supported in a single electronic design that reduces field logistics and maintenance.
