A -- Multi-Access Laser Communication Head (MALCH) Study

The MILSATCOM Joint Program Office (MJPO) had initially canceled solicitation no. 03-94 for the Multi-Access Laser Communication Head (MALCH) Study due to funding reductions. However, the MJPO has since secured the necessary funds to proceed with awarding contracts. As a result, the previous cancellation issued on March 6, 2003, has been rescinded, and the Government now plans to award up to two contracts based on the proposals originally submitted by the deadline. No new proposals are being solicited at this time. This contract opportunity, posted by the Department of Defense's Sustainment Mcpnt Ssc/pkl office located at Peterson Air Force Base, Colorado, pertains exclusively to the MALCH Study. The contracting officer responsible for this procurement is Charles J. Briggs, who can be contacted via email or phone. The action reflects the Government’s continued commitment to advancing MILSATCOM technology through laser communication systems, without reopening the solicitation to new participants.
