AI Contract Overview

The Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) in partnership with the General Services Administration (GSA) has introduced two new Commercial Satellite Communications (COMSATCOM) Special Item Numbers (SINs) under the IT Schedule 70, a Multiple Award Schedule designed for information technology services. These SINs, 132-54 for COMSATCOM Transponded Capacity and 132-55 for COMSATCOM Subscription Services, were released as part of the IT Schedule 70 Refresh #25 in February 2010, with subsequent minor updates in Refresh #26 issued in April 2010. While the clauses related to these SINs remained unchanged, DISA plans to begin task order competitions for DoD requirements using these SINs starting in the first quarter of Fiscal Year 2011, once there is sufficient vendor competition. Vendors interested in providing services under these SINs must hold or obtain a Schedule 70 contract by submitting proposals promptly, as proposal evaluation and contract awards operate on a first-come, first-served basis with an approximate 120-day turnaround. Due to the complex nature of the COMSATCOM services, manual application is recommended, and there is uncertainty about the timing of the next Schedule 70 modification release. The contract will be managed through the DoD’s Telecommunications Division located at Scott Air Force Base, Illinois, with Brenda K Leonard serving as the DISA FCSA Contracting Officer. Vendors are encouraged to visit the designated GSA web resources for guidance on proposal preparation and submission to ensure timely contract awards for providing satellite communications services to the Department of Defense.

Full Description

The Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) has partnered with the General Services Administration (GSA) to establish new Commercial Satellite Communications (COMSATCOM) Special Item Numbers (SINs) on the Information Technology (IT) Schedule 70 (a GSA Multiple Award Schedule). Two new COMSATCOM SINs were released as part of IT Schedule 70 Refresh #25 (Solicitation Number: FCIS-JB-980001-B) on 9 February 2010: 132-54 for COMSATCOM Transponded Capacity, and 132-55 for COMSATCOM Subscription Services. On 5 April 2010, GSA issued Refresh #26, where the only changes, unless otherwise indicated, were updates to the provisions and clauses from the original solicitation. The COMSATCOM SINs and associated clauses (e.g., Ci-FSS-055 Commercial Satellite Communication (COMSATCOM) Services (Jan 2010)) were not changed in any way by Refresh #26. DISA's intention is to begin acquiring services for DoD organizations under these COMSATCOM SINs once adequate competition is available which is projected to be in 1QFY2011. DoD requirements for COMSATCOM Transponded Capacity, and COMSATCOM Subscription Services will be competed on a task order basis among vendors who have Schedule 70 contracts for these SINs. Vendors who currently do not hold a Schedule 70 contract and vendors who do hold a Schedule 70 contract will need to prepare and submit proposals for contract award as soon as possible. Proposal evaluations and contract development/modifications will be completed on a first-in/first-out basis. The average turnaround time from receipt of proposal to contract award is 120 days. Given the complexity of the COMSATCOM Transponded Capacity and Subscription Services SINs, we advise vendors to manually apply as soon as possible. Currently, it is unclear when the next Multiple Award Schedule (MAS) Modification for Schedule 70 will be released. Interested Vendors are encouraged to visit the Future COMSATCOM Services Acquisition (FCSA) website (www.gsa.gov/fcsa) and the IT Schedule 70 website (www.gsa.gov/schedule70) for further information on how to prepare and submit COMSATCOM service offerings prior to the next multiple award schedule modification. There is a proposal evaluation and contract development timeframe for vendors who do not currently hold a GSA Schedule 70 contract to get an award.
