This initiative, identified by solicitation number FA823226SATCOM, is a formal Sources Sought notice issued under FAR subpart 15.201(e) and is strictly for information gathering and planning purposes; it does not constitute a solicitation, request for proposal, or commitment to award a contract. The required kit includes a passive, hermetically sealed SATCOM antenna, a radome, a dorsal fairing, and all necessary installation hardware, with exact specifications tied to existing fielded components identified by part numbers and NSNs: SATCOM Antenna (21-66-16, NSN 5985-01-575-6252), Radome (23036-1, NSN 1560-01-579-7160), and Fairing (21-60-03-3, NSN 1560-99-219-8230). The solution must enable Beyond Line of Sight communication with low and high angle coverage while maintaining negligible performance degradation due to the fairing structure.
