SECURE-COMMUNICATIONS-SYSTEM-(SCS)

The Headquarters United States Special Operations Command (HQ USSOCOM) is seeking sources to provide a small and medium sized secure communications system (baseband) for the SDN system. USSOCOM is contemplating a Foreign Comparative Test (FCT) of an enhanced small and medium sized baseband. Prior to initiating the FCT, USSOCOM wishes to identify all firms (both foreign and domestic) which could provide a non-developmental small and medium sized baseband. USSOCOM seeks to identify a small and medium sized secure communications system (baseband) that has demonstrated a Technology Readiness Level of 8 or higher. This announcement is for information and planning purposes only. It does not constitute a Request for Proposal (RFP) and is not to be construed as a commitment by the U.S. Government. No contract award will be made as a result of this sources sought synopsis. If USSOCOM decides to conduct procurement as a result of your submissions, a separate pre-award synopsis of that procurement will be posted to FEDBIZOPPS. Interested companies are requested to submit a summary outline not to exceed 5 pages of the performance specifications of their proposed secure communications system (however, data sheets for existing products are not included in the page count). References to vendor Web pages will not be accepted. The Government will not entertain any questions at this time. Please note that we cannot return your submissions to you. Responses shall provide the name, telephone number, fax number, street address and e-mail address for their points of contact. Submit responses via e-mail to madeline.baumgartner@socom.mil. This request for Sources Sought is for planning purposes only and shall not be considered an invitation for bid, request for quotation, request for proposal, or obligation on the part of the Government to acquire any products or material.
