GDC4S is the only source that possesses the MUOS design knowledge and expertise required to modify, update, and sustain the MUOS Ground System. The required sustainment efforts cannot be performed by any other source other than GDC4S without substantial duplication of cost to the Government that is not expected to be recovered through competition. The solicitation No. N00039-17-R-0146 is anticipated to be released and negotiated in Fiscal Year 2017 and awarded subsequently. The prospective award is planned to be an Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ), contract consisting of a five-year base ordering period and five one-year option ordering periods. The hybrid contract will consist of a mix of fixed-price and cost-reimbursement Contract Line Item Numbers (CLINS).
