AI Contract Overview

The Space and Naval Warfare Systems Command (SPAWAR) plans to negotiate a follow-on sole-source contract with Boeing Satellite Systems to provide engineering, technical, and support services aimed at maintaining and extending the operational life of the Ultra High Frequency Follow-On (UFO) Military Satellite Communications constellation. This contract addresses the need for ongoing technical feedback and analysis of best practices to ensure the health of the existing UFO satellite system, which has been operational since 1987 and rides on the Boeing 601 class satellite platform. Boeing, as the original equipment manufacturer, possesses specialized knowledge and historical data crucial for sustaining these satellites, whose standardized bus design across 81 spacecraft allows for operational efficiencies. The contract is structured as a firm fixed price agreement spanning five years, starting with a base year followed by four option years, with an estimated award date of December 1, 2015. Although this is a sole-source procurement due to Boeing’s exclusive expertise, the government encourages any other potential offerors to submit relevant information for consideration. The contracting office is located in San Diego, California, with Jeff McCoy and Jordan Ketelsen serving as the points of contact for inquiries. This contract supports the Department of Defense’s mission to maintain vital military satellite communications capabilities.
