acquisition, or portions thereof, aside for small business � to include socially and economically disadvantaged businesses, 8(a) firms, or woman-owned businesses. The Government is seeking contractors interested in and capable of providing all technical and logistical effort required to design, develop, and deliver capabilities to support the CCS Meadowlands system. Background and Description: Scope: This effort encompasses all technical, logistical, software and hardware efforts required to produce CCS Meadowlands systems. Period and Place of Performance: It is envisioned that the period of performance will be approximately 12 months in duration. The Government is working through the details to determine when the contract will start. The place of performance is flexible to allow contractor to provide an optimized solution. Background: CCS System: CCS is a ground-based counter satellite communications (SATCOM) system specifically designed to reversibly deny, disrupt, and degrade adversarial SATCOM. The basic CCS concept is to provide a flexible, modular, scalable, rapidly deployable system with a key set of signal processing/generation (SP) capabilities, selected counter SATCOM missions, and a robust transmit capability. Its architecture will be designed to host core capabilities and/or other more sophisticated �plug and play� type modules to address the ever-increasing number of technologies and assets available to our adversaries. The latest CCS Meadowlands will have upgraded capabilities compared to the existing CCS 10.2 Systems. The future CCS Meadowlands fleet will be composed of at least 32 systems. Meadowlands is a transportable SATCOM system composed of modular Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS) / Government Off-The-Shelf (GOTS) Radio Frequency (RF) monitoring and generation equipment. The design incorporates multi-band antennas and equipment in transit cases. The frequency conversion system (FCS) that handles RF signals between the shelter transit cases to the antenna uses a proprietary photonics system. The system can be transported by C-130 or larger aircraft and by ground transport over improved or semi-improved roads. The system will be designed for operations by trained operators in US-controlled facilities world-wide, and in the Developmental Support Facility (DSF). The Meadowlands �Base Design� system meets current A-spec requirements. All systems have same Transit Case and Antenna configuration/capability. The Meadowlands base design system is comprised of the following major capabilities: Three independent, bidirectional antenna polarization paths Native Support for a single Large Multiband Antenna (LMA) Bands Supported: UHF, L, C, Ku, Ka Two separate independently controlled antenna polarization paths Simultaneous dual polarization operation Receive-only operation if desired Supports Base, and unique network specific missions Native Support for a single 1.2m Antenna Antenna Supports L-Band only The system can operate in three antenna Polarization Paths � Each Polarization Path Contains an Uplink & Downlink RF Interface. The system is capable of simultaneously operating/controlling up to three antennas and associated components utilizing three polarization paths. The Meadowlands system utilizes Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS) Ethernet, TCP & UDP/IP Standard interfaces for network communications (Data, Command, Control & Status) between Transit case assemblies, Antennas and the Software Server The Base System Configuration is composed of: 4 System Transit Cases in Shelter (Mission Control & Timing (MCT) Subsystem, Advanced Signal Processor (ASP) Subsystem, Shelter Photonics Unit (SPU1), SPU2) 1 Antenna Transit Case in Shelter for 1.2m Antenna (1.2m Transit Case) 1 Transit Case for Secure External Network Operations (Remote Ops Transit Case) � Contains Firewall & Encryption 2 Transit Cases outside by LMA antenna (Antenna Photonics Unit (APU)2 & APU2) APU Transit Cases The system can operate in the UHF, L, C, Ku, and KA RF Bands for Transmit and Receive via Frequency Conversion System (FCS) The production of the CCS Meadowlands units has been accomplished as part of a Pre-Planned Product Improvement effort. The program utilizes equipment from the CCS Block 10.2 systems as Government Furnished Equipment (GFE) including the LMA Antenna (Including Servo Controller, Feeds, High Powered Amplifiers (HPAs), Dummy Loads); the 1.2m Antenna (Including Servo Controller, Feeds, HPAs, Dummy Loads), Power Distribution Units (PDUs) (in transit cases) and also external PDUs, Environmental Control Units (ECUs), Tent, and a Power Management Unit (PMU) Requirements: The market research obtained from this request for information will be used to support a Government decision on the award of additional CCS Meadowlands systems between seven and up to an additional 24 systems. The intent for any future systems to follow the same design and functionality as the existing Meadowlands systems for efficiency in sustainment, training and and maintenance for the operational units. Additional Background Information Please contact the PCO should additional background information be required. Schedule and Key Deliverables: The Government may decide to hold an Industry Day at some point in the future. Should that Industry Day occur, contractors will be notified of the date and meeting details to allow for their attendance. SOC Administrative Requirements: The Government requests a maximum 10-page response in total with a 3-page limit for Company Information and Corporate Capabilities & Experience.
