The Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) intends to award a fixed price sole source task order to The Boeing Company to procure engineering and manufacturing of components (kits) required to seamlessly modify the current Legacy SATCOM capability of the E/F/G aircraft and enable Mobile User Objective System (MUOS) functionality. The aforementioned includes, but is not limited to, cabling, bracketry, wiring modifications, additional components and engineering required to address unique cross-system requirements/complexities to integrate MUOS voice functionality. Initial MUOS voice capability is required to deliver to the fleet in Q4 FY23, under Contract N00019-16-G-0001.  MUOS is an Internet Protocol (IP) Based Satellite Communications (SATCOM) waveform which replaces Legacy SATCOM waveforms: 25 KHz Dedicated, Demand Assigned Multiple Access (DAMA), DAMA-Integrated Waveform (IW). The MUOS functionality is housed in the ARC-210/RT-2036 radio which is manufactured by Collins Aerospace and is Government Furnished Equipment (GFE) for this effort. This acquisition is being pursued on a sole source basis under the statutory authority 10 USC 2304 (C) (1) as implemented by Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 6.302-1, "Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements." The Boeing Company is the designer, developer, manufacturer, and integrator and as such, is the only known firm with the knowledge, experience, and technical expertise required to accomplish this effort.
