4. Identification of Statutory Authority: IAW FAR 6.302-1 Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements.
5. Demonstration of Contractor’s Unique Qualifications: In late fall of 2004 the Secretary of Defense asked for a review of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) utilization in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom. In response the Joint Staff conducted a study that determined there was a shortfall in communications to support UAV dissemination. At approximately the same time the Global Broadcasting System (GBS) Operational Requirements Document (ORD III) was being rebaselined to require two-way transmission of data. The Joint Staff (JS/J6Z), in January 2005, validated a Critical Need Statement-driven requirement to augment the GBS system with two-way service for CENTCOM. DISA (PEO-STS) has the mission responsibility to procure, install, deploy and train a complete Digital Video Broadcast-Return Channel Satellite (DVB-RCS) system for USCENTCOM support of Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF) and Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF).
The requirement is for the purchase of Grass Valley Opal IP Encapsulators. This equipment is responsible for encapsulating IP traffic into the MPEG2 ASI format for transmission over the DVB-RCS Forward Link. Additionally, the Opal IP Encapsulator is responsible for injesting GBS content sent from the Norfolk SBM. There are currently Grass Valley Opal IP Encapsulators and Grass Valley Ambers in use as part of the Landstuhl DVB-RCS Hub. However, with the expansion of the DVB-RCS Hub to Lago Patria DOD Gateway, additional IP Encapsulators and Ambers will be required. The Offline Analyzer will be required to be edit tables associated with the DVB-RCS broadcast. All of these products were approved by the DVB-RCS Engineering Review Board based on functionality and the fact that they are the only items that will work with the DVB-RCS Forward Link SubSystem. Equipment manufacturer and models identified are required to ensure interoperability with current DVB-RCS and GBS operational networks: procuring dissimilar equipment will jeopardize DISA’s ability to operate and maintain DVB-RCS hub operations.
Since 2005, the USCENTCOM DVB-RCS System has been operating in Landstuhl Germany, using the Opal IP Encapsulator and Amber DTV processor. Procuring dissimilar equipment will jeopardize DISA’s ability to operate, maintain and logistically support Warfighter operations, as well as disrupt interoperability between the Landstuhl and Lago DVB-RCS Hubs. Additionally, without the Opal IP Encapsulators and Amber DTV processor, the DVB-RCS system will not be able to injest required content from the Norfolk GBS SBM, which is a USCENTCOM requirement. The Grassvalley Off-line analyzer is required for configuration of the DVB-RCS Forward Link. Since this is an expansion of an existing effort, the need to maintain configuration control of the design to ensure interoperability is paramount. Equipment is already being used to support deployed Warfighters in OEF and OIF to great success. Selected equipment that is different from that equipment that has already been fielding introduces a significant risk to the Warfighter. Selection of different equipment would require modification of equipment in the field (resulting in loss of mission), new spares be procured, new training on the maintenance of the new equipment, and IA and Suitability Certification(s) would have to be successfully repeated.
