How does commercial satellite support the Government?Commercial Satellite Services support the Government with:

• Reliable communications where no wire line or wireless infrastructure exists

• Military Support and Communications• Quickly deployed Domestic Emergency

Response Communications• Continuity of Operations/Service Diversity

• Supplements Terrestrial Networks

10


Fixed Satellite Services (FSS)

• Bandwidth

• Terminals• Very Small Aperture Terminal

(VSAT) -1m to 3m Dishes• Large Terminals – 3m to 6m

DishSize

< 1m

> 6m

C-Band 4GHz to 6GHz

Ku-Band 12GHz to 14GHz

Ka-Band 33GHz to 36GHz

X-Band 7GHz to 8GHz

Continuity of Operations

• Path Diversity using Satellite to achieve COOPProviding satellite connectivity

whenterrestrial connection (frame relay, MPLS, T1, etc.) is not

available.

Routing Overview:Routes traffic over wire-line or satellite paths based on policy based rules

Loss of primary path will result in all traffic being re-routed over the other path

Upon restoral of primary link, all traffic re-routed back to primary path

DoD/GSA Partnership A Combat Support Agency

• DISA and GSA working together to procure COMSATCOM services for the Government

• Establish a common marketplace for all Government customers and Industry suppliers

• Leverage GSA’s multiple supply channels to optimize delivery of services

• Ensure all Government customers receive solutions that consider Government Information Assurance and Protection requirements

• Support the Administration’s agenda for cooperation among Federal organizations

COMSATCOM Requirements

• Transponded Capacity

• Subscription Services

• Custom End-to-End Solutions

21


Transponded Capacity

• Dedicated satellite bandwidth and power in any commercially available frequency band

Anything from a single data stream, to a partial transponder, to whole transponders, to entire satellites 22


Subscription Services

• Pre-existing, pre-engineered Fixed Satellite Service (FSS) or Mobile Satellite Service (MSS) solutions, including terminals tied to a service, in any commercially available frequency band

Internet

23Maximum leverage of commercially available services to meet customers’ growing and evolving requirements 23


End-to-End Solutions

• Customer defined, End-to-End solutions, consisting of a combination of bandwidth, teleport access, equipment, terrestrial tail circuits, network management, and engineering services

GIGInternet

Network

Integration Services

Staff

24Ability to handle any customer requirement, including “Turn Key” commercial solutions 24


Acquisition Approach Details

• New GSA Information Technology (IT) Federal Supply Schedule 70 Special Item Numbers (SINs) for Transponded Capacity and Subscription Services• Contractors define and price their commercial offerings

• New GSA ID/IQ Contracts for End-to-End Solutions• Customers defined the requirements, vendors engineer custom solutions• Full and Open competition for large-scale requirements• Small Business set-aside for remaining requirements

• Contract holders in each Service Area will be able to compete for requirements on a task order basis

25


COMSATCOM Schedule 70

• Evergreen Clause offers 20 year Period of Performance (PoP) (5yr base + three 5yr options)

• Allows addition of qualified vendors at any time• Contractors define and price their commercial

offerings • Posted Schedule prices based on Most Favored

Customer pricing• For most task orders, final pricing determined by

Task Order Solicitation and competition• New technologies and offerings can be added at any

time through contract modification26


Custom SATCOM Solutions (CS2)• Contracts for End-to-end Solutions

• Customers define the requirements; Contractors engineer custom solutions• Establishing two ID/IQ vehicles:

• Full and Open (F&O) Competition ID/IQ (Custom SATCOM Solutions) for large-scale requirements ($2.6B ceiling)

• Small Business Set-Aside (SB) ID/IQ (CS2-Small Business) for remaining requirements ($900M ceiling)

• Fixed price Task Orders• 5 year Period of Performance (3-year base + two 1-year options)
