DoD’s Commercial SATCOM Office Preparing Several Awards In 2020, Including $1 Billion Navy Contract

摘要

The Pentagon’s commercial satellite communications (COMSATCOM) office will release a final proposal request next April for a potential 10-year, $1 billion contract to provide the Navy’s broadband enterprise satellite services, with plans to award a contract in October 2020. Melissa Copeland, senior program analyst with the Air Force Commercial Satellite Communications Office, told attendees on Monday at a Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) conference her office is also readying several additional COMSATCOM opportunities in 2020, including CENTCOM support services and an Enhanced Mobile Satellite Services (EMSS) contract. “As we move forward to the SATCOM enterprise, we will see more emphasis on situation awareness tools and cyber security in addition to the basic requirements that you’re all familiar with. Please pay attention to all those factors. They are very important to us, and they will have an impact on who gets the award,” Copeland said.
