ENHANCED MOBILE SATELLITE SERVICES AIRTIME

STATEMENT OF WORK

 

1.0 Overview 

 

This Statement of Work (SOW) defines requirements for Enhanced Mobile Satellite Services (EMSS) acquisition to serve the Department of Defense (DOD) and other United States Government (USG) users throughout the world by leveraging the commercial Iridium Satellite LLC, hereinafter “Iridium” satellite constellation. Specifically, this SOW provides the DISA-Sponsored subscribers with EMSS airtime service utilizing the Iridium constellation.

 

1.1 Background

 

The DOD/USG has validated requirements for voice and data communications to support missions in polar regions, special operations, Very Important Person (VIP) communications, search and rescue operations, disaster relief efforts and other Command, Control, Communications and Intelligence (C3I) efforts worldwide.  These communications may be located within line of sight, over the horizon, at a distant theater location, or at a distant CONUS or OCONUS location.  To support many of these missions, these communications will require end-to-end security interoperability with the existing embedded base of Type I Secure equipment.  The communications network required to support these locations must provide global coverage from 90 degrees North to 90 degrees South.  To allow user mobility, the secure handset must be small and light weight.  EMSS provides a means to accommodate many, if not all, of the war fighter and other mission requirements.  

 

1.2 Contract Scope

 

This contract provides DOD/USG with a global satellite communication services for handset, pager, Subscriber Identification Module (SIM)-based and SIM-less short burst data (SBD), Distributed Tactical Communications System (DTCS) push-to-talk (PTT) or like services and other potential mobile/stationary configurations. Future services and/or capabilities may be developed for the Iridium / EMSS gateway and may be incorporated into this contract. This contract provides for unlimited airtime services, or some other variation thereof as further defined in the contract. The Contractor shall provide access service to individual Government subscribers who may possess pagers, handsets, SBD-enabled devices, or other devices and equipment. 

 

Manufacturing, ordering and provisioning of handsets, secure sleeves, pagers and other communication devices and accessories will be accomplished under a separate contract.

In addition, the day-to-day operation and maintenance (O&M) of the Government Gateway used to support Iridium services for the DOD/USG and to provide connectivity to the global Defense Information System Network (DISN) will be accomplished under a separate contract.  

 

The Contractor shall ensure the Government is allowed complete access to the global Iridium system and services utilizing full Government unique functionality.

 

The Contractor shall cooperate and coordinate with other EMSS contractors on the Gateway operation on user account information, provisioning, troubleshooting and any other information essential to EMSS.   

 

1.2.1 Definitions

 

Subscriber

A government Iridium service subscriber is an individual who uses a voice or data device or pager.  Each telephone device that uses a SIM card, each L-Band Transceiver (LBT), each stand alone pager, and each SIM-less SBD device registered and activated for service to the DOD Gateway will be counted as a separate subscriber.  Pagers registered and activated for use in a follow-me pager mode in conjunction with a handset will not be counted as a separate subscriber.

 

Follow-Me Paging 

Follow-me paging means that the pager works in conjunction with an Iridium handset to maintain the user’s location, and therefore, eliminates the need to update message delivery areas.

 

Stand-Alone Paging

Stand-alone paging is independent of voice service, and applies where a subscriber can specify up to three delivery areas where the pager will receive messages.

 

SIM 

Subscriber Identification Module (SIM) is a smart card roughly the size of a postage stamp that securely stores the key identifying a mobile phone service subscriber,  as   well  as, subscription information, saved telephone numbers, preferences, text messages and other information.

 

Short Burst Data

Short Burst Data  (SBD) is  a  data   service  that  enables wireless data   applications to cost-effectively send and receive short data transactions efficiently

Multicast

Multicast (commonly referred to as DTCS) provides the sender the ability to transmit a single voice and/or data message to a select group of recipients on the network. Multicast networks will not be counted as a subscriber.

 

Global Multicast 

This capability may be incorporated into other handsets or devices that utilize the Iridium network. Multicast networks will not be counted as a subscriber.

 

Global Data Broadcast 

Global Data Broadcast (GDB) is a satellite-based wireless broadcast service. The GDB service allows data providers to reach an unlimited number of subscribers quickly and efficiently. Any type of digital data can be delivered to discrete locations, single and/or multiple non-contiguous regions, or globally. Users can be part of one or more broadcast groups and receive multiple subscriber services simultaneously

 

OpenPort 

OpenPort currently offers 3 phone circuits and one data circuit (up to 128 kbs) on   a single platform.

7.3 Identification of Potential Conflicts of Interest (COI) 

 

FAR Part 9.501 defines “organizational COI” as a situation where because of other relationships or activities a person (company) is unable or potentially unable to render impartial assistance or advice to the Government or cannot objectively perform contract work or has an unfair competitive advantage.  FAR 9.502 states that “an organization COI may result when factors create an actual or potential conflict of interest on an instant contract, or when the nature of the work to be performed on the instant contract creates an actual or potential COI on a future acquisition.”  An “organizational COI” exists when the nature of the work to be performed may, without some restriction on future activities, (1) result in an unfair competitive advantage to the contractor on other contracts or (2) impair the contractor’s objectivity in performing the contract work.  The primary burden is on the contractor to identify any organizational COI, however, the Government has the responsibility to identify and evaluate such conflicts.  The KO is charged with avoiding, neutralizing or mitigating such potential conflicts.  The customer must make a determination that no COI exist, or identify any potential COI that may exist for the execution of this contract/TO.
