SATCOM RF Equipment Spares for Parabolic Dish Sub-System (PDSS)

The United States Space Force (USSF) is conducting a sources sought synopsis for the procurement of spares for the Parabolic Dish Sub-System (PDSS) in support of the SBIRS S2E2 Program. This initiative aims to replace outdated mobile ground systems with modern solutions capable of enhanced missile warning and operational flexibility. As the S2E2 system enters sustainment, spare custom-built Line Replaceable Units (LRUs) are required, which were not part of the original antenna manufacturing process. Interested vendors are invited to submit information on their capabilities to manufacture these LRUs, which include multiple functional modules like K-Band, S-Band, power management, and interface modules, all designed for challenging environmental conditions. The government seeks contractors experienced in Department of Defense acquisition processes to streamline proposal submissions, identify and manage obsolescence risks, and provide manufacturing and testing solutions for the LRUs. Through a series of inquiry questions, the government aims to gauge the capability and readiness of potential contractors, including their production experience and engineering design capacities. Interested companies must respond with detailed information by June 16, 2025, to the provided government contacts, ensuring compliance with the requirements laid out in the announcement.
