    Description

    The Department of Defense, specifically the Department of the Air Force, is announcing a no-cost extension for the Family of Advanced Beyond Line-of-Sight Terminals (FAB-T) Production Contract FA8705-13-C-0005, extending the Period of Performance from December 31, 2025, to December 31, 2027. This extension applies to a subset of fifteen Cost Plus Fixed-Fee (CPFF) Contract Line-Item Numbers (CLINs) due to contractor and site-related delays, ensuring the continued provision of secure satellite communications for U.S. and international forces. The FAB-T program is critical for meeting national security requirements, particularly for Command Post Terminals (CPT) with PNVC capability, and is limited to qualified sources such as Boeing and Raytheon due to their unique expertise. Interested parties can reach out to Brittany Desilets at brittany.desilets@us.af.mil or Catherine Ellison at catherine.ellison.1@us.af.mil for further information.

    The Department of the Air Force, Air Force Nuclear Weapons Center, is extending the Period of Performance (PoP) for the Family of Advanced Beyond Line-of-Sight Terminals (FAB-T) Production Contract FA8705-13-C-0005. This no-cost extension, from December 31, 2025, to December 31, 2027, applies to a subset of fifteen Cost Plus Fixed-Fee (CPFF) Contract Line-Item Numbers (CLINs) due to contractor and site-related delays. The FAB-T program, a follow-on to the MILSTAR system, provides secure, survivable satellite communications for U.S. and international forces. The original contract was a limited competition between Boeing and Raytheon, who are deemed the only qualified sources due to their unique experience with the AEHF waveform and satellite terminal development. Awarding to any other source would incur substantial duplication of costs and unacceptable delays in meeting critical national security requirements, specifically a USSTRATCOM need date for Command Post Terminals (CPT) with PNVC capability. Market research confirmed the limited number of viable sources capable of delivering the full FAB-T capability within the required timeframe. The government intends to acquire data rights to enable future competition for sustainment work.
