Protected Tactical Waveform (PTW) Joint Hub Variant Request for Information (RFI)

The United States Space Force is conducting market research to gather information on the expected cost, schedule, and required effort associated with modifying the PTWoW PTES Joint Hub design for a common baseline Joint Hub Variant. The PTW Joint Hub Variant will serve as a common-baseline Joint Hub for multiple PTW programs. The Government is seeking a single enterprise architecture solution for the PTW ground hub, which will be referred to as the Joint Hub Variant (JHV). The contractor shall design and build JHV solutions for both GEO and MEO missions, develop, build and integrate NSA-certified ECUs into the JHV, and propose a GFX list required to build the JHV solution. • The contractor shall design, build, and test JHVs utilizing the security controls that are allocated to other PTES JHs. • The contractor shall identify potential program risks and mitigations. • The Government intends to maximize the use of Firm-Fixed-Price (FFP) contracts with this procurement. • The Government is deliberating the use of an Indefinite-Delivery, Indefinite-Quantity (IDIQ) contract vehicle to meet these requirements. • The contractor shall deliver a schedule Rough Order of Magnitude (ROM) estimate to develop and produce a JHV solution for both GEO and MEO missions. • The contractor shall deliver a cost ROM estimate to develop and produce a JHV solution for GEO and MEO missions consistent with the quantities specified.
