## Description

Solicitation M6785422R2001 is amended to update CDRL A018 based on posted MCWS L/H late questions, dated 10-21 under Attachments. As a result of a system error, please note that while this Amendment shows as Amendment 0014, it is actually the 13th amendment issued under this solicitation. THIS IS A REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL (RFP).

The Marine Corps Systems Command (MCSC), Quantico, VA, requires delivery of Marine Corps Wideband Satellite Communications (SATCOM) Light (MCWS-L) and Heavy (MCWS-H) Systems to the United States Marine Corps (USMC). The MCWS-L/H uses beyond line of sight terminals to provide access to the World Wide Web, Department of Defense (DoD) information network services, and Marine Corps enterprise services via DoD gateways, utilizing radio frequency and over the horizon transmission means.

The work to be performed under this effort includes two separate phases for the MCWS-L and MCWS-H Systems. The first phase is to procure MCWS-L and MCWS-H Test Systems to support a Developmental Test that will include testing and logistics efforts to support the Government’s production decision. The second phase will consist of the production, testing, and delivery of systems to support the USMC’s fielding requirements.

The phases will include deliveries of the following, as ordered: technical data, logistics data, training data, training support, fielding support, and sustainment support as well as any technology upgrades or engineering changes needed to maintain the relevance of the MCWS-L and MCWS-H systems. MCSC intends to meet this requirement by selecting a single contractor for a single-award, Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity contract for both systems, consisting of five, 1-year ordering periods.

The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code is 517410 - Satellite Telecommunications. This procurement will be conducted as a full and open competition.
