Description
As published on SAM.gov.
The Space Development Agency (SDA) seeks industry feedback on releasing an intermediate Optical Communication Terminal (OCT) Standard between v3.1.0 and v4.0.0 to reduce risk in the upcoming Tranche 3 solicitations. SDA is considering an additional revision (v3.2.0) to its OCT standard to publish alongside OCT standard v4.0.0. OCT Standard v3.2.0 will include critical updates from v3.1.0 and new requirements defined in v4.0.0 not specific to the burst-mode waveform implementation.
SDA intends for v3.2.0 to be the standard of record for Tranche 3, with a smaller, select number of optical terminals compliant with v4.0.0. As such, SDA strongly encourages industry vendors to provide feedback on v3.2.0 via responses to this Request for Information. See the attachment for details.
