Description
Amendment One: The purpose of Amendment One is to provide responses to questions received in accordance with this RFI, to provide a capture of the Question and Answer Session held on May 24, 2022, and to provide a capture of the Lightening Networking Day held on May 26, 2022.DSO requires an ASCS to replace the IPCS and enable both DoD incumbents and licensees to rapidly coordinate shared spectrum usage in the 3450-3550 MHz frequency band indefinitely. The ASCS will, to the maximum extent feasible, automate the end-to-end process to reduce the need for humans in the loop, while improving the speed at which licensees can access the spectrum for which they have acquired licenses. ASCS will also allow licensees to take advantage of refinements in analytic capabilities or models of commercial (5G) and DoD operations that will share the 3450-3550 MHz band.
DISA DSO intends to procure the requisite ASCS prototype capability using a Challenge-Based Acquisition (ChBA) approach culminating in a Prototype Other Transaction Agreement (OTA). For more information on ChBA, please reference the ChBA guide at: Challenge-based-acquisition-5th-edition. The Government expects to use a three-phase process to rapidly select its ASCS vendor.
THIS IS A REQUEST FOR INFORMATION (RFI) NOTICE ONLY. THIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS (RFP). NO SOLICITATION IS AVAILABLE AT THIS TIME.
