Description
The VA is seeking market input on commercially‑available Low‑Earth‑Orbit (LEO) satellite terminals and broadband services—both encrypted and non‑encrypted—to support its nationwide and overseas facilities. The requirement includes hardware, subscription plans, warranty, logistics, remote provisioning, monitoring, and 24×7 technical support, but explicitly excludes on‑site installation, cabling, or construction. Responses are limited to a capability statement (max 7 pages) that details company information, relevant experience, data‑plan options, warranty considerations, and acquisition recommendations. This is a sources‑sought notice, not a solicitation, and will inform future acquisition strategy.
• Provide LEO user terminals (fixed, mobile‑in‑motion, compact) and subscription services meeting VA performance specs (100‑350 Mbps downlink, ≤45 ms latency, IPv6 support).
• Offer remote provisioning, monitoring portal, warranty, logistics, and 24×7 help‑desk; on‑site installation is outside scope.
• Submit capability statement by 1 PM EST Oct 28 2026 via email; include company size, socioeconomic status, and rough cost estimate.
