Scope: Federal

REQUEST FOR INFORMATION The Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) Teleport Program Management Office (PMO) is seeking information from industry to assist with the development and planning of a potential new requirement.

THIS IS A REQUEST FOR INFORMATION (RFI) NOTICE ONLY.

THIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS (RFP).

NO SOLICITATION IS AVAILABLE AT THIS TIME.

Overview / Purpose / Description of Procurement DISA PMO is issuing this RFI to identify available industry capabilities regarding a Media Gateway (MGW) solution for the Department of War (DoW)’s Teleport System’s Generation 3 Phase 3 (G3P3) capability.

The DoW leverages two Ultra High Frequency (UHF) satellite communication systems: Legacy UHF and Mobile User Objective System (MUOS).

Due to their varying waveforms, an interoperability solution is required.

Resultantly, DISA developed essential integration systems known as the MUOS to Legacy Gateway Component (MLGC) and the MUOS Voice Gateway (MVG).

These gateways serve as the bridging architecture within the DoW’s Teleport System’s G3P3 capability, which is designed to connect modern satellite communications with legacy field gear.

Together, MLGC and MVG resolve a fundamental technological gap between generations of military radio systems: They provide direct interconnectivity between legacy UHF tactical radios (which operate on half-duplex, push-to-talk mechanisms) and MUOS radios (which utilize full-duplex, 3G-like cellular technology).

Specifically, the MVG manages the voice networks.

It routes and translates voice packets to allow ground troops to use legacy UHF radios to communicate seamlessly with those utilizing MUOS terminals.

The MLGC handles data exchanges and network-level translation, ensuring that security protocols and waveforms are converted in real-time to...

This is a contract solicitation, not a grant. To bid, you submit a proposal (usually a price and a description of how you would do the work) directly to the government, through the channel the official listing specifies, not through Oppward.

Make sure your business has an active SAM.gov registration. You cannot be paid on a federal contract without one.
