Digital Intermediate Frequency System

The Department of the Army’s Product Manager – Wideband Enterprise Satellite Systems (PdM WESS) at Fort Belvoir, VA, has issued a Sources‑Sought RFI (Solicitation W15P7T26RDIGIF) to identify qualified systems integrators capable of engineering, integrating, testing, installing, and sustaining a Digital Intermediate Frequency (Digital IF) architecture for up to 18 large DoD SATCOM teleport sites worldwide. The effort seeks a resilient, modular, standards‑based ground‑segment solution that delivers high‑speed Digital IF networking, automated signal‑chain management, Digital IF Modems, Combiner/Dividers, Converters (with future direct RF conversion capability), test/measurement equipment, and flexible WAN Points of Presence, while ensuring intra‑theatre (CONUS, EUCOM, SWA, INDOPACOM) connectivity, fail‑over, and scalability in capacity and waveform support. Respondents must demonstrate availability of the required equipment and subsystems, expertise in DoD teleport integration, installation, testing, and ongoing logistics/software support, and the ability to provide M&C automation via documented northbound APIs (mission scheduling, status, configuration, and reporting). The solution must meet Wideband Global Satellite (WGS) certification requirements, support third‑party Digital IF modems such as the emerging EDIM modem, and incorporate cybersecurity controls including Zero‑Trust Architecture and Risk Management Framework accreditation. Vendors are asked to submit company information (name, address, CAGE code) and indicate any existing contract vehicles; both large and small businesses are encouraged to respond.
