Electromagnetic Spectrum (EMS) Services Applied Engineering, Spectrum, and Electromagnetic Environmental Effects (E3) Engineering Analysis Support

Background
The Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) is a recognized center of excellence for Department of Defense (DoD) spectrum matters. DISA's mission includes providing Spectrum, Electromagnetic Environmental Effects (E3) Engineering and Analysis Support services on a reimbursable, customer-funded basis to DoD Components, Federal Agencies, Non-Federal Government Organizations, and authorized foreign entities. This requirement is mandated under DoD Instruction (DoDI) 3222.03 and DoDI 4650.01.

DISA seeks to identify potential sources for Electromagnetic Spectrum (EMS) Services Applied Engineering and E3 Engineering Analysis Support through this solicitation.

Work Details
The contractor will perform the following tasks:
1. **E3 and Spectrum Engineering**: Analyze equipment and systems for potential E3 problems; perform radio frequency measurements; assist in assessing E3; evaluate operational frequency bands; provide assistance in acquiring host nation approval for equipment operation.

2. **Technical Advice**: Analyze national and international electromagnetic spectrum issues; advise decision-makers on policy and implementation options.

3. **Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) and E3 Analyses**: Conduct EMC analyses to ensure spectrum supportability of systems in intended environments, including environmental, cosite, electromagnetic vulnerability, and radiation hazards analyses.

4. **Spectrum Supportability Risk Assessments (SSRAs)**: Develop SSRAs addressing regulatory, technical, operational, and E3 aspects of system life cycles.

5. **Equipment Spectrum Certification (ESC)**: Ensure S-D systems can obtain necessary spectrum through frequency allocation support and host nation assessments.

6. **Spectrum Measurement Support**: Provide measurement support for S-D systems to ensure compatibility with operational environments.

7. **Protection of International Usage of the Spectrum**: Monitor spectrum allocation changes proposed at the ITU to protect international spectrum usage by S-D systems.

8. **Spectrum Standards Support**: Review and update DoD instructions regarding electromagnetic radiation hazards.

Period of Performance
365 calendar days from the start of the contract with four 12-month option periods.

Place of Performance
Primary place of performance will be at DISA Headquarters located at 6910 Cooper Avenue, Fort Meade, MD 20755-7901, with additional work at the contractor's facility and periodic local travel within the National Capital Region.
