The FA8810 Space Sensing Ssc/snk, operating under the Department of the Air Force, is tasked with the development, engineering, and operational support of space-based sensing and surveillance capabilities. Its core mission focuses on missile warning and missile tracking, specifically through programs such as Overhead Persistent Infrared (OPIR) and Medium Earth Orbit (MEO) systems. Strategic priorities include the integration of specialized technical systems engineering for MWT/SMI and the advancement of Wide Field of View (WFOV) capabilities. The agency also prioritizes environmental monitoring through both space- and ground-based sensor networks and the implementation of Data-as-a-Service (DaaS) platforms for mission data hosting.
Procurement patterns are heavily weighted toward high-end technical services, specifically research and development in physical and engineering sciences. The agency frequently seeks systems engineering and technical direction (SETD), mission operations support, and payload tasking services. Contract vehicles often include sole-source bridge contracts for critical technical continuity and subcontracts for specialized planning and acquisition strategy.
The agency primarily targets vendors within NAICS 541715 for R&D and 541611 for management consulting. Industry engagement often begins with Requests for Information (RFI) and sources-sought notices to identify commercial data services and technical capabilities. While the agency utilizes SBA set-asides, a significant portion of its complex technical requirements are pursued through non-set-aside competitions.
The organization functions as a specialized directorate within the Department of Defense's Air Force structure, focusing on the technical lifecycle of space sensing assets from acquisition strategy and technical planning to operational mission support.
