Commercial Low Earth Orbit (LEO) Destination Contract (CLDC) Request for Proposal
Solicitation # 80JSC027R0004
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration Johnson Space Center is soliciting proposals under solicitation 80JSC027R0004 for the Commercial Low Earth Orbit Destination Contract. This effort seeks a Multi-Award Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity contract, utilizing a Firm-Fixed-Price structure, for the design, development, manufacture, launch, and operation of a Commercial LEO Destination System to succeed the International Space Station. The system comprises three primary components: the Crew Transportation System, the Commercial LEO Destination, and the Cargo Transportation System. Performance is measured across three capability categories ranging from one-month crew tended missions to six-month standard service missions. The contract includes a base ordering period from April 2027 through April 2035, with two subsequent option periods extending the potential performance through April 2042. Proposals are due by December 8, 2026, at 1:00 p.m. Central Time, with Volume III regarding past performance requested early on November 24, 2026. Award decisions will be based on best value, evaluating Mission Suitability, Price, and Past Performance, with Mission Suitability being the most significant technical factor. The scope of work involves rigorous certification and safety standards, including compliance with AS9100 and specific human space flight requirements. Key contractual obligations include the submission of an Organizational Conflicts of Interest plan, adherence to the Outer Space Treaty, and the procurement of specific property damage insurance for certain launch vehicle categories.

This Request for Information Sources Sought is issued by the Department of Defense to identify potential sources for a non-competitive acquisition regarding the Launcher Interface Network Kit (LINK). The LINK serves as a translator box connecting PATRIOT launchers to the Integrated Air and Missile Defense Battle Command System network. The scope of work includes the manufacture and delivery of LINK end items for long lead and Low Rate Initial Production, as well as providing engineering, software, and logistical support to address problem fixes, obsolescent part replacements, and system repairs. Additional requirements involve updating Technical Data Packages and documentation, supporting modification work orders, and conducting a Physical Configuration Audit. Interested parties must provide detailed responses regarding their manufacturing capabilities, including capacity and location, as well as their conceptual approach to meeting short production lead times starting in October 2016. The government will provide the Technical Data Package and Software End Item as government furnished information. This announcement is for planning purposes only and does not constitute a solicitation for proposals or a commitment to award a contract. All written responses must be submitted to the U.S. Army Contracting Command by May 18, 2016.

Full Description

This Request for Information (RFI) Sources Sought (SS) is to identify any interested sources before soliciting a non-competitive acquisition per FAR 6.302-1 "Only One Responsible Source" for a modification to the Integrated Air and Missile Defense (IAMD) Launcher Interface Network Kit (LINK). This is not a solicitation for proposals and no contract shall be awarded from this announcement. This is not a request for proposal. The requirements of this acquisition are to manufacture and deliver LINK end items to use for the IAMD Battle Command System (IBCS) Program in support of long lead and Low Rate Initial Production (LRIP) activities; provide engineering, software, and logistical efforts as required to develop and incorporate LINK problem fixes and obsolescent part replacements; provide repair and replace support for the system; provide spares, Technical Data Package (TDP) updates, documentation updates, support Modification Work Order (MWO)/Engineering Change Proposal (ECP) activities, and the conduct of a Physical Configuration Audit (PCA). Unlike traditional acquisition programs that focus primarily on the development of a single system or platform, the Army IAMD (AIAMD) Program is uniquely structured to enable the development of an overarching System of Systems (SoS) capability with all participating Army Air Defense components functioning interdependently to provide total-operational capabilities not achievable by the individual element systems. The AIAMD program achieves this objective by establishing the AIAMD architecture and developing the IBCS that provides Engagement Operations Centers (EOCs) implementing common Mission Command (MC) capability, an Integrated Fire Control Network (IFCN) capability for fire-control connectivity enabling distributed operations, and the common Plug and Fight (P&F) B-Kits located on the EOCs and the IFCN Relays that network enable existing sensor components and weapon components with the IBCS. P&F A-Kits are developed and integrated on the various Component Acquisition Program (CAP) weapon and sensor Major End Items (MEI) and are interfaced to IBCS, which implements the overarching IAMD SoS networking capability. The Launcher Interface Network Kit (LINK) is a Launcher Action Message (LAM) / Launcher Response Message (LRM) translator box which connects PATRIOT launchers (PAC-2/PAC-3 variants) to the IBCS network via the IFCN Relay or the IBCS EOC. The Government has a LINK TDP and the Software End Item (executable) for this effort. The TDP and SW Executable is provided as Government Furnished Information (GFI). The responses shall address: - SHORT PRODUCTION LEAD TIME. Conceptual approach, estimated engineering, requalification and manufacturing lead times, key Government Furnished Property needed, driving assumptions and risks associated with the production starting October 2016. - MANUFACTUING CAPABILITIES. Address the capacity, location, and status of the manufacturing capability for the identified NDI solution (e.g., are the NDI subsystem currently. Identify the customers who have purchased the identified NDI solution.) All responses shall be submitted to the U.S. Army Contracting command, ATTN: CCAM-SM-T/Eddie Lewis, Building 5250, Redstone Arsenal, AL 35898-5280 or email eddie.d.lewis18.civ@mail.mil and courtesy copied to IAMD Project Office, ATTN: SFAE-MSL-IA/Jessica Galindo, Building 5250, Redstone Arsenal, AL 35898-5280 or email jessica.l.galindo6@mail.mil. Your written responses are required by 1500 CDT 18 May 2016. All questions and comments must be in writing (electronic email responses are acceptable), and no telephone calls will be accepted. The submission of this information is for planning purposes and is not to be construed as a commitment by the Government to procure any items, nor does the U.S. Army intend to award on the basis of this request for sources sought or otherwise pay for the information solicited.
