Notice of Intent to Sole Source - Post-delivery support of developed space and ground hardware and software
Solicitation # FA254826RB008
The Space Rapid Capabilities Office (Space RCO) intends to award a sole-source contract to Systems & Technology Research, LLC for post-delivery support of developed space and ground hardware and software. This effort focuses on providing systems engineering support for the verification, validation, and on-orbit troubleshooting of payloads, as well as transitioning a prototype ground system to full operational capability (FOC) within six months of the award to proceed. Key technical requirements include the development of a new graphical user interface, integration of mission-unique software, enhanced telemetry processing for 24/7 operations, and direct integration with the R2C2 Acme Ground Segment using cloud infrastructure and cybersecurity best practices. The contract is structured with multiple CLINs utilizing Cost Plus Fixed Fee (CPFF), Time and Materials (T&M), and Cost Only (No Fee) pricing models. The period of performance includes a mix of one and two-year base periods with multiple one-year option extensions. While the government intends to proceed with a sole-source award under 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) due to the contractor's role as the original developer, other responsible sources may submit capability statements by November 4, 2026. To be considered viable, any alternative response must explicitly prove the ability to achieve FOC within six months and demonstrate integration with the R2C2 Acme Ground Segment without relying on proprietary data.
