AI Contract Overview

The Infrared Space Systems Directorate Program Office plans to issue a Request for Proposal for the Space Based Infrared Systems (SBIRS) Follow-on Production (SFP) focusing on the Highly Elliptical Orbit (HEO) Transition to Operations. This contract aims to support the SBIRS constellation, which includes geosynchronous earth orbit (GEO) satellites and HEO payloads that provide missile warning capabilities against global and theater ballistic missile threats. The current ground system, developed under the Engineering and Manufacturing Development contract, supports a constellation of 2 HEO and 4 GEO satellites. The contract specifically addresses the command and control support for the HEO-3 and HEO-4 payloads, requiring modifications to the software, hardware, and support systems to enable the HEO-4 Launch and Early On-orbit Test phases and to complete the transition of these payloads to full operations. This Cost-Plus Award Fee contract is intended to be awarded solely to Lockheed Martin Space Systems Company, the original contractor responsible for the SBIRS program for the past 19 years. Lockheed Martin is deemed the only viable source capable of performing the required services without causing unacceptable program delays. Although this notice is informational and not a request for competitive proposals, interested parties, including small and disadvantaged businesses, are encouraged to express interest and submit relevant capabilities for consideration under FAR guidelines. Subcontracting opportunities may be pursued directly through Lockheed Martin. The contract falls under NAICS code 336414, with a small business size standard of 1,000 employees. Points of contact for technical and contracting inquiries have been provided to facilitate communication regarding this procurement.

Full Description

The Infrared Space Systems Directorate (IS) Program Office intends to release Request for Proposal for the Space Based Infrared Systems (SBIRS) Follow-on Production (SFP) - Highly Elliptical Orbit (HEO) Transition to Operations on 30 October 2013. The Government's intent is to make a sole source award to Lockheed Martin Space Systems Company. The SBIRS constellation consists of geosynchronous earth orbit (GEO) satellites and highly elliptical orbit (HEO) payloads. Its mission is to warn against global and theater ballistic missile attacks. Presently, the SBIRS ground system architecture is built on the Engineering and Manufacturing Development (EMD) contract will support a 2 HEO and 4 GEO constellation. The HEO-3 and HEO-4 replenishment payloads have been procured on the SBIRS Follow-on Production (SFP) contract and ground system capabilities are required to support command and control of both payloads. Modifications to software, hardware, and support are required to support HEO-4 Launch and Early On-orbit Test (LEOT). In addition, the contractor will be required to complete the transition of the HEO-3 and HEO-4 payloads to operations. The contract type will be Cost-Plus Award Fee. The intended contractor is Lockheed Martin Space Systems Company, 1111 Lockheed Martin Way, Sunnyvale, CA 94089-1212. The IS Program Office has contracted with LMSSC over the last 19 years. LMSSC is the original and the only responsible prime source that can deliver the required services. Award to any other source would result in unacceptable delays; therefore, there are no viable options to obtaining competition for this procurement. While this notice of intent is for informational purposes only, and is not a request for competitive proposals, interested parties, to include small and small disadvantaged businesses, may identify their interest and technical capability, and submit information which shall be considered by the agency in accordance with FAR 6.302-1(d)(2). The small business size standard (number of employees) for this requirement is 1,000 under NAICS Code 336414. Contractors interested in subcontracting opportunities should contact LMSSC directly.
