Space Based Space Surveillance Block 10 Pre Launch, Launch and Post Launch Support

The Space Superiority Systems Wing (SYSW) intends to award a sole-source, Cost Plus Fixed Fee (CPFF) supplemental agreement to the SBSS maintenance and operations requirements contract (FA8819-08-C-0006) for all remaining pre-launch, launch, and post-launch tasks currently contracted for under the SBSS development contract (FA8819-04-C-0002). Activities include preparation for and execution of launch activities, execution of post launch through completion of on-orbit checkout, maintenance and storage of the system in near-launch-ready status, transportation of the system and system components to the launch site upon launch call-up, and mission assurance and risk reduction activities. These activities will be removed from the SBSS development contract upon incorporation of this work into the SBSS maintenance and operations requirements contract. The estimated period of performance for this work is June 1, 2010 to June 30, 2011. The period of performance may vary based on the actual launch date and completion of on-orbit checkout. The intended source for this effort is Boeing Company, 2600 Westminster Blvd, Seal Beach, CA 90470, under the authority of FAR 6.302-1 - "Only One Responsible Source and No Other Supplies or Services Will Satisfy Agency Requirements". The Government believes Boeing is the only company capable of providing the services involved in the pre-launch, launch, and post-launch support of the SBSS Block 10. This effort is for the continued provisioning of highly specialized services. It is likely that award to any other source would result in substantial duplication of cost to the Government that is not expected to be recovered through competition, or would result in unacceptable delays in fulfilling Air Force requirements. Any persons or companies interested may submit a written Statement of Capability (SOC) containing the following information: Company name, address, primary POC including phone number, technical description of the offeror's experience, knowledge of Air Force Space Command space situational awareness (SSA), taskable space sensors and the associated Concept of Operations (CONOPS) and architecture, description of facilities and equipment intended for use in support of this effort; and proof of security clearances for government evaluation. Interested parties must have experience with analysis of Air Force Space Command military systems and capabilities, to include development of software and associated software tools, and must have detailed knowledge of Air Force Space Command space control systems, capabilities, and their operations across all SSA mission areas. All interested parties must be cleared to handle government equipment and information up to, and including TS/SCI/SAR and have personnel with current TS/SSBIs as well as a Top Secret - SCI accredited SCIF.
