The contract, titled Support to Training & Adversary Replication (STAR), solicits non-personal services from subject matter experts to support the 527th and 57th Space Aggressor Squadrons and the 33rd Range Squadron in replicating adversarial capabilities in space and cyber domains. The work centers on mission planning, adversary emulation, cyber range operations, and training delivery for Space Aggressors, with expertise required in SATCOM, electronic attack, GPS electronic attack, offensive cyber operations, intelligence product generation, and warfare operations. Primary performance occurs at Patrick Space Force Base in Florida, with additional activities at Schriever Space Force Base and other CONUS/OCONUS locations where SATCOM and GPS systems are deployed. The contract includes a base period through 31 October 2027, with an option year extending to 31 October 2028 and a possible six-month emergency extension through 30 April 2029. All deliverables, including tailored intelligence products, maintenance logs, cyber intelligence reports, mission planning materials, after-action reports, and cyber range scenarios, must meet strict Government standards for accuracy, timeliness, and classification protocols. The contractor is required to maintain a TS-level facility clearance, and all personnel must hold at least a Secret clearance, with many roles demanding TS/SCI access and prior Special Access Program experience. Personnel must undergo mandatory security training, comply with DoD 8570.01-M cybersecurity certification mandates, and complete Government Counterintelligence Scope Polygraphs for SAP access. The contractor must submit all deliverables electronically and adhere to stringent data handling rules, including Government retention of unlimited rights and no retention of classified information post-contract. Responses to this sources-sought notice are limited to 20 single-spaced pages and must be submitted via email by 1400 EST on 30 July 2026 to designated Space Force points of contact. No pricing data is provided, and the award basis is not explicitly stated, though the technical complexity and classified nature of the work suggest a trade-off evaluation rather than LPTA.
