Synopsis- Defensive Cyberspace Operations (DCO) and Space Based Infrared System (SBIRS) Operation Support Modification

The 460th Contracting Flight at Buckley Air Force Base, Colorado, plans to award a sole source modification to the existing Defensive Cyberspace Operations (DCO) and Space-Based Infrared System (SBIRS) Operations support contract FA2543-18-C-0006 to LinQuest Corporation. This modification, with an effective date of August 31, 2018, and a potential end date of August 30, 2020, includes one one-year base period plus one one-year option. The contract is firm fixed price and follows FAR part 15 procedures, invoking FAR 6.302-1 for sole source justification, indicating that only LinQuest Corporation is qualified to meet the agency's requirements. The acquisition falls under NAICS code 541990, with a size standard of $15 million, and is focused on providing engineering, development, integration, operation, accreditation, and sustainment support for cyber defense and protection capabilities related to the SBIRS at Buckley AFB. The support services will be provided to the Space and Missile Systems Command’s Remote Sensing Directorate, Operations and Integrations Division, aimed at enhancing cyber defense for the SBIRS mission. This action is a presolicitation notice and not an invitation for proposals, as Buckley AFB is not currently accepting submissions. Interested parties wishing to comment on this contract action may contact Melissa Trotter or Emily Lizon at their respective email addresses. The place of performance is in Aurora, Colorado, and the contract modification is critical for the continued support and protection of space-based sensor systems vital to national defense.
