- Description
- SMC/LGKM, located at Peterson AFB, CO, will award a follow-on sustainment contract in support of Air Force Space Command's MILSATCOM Joint Program Office (SMC/MCL), Peterson AFB CO. This contract will provide support for Mission Control Segment (MCS) Hardware Maintenance; MCS Software and Database Maintenance; Systems Engineering Integration, and Test (SEIT); and MCS Technical Manual Services, for current MILSATCOM fielded systems. The Government intends to award a sole source contract to Lockheed Martin IAW FAR 6.302-1, Only One Responsible Source and No Other Supplies or Services Will Satisfy Agency Requirements. MILSATCOM is a system of systems that provides balanced wideband, narrowband and protected communications capability for a broad range of users across diverse mission areas. Specifically, supporting the sustainment of the Milstar System for SMC/MCL requires detailed knowledge of Milstar satellites, payloads, and terminals design, functional interfaces, and interoperability. Hardware maintenance encompasses services to provide product integrity support; technical support; system fault isolation; on-site and emergency depot level maintenance support; organizational maintenance of the Proficiency Trainer at Vandenberg AFB; organizational maintenance of the Milstar Mission Control Segment (MCS) software and database sustainment equipment located in the Centralized Integration Support Facility (CISF) at Peterson AFB Colorado; maintenance support of the Milstar MCS equipment located at the Lockheed Martin facility in Sunnyvale, CA and the Northrop-Grumman Space Technology (NGST) facility in Redondo Beach, CA; and engineering support to the operations of the Milstar Mission Control Segment EHF command and control equipment, which shall include, but not be limited to, the Satellite Mission Control Subsystem (SMCS). Software and Database Maintenance encompasses services to support the sustainment of the MCS and Schriever AFB (4SOPS) direct mission support. System knowledge is required to maintain the Oracle database and produce integrated software/database releases for Satellite Mission Control Subsystem (SMCS); the Lockheed System Simulator (LSS) software component of the Milstar System Simulator (MSS); the Proficiency Trainer (PT); the Space/Ground Link Subsystem (SGLS) component of Mission Support Element (MSE); and the G.E. Development Environment (GDE) software component of the Mission Development Element (MDE). System interfaces also include development support of the MILSATCOM Command and Control System-Consolidated (CCS-C) program (consisting of specified dual product releases and directed technical assistance); TestBed integration and activation support; Mission Planning Element (MPE) to include Automated Communications Management System (ACMS) and Milstar Communications Planning Tool?Interim (MCPT-I) integration test support; and, if required, auxiliary Advanced Extremely High Frequency (AEHF) program transition planning and preparation. SEIT encompasses user integration support; systems engineering; system technical interface support; system configuration baseline support; system security and system test support; and, if required, special requirements for Advanced Extremely High Frequency (AEHF) program transition planning and preparation. Technical manual services encompasses quarterly maintenance updates and quick response support to Milstar Constellation Control Station (CCS) System Operator Instruction Manual (Technical Order (TO) 31S8-2USQ115-41), Continuous Acquisition and Life Cycle Support (CALS), and interactive Authoring and Display System (IADS) viewable mediums. This is a follow-on effort to the existing Milstar sustainment contract currently performed by Lockheed Martin Space Systems Company, Sunnyvale, CA. The Government has been contracting with Lockheed Martin for these types of services for over 20 years. Award to any other source will increase program risk and duplicative cost to the Government that will not be recovered through competition over the short duration of this contract. However, interested parties must submit an unclassified Statement of Capability (SOC) within 20 days of this announcement demonstrating proven Milstar logistics capability, past program experience, and knowledge to perform Mission Control Segment (MCS) Hardware Maintenance; MCS Software and Database Maintenance; Systems Engineering, Integration, and Test (SEIT); and MCS Technical Manual Services. The SOC shall not exceed 10 one-sided pages in length. Response must be submitted by e-mail in electronic form in MS Word 98 or higher or, PDF Format. All responses must conform to 8.5 by 11 inch pages, with font no smaller than 12 point. The basic period of performance is for one year with 2 one-year options and will begin in Dec 05 lasting through Dec 08. The projected Request for Proposal (RFP) release date for this effort is July 05. This synopsis is for information and planning purposes only; it does not constitute a RFP. Information herein is based on the best information available at the time of publication, is subject to revision, and is not binding on the Government. The Applicable North American Industry Classification System (NAICS)code is 541710 (1000 employees). The Government will not recognize any cost associated with the submission of an SOC. Information received will be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether any prospective credible source other then the incumbent exists. Submit all responses to synopsis to: SMC/LGKM, Attn Laureli Mazik, 1050 E Stewart Ave, Peterson AFB, CO 80914-2902 (e-mail: laureli.mazik@cisf.af.mil). An Ombudsman has been appointed to address concerns from offerors or potential offerors. The Ombudsman does not diminish the authority of the program director or contracting officer, but communicates contractor concerns, issues, disagreements, and recommendations to the appropriate Government personnel. When requested, the Ombudsman shall maintain strict confidentiality as to the source of concern. The Ombudsman does not participate in the evaluation of proposals or in the source selection process. The Ombudsman is the Director of Staff, SMC/DS, phone number (310) 363-3571.
