SCDS II is a follow-on contract to the SCDS contract (# FA8819-08-C-0001), which currently provides similar services for SMC/SY. This contract will contain a balance of Performance Based Life Cycle Support and transactional elements that will optimize system readiness and warfighter requirements as well as minimize overall cost to the Government. The Government plans to have the following efforts supported on the SCDS II contract: the Counter Communications System (CCS) Family of Systems (FoS), the Space Test and Training Range (STTR) FoS, the Defensive Space Control (DSC) FoS, the transition of Quick Reaction Capabilities (QRCs) to programs of record, and any future SMC/SY space control capabilities and systems transitioning into sustainment during the contract period of performance. For planning purposes, the current space control systems are located at Peterson and Schriever Air Force Bases, the infrastructure systems are located at various sites throughout the continental United States, and the program office is located near Los Angeles Air Force Base. For ease of communication, the Government will refer to the upcoming effort as the "SCDS II" contract and the anticipated award date for this effort is January 2016. Contractors are invited to submit a Statement of Capabilities (SOC) describing their qualifications as a prospective prime contractor or subcontractor for the SCDS II effort. The Government will use information from the SOCs to determine how many contractors are currently capable of meeting the Government's requirements. For those companies choosing to submit a SOC, please include answers to the questions in the attached matrix as well as supporting information/evidence for the answers to each question. Additionally, the SOC shall include information regarding experience with establishing public/private partnerships for depot support, and contractor experience with space control systems.

Be advised that only respondents with TS/SCI/SAR cleared personnel with a SMC/SY approved SCIF (IAW Intel Community Directives #704 and #705) will be eligible to request and receive the SCDS II request for proposal (RFP) when it is released by the Government. Responses from qualified small and small disadvantaged businesses are highly encouraged for either prime or subcontract interests. Under a small business set-aside scenario, a small business prime will have to perform at least 50% of the work.
