The Operations Support and Sustainment Element (OSSE) and OSSE-Extension must be maintained with Commercial-Off-The-Shelf (COTS) to provide capability to sustain and trouble shoot, as OSSE is the distribution mechanism for MCS software. The Contractor will maintain a Public-Private Partnership (PPP). The PPP must include sustainment, system engineering, training, shared expertise and providing equipment. The Contractor must expand and maintain the PPP with the 517th SMXG at Hill AFB, UT. This will include increased number of government positions, increased responsibility for management, and scope to cover all functional disciplines for ground software sustainment as well as support for contractor transition to organic maintenance. The PPP work will be performed in the CISF, Peterson AFB, CO. The PPP option includes direct sale (sales of articles and services) and lease, if required. HARDWARE SUSTAINTMENT The Contractor must provide engineering support for Diminishing Manufacturing Sources and Material Shortage (DMSMS) and execute technology improvements. The Contractor must maintain and dispose of contractor-managed Government Furnished Property (GFP) and Contract Acquired Property. The Contractor must be custodian of GFP and maintain an inventory system compatible with the Defense Property Accountability System (DPAS). ON-ORBIT SATELLITE OPERATIONS & SUSTAINMENT SUPPORT Technical Advisors must provide factory and on-site depot level satellite (i.e., bus and payload) and terminal technical and operational engineering support, which includes responding to anomaly emergency recalls and providing direct real-time operational support for continuous operations. INFRASTRUCTURE SUPPORT The MILSATCOM Auxiliary Support Center (MASC) with secure networks (voice and data) will be used and maintained at DSCS/Milstar/AEHF locations, and at Government and Contractor facilities.
