This publication is for information only and does not constitute a Request for Proposal (RFP), Government sponsorship of contractor charges against any Government contract for attendance or proposal efforts, or a Government promise to pay for any information received in response to this announcement. The Government is requesting inputs/feedback. (1) (a) The Space and Missile Systems Center (SMC) Remote Sensing Systems Directorate (SMC/RS) will be soliciting white papers through the use of a Broad Agency Announcement (BAA), see attached draft BAA, (see FAR 35.016) to mature critical space OPIR technologies and identify innovative concepts and component technologies for potential transition into the Next-Generation OPIR Systems. Also, please consider this pre-solicitation notice as an announcement of the Government's intent to hold an industry day for the subject effort; see below for details. (b) The attached draft BAA seeks projects for advanced research technology development, and work funded under the attached draft BAA may include applied research and advanced technology development that is not related to the development of a specific system or hardware procurement. The attached draft BAA is used to fulfill SMC/RS's requirement, under the Space Modernization Initiative (SMI) for technology investment, scientific study and experimentation directed toward advancing the state-of-the-art or increasing knowledge or understanding rather than focusing on a specific system or hardware solution. (c) The general focus areas for the draft BAA calls include, but are not limited to: space segment resiliency, payload technologies, space vehicle technologies, data processing and other on-board software development, and novel technologies. SMC/RS may release up to two BAA calls per year, outlining which specific focus area(s) the program office is currently interested in, along with the objectives within that focus area. This effort will span over seven years starting in December 2018, and will not exceed $90M in total contract awards. (d) The attached draft BAA will use a two-phased approach. Phase 1 of the proposal selection process consists of an invitation to submit white papers. Phase 2 of the proposal selection process consists of a request from the Government to the offeror(s) for full technical and cost proposals. (e) Attached to this announcement is the draft BAA. (f) The BAA contains sensitive and classified reference documents. All sensitive and classified documents will be provided upon request and after clearance verification. For clearance verification, please submit your Company name, website, Federal Tax ID, CAGE Code, DUNS number and mailing address, along with your technical, security and administrative points of contact (including email addresses (unclassified, SECRET, TS/SCI), and telephone number)s to the primary and secondary points of contact identified in this announcement. Further verification may be required through SIPR, JWICS, or GWAN, as applicable. (g) Industry Day - Industry Day is scheduled for 31 Oct 2018 at the Engility Corporation. The UNCLASSIFIED session will be held from 8:30am - 11:30am at 100 Pacific Coast Highway, El Segundo CA 90245, Great Room (1st floor). The CLASSIFIED (SCI) session will be held 1:30pm - 4:00pm at the 200 Pacific Coast Highway, El Segundo CA 90245, Suite 1800, Yosemite Room. Industry Day Registration Instructions- Registration must be submitted NO LATER THAN Friday, 26 Oct 2018. To register, complete Attachment 2 and submit it via e-mail to the Lt Alex Nemesh at oleksandr.nemesh@us.af.mil. Interested attendees must also submit a visit request via JPAS to Englility Corporation (SMO Code: 66RP13) for both the unclassified and classified sessions. Due to space limitations, the total number of attendees each company may bring to the Maturation of Critical Technologies for OPIR Industry Day general session is limited to 4 representatives per company. If the conference room attendance limit is reached, company POCs will be contacted to further limit the number of attendees. (2) O mbudsman (i) An ombudsman has been appointed to hear and facilitate the resolution of concerns from offerors, potential offerors, and others for this acquisition. When requested, the ombudsman will maintain strict confidentiality as to the source of the concern. The existence of the ombudsman does not affect the authority of the program manager, contracting officer, or source selection official. Further, the ombudsman does not participate in the evaluation of proposals, the source selection process, or the adjudication of protests or formal contract disputes. The ombudsman may refer the interested party to another official who can resolve the concern. (ii) Before consulting with an ombudsman, interested parties must first address their concerns, issues, disagreements, and/or recommendations to the contracting officer for resolution. Consulting an ombudsman does not alter or postpone the timelines for any other processes (e.g., agency level bid protests, GAO bid protests, requests for debriefings, employee-employer actions, contests of OMB Circular A-76 competition performance decisions). (iii) If resolution cannot be made by the contracting officer, the interested party may contact the ombudsman, Colonel Trent Tuthill, Phone Number (310) 653-1786, mailing address SMC/PK, Attn: Col Trent Tuthill, 483 N. Aviation Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90245-2808. Concerns, issues, disagreements, and recommendations that cannot be resolved at the Center/SMC ombudsman level, may be brought by the interested party for further consideration to the Air Force ombudsman, Associate Deputy Assistant Secretary (ADAS) (Contracting), SAF/AQC, 1060 Air Force Pentagon, Washington DC 20330-1060, phone number (571) 256-2395, facsimile number (571) 256-2431. (iv) The ombudsman has no authority to render a decision that binds the agency. (v) Do not contact the ombudsman to request copies of the solicitation, verify offer due date, or clarify technical requirements. Such inquiries shall be directed to the contracting officer.
