A -- MIGHTYSAT (MSAT) PHASE I SOL F29601-95-R-0022 DUE 060295 POC Tammie L. Johnson, Contracting Officer, (505)846-6923, Capt Mark K. Lutey, Project Officer, (505)846-0623. Notice of Contract Action (NOCA). The Phillips Laboratory Space Experiments Directorate (PL/SX) anticipates solicitation of one phase of its Advanced Technology Transition Demonstration (ATTD) under Phase I of the MightySat experimental satellite program. A Sources Sought Synopsis was released on 6 and 9 Feb 95, number F29601-95-R-0022. The solicitation will be released on or about 1 May 95 with the date for receipt of proposals 30 days after issue. MightySat Phase I is for the refurbishment and flight of an existing small spacecraft bus, which is residual hardware from a prior government contract with CTA of McClean, VA. The program will involve hardware, software, and associated engineering for the refurbishment of the existing, government-owned micro satellite bus, integration support for a set of PL experimental payloads, and launch and on-orbit operations support. This effort will be limited to a single micro-satellite mission using the CTA-developed spacecraft bus, and is expected to be between $1M and $2M in contracted costs. The expected term of this work will be from 3QFY95 to 2QFY98. The large majority off the effort is expected to be completed in the first 12 months to support a required Dec 96 launch. The Government intends to solicit this effort from CTA on a sole-source basis. CTA is the only known source for the requirement based upon the lack of a sufficient data and documentation package for ground support equipment, drawings, software listings, etc. for the government-owned satellite, the familiarity of CTA with the government-owned small satellite system, and the required delivery schedule. Any other parties requesting the RFP must send a letter stating such, including their assigned Commercial and Government Entity (CAGE) and size of business. The SIC code for this effort is 8731 with a small business size standard of 500 employees. Send responses to: PL/PKSB, Attn: Evan Dunne, 3550 Aberdeen Ave SE (Bldg 592), Kirtland AFB, NM 87117-5776. Verbal requests for a copy of the solicitation will not be honored. Foreign firms are advised they will not be allowed to participate as the prime contractor. The research and test data produced under a resultant contract may contain Military Critical Technology List (MCTL) information whose export is restricted by the Export Control Act (Title 22, U.S., Sec. 2751, et seq.) or the Export Administration Act of 1979, as amended (Title 50, U.S.C., App. 2401, et seq.). Only those companies that are on the Qualified Contractors Access List (QCAL) may receive such information. This effort is not classified.
