The Space and Missile Systems Center Satellite and Launch Control Systems Program Office (SMC/CW) has a requirment for engineering services to sustain the current Air Force Satellite Control Network (AFSCN) Command and Control Segment. At industry briefings on 6 Dec 94 and 21 Mar 95, SMC/CW announced that its acquisition strategy for sustaining and upgrading the AFSCN will involve five separate contracts. This synopsis is only for the Command and Control Sustainment Contract (CCSC), which will acquire engineering services for the sustainment of the current AFSCN Command and Control Segment. The CCSC contractor will be required to perform diverse tasks on a continuing basis in the areas of segment, systems and site level engineering and integration, software and hardware maintenance, and directed engineering for Command and Control Segment (CCS) data processing systems installed at Onizuka Air Station, Falcon AFB, R&D support sites, training facilities, and other locations. The CCSC contractor will be specifically responsible for providing depot and on-site support for hardware and software maintenance of mainframe and workstation-based systems. Hardware maintenance includes maintaining COTS equipment as well as some unique hardware and firmware. Software maintenance involves maintaining code written in High Order Languages (JOVIAL, FORTRAN, Ada, etc.) and assembly language, as well as providing software upgrades of COTS and government non-developmental item software packages. The period of performance extends from award to 30 Sep 2003. The contract type is primarily cost plus award fee. An organizational conflict of interest provision will preclude the award of the CCSC and Network Integration Contract to the same company (See DRFP Section H). Companies or parent companies bidding on the CCSC must be American owned. Contract security requirements are provided in DRFP Attachment 5.
