Tender Details

DESCRIPTION:
The United States Space Force (USSF), Space Acquisition & Integration Office (SAIO), on behalf of Space Force Mission Delta 9 (MD9) at Schriever Space Force Base, CO, is issuing this Request for Information (RFI)/ Sources Sought notice as part of an ongoing market research.
The purpose of this notice is to identify capable industry partners, gauge market interest, and obtain direct industry feedback on our upcoming sustainment strategy.

SL-5 is a predominantly unclassified system, allowing for flexible coordination outside of SAPF spaces. However, the lack of an integrated sustainment partner encompassing systems engineering, proactive cybersecurity monitoring, and responsive technical support has led to increased systemic risks:
Unintegrated Sustainment Execution across Program Management and Systems Engineering disciplines.
Configuration Management & Cybersecurity Drift under high-tempo mission windows.
Inconsistent Tier II/III Engineering Support challenging the operati...
