The United States Space Force (USSF) Space Systems Command’s (SSC) operational imperative is to deliver national security space capability to the warfighter to deter/defeat current, emerging, and future threats — the NSSL Phase 3 approach is to provide assured access to space for the integrated space architecture at affordable prices.
The recently released Phase 3 Acquisition Strategy consists of a dual-lane approach with two separate contract types to fulfill program and national security requirements.
This RFP is for the Phase 3 Lane 1 procurement only.
The Government intends to competitively award multiple award Indefinite-Delivery Indefinite-Quantity (IDIQ) contracts. These IDIQ contracts will have a five (5) year basic ordering period and a 5 year option ordering period. The Government will reopen the original IDIQ solicitation on an annual basis to on-ramp emerging providers or systems.
The Lane 1 RFP is available at this direct link. Sensitive RFP documents will be provided via DoD SAFE. Potential offerors must contact the Contracting Officer, Kirsten Prechtl, and courtesy copy the Contract Specialist, Tyler Davis, listed in this notice to receive the sensitive RFP documents.
Proposals are due by 1500 Pacific Time on December 15, 2023.
