GSA issued a Federal Supply Schedule contract to Utah State University Space Dynamics Laboratory under the Professional Services Schedule (PSS) on November 12, 2003, with an ultimate completion date of November 11, 2023. The contract carries a ceiling value of $1,508,961.00 and covers strategic planning for technology programs and activities, including concept development, requirements analysis, system design, engineering and integration, and test and evaluation services. Work encompasses definition and interpretation of high-level organizational engineering performance requirements for projects, systems, and missions; typical tasks include analysis of mission and program goals, requirements analysis, organizational performance assessment, special studies, training, and privatization and outsourcing evaluation.

The schedule operates as a multi-agency vehicle; agencies place orders against the PSS price list rather than conducting separate competitions. Place of performance is nationwide. Task order activity under this PSS contract includes delivery orders for VIP-C server maintenance and warranty to Air Combat Command at Beale Air Force Base ($1,214,600.20 ceiling, completed September 2023); cross-track infrared sounder support services to NOAA at North Logan, Utah ($405,414.88 ceiling, completed August 2018); NPOESS Preparatory Project and JPSS cross-track infrared sounder and advanced technology microwave sounder support to NOAA at Silver Spring, Maryland ($4,029,809.44 ceiling, completed August 2017); and heat switch design for unnamed customer at North Logan, Utah ($341,123.76 ceiling, completed June 2005). Additional orders span program director support, satellite instrument calibration workshop organization, HI-TRACK enterprise software, and systems engineering and technical services work at Dugway Proving Ground and other Army and Air Force locations. A NASA-designated Blanket Purchase Agreement under this PSS for specialized engineering was awarded February 3, 2006, with ultimate completion July 31, 2012.

Strategic planning for technology programs/activities concept development and requirements analysis system design, engineering and integration test and evaluation services required under this SIN involve the definition and interpretation of high-level organizational engineering performance requirements such as projects, systems, missions, etc., and the objectives and approaches to their achievement. Typical associated tasks include, but are not limited to an analysis of mission, program goals and objectives, requirements analysis, organizational performance assessment, special studies and analysis, training, privatization and outsourcing. Services required under this SIN involve abstract or concept studies and analysis, requirements definition, preliminary planning, the evaluation of alternative technical approaches and associated costs for the development or enhancement of high level general performance specifications of a system, project, mission or activity.
