Statement of Need - Leo Labs SCS Final 12.21.23.pdf

STATEMENT OF NEED

NESDIS/OSPO

1. Introduction/Background:

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), National Environmental

Satellite, Data, and Information Service (NESDIS), Office of Satellite and Product Operations

(OSPO) is responsible for the management and operations of the Satellite Operation Control

Center (SOCC) and the Environmental Satellite Product Center (ESPC).

2. Scope of Work

OSPO is mandated to protect its high-valued satellite assets that support the Department of

Commerce’s Primary Mission Essential Functions (PMEFs) to provide critical Environmental weather data to support weather forecasting. As space debris continues to increase in OSPO’s satellite operating environment, the OSPO engineering team requires improved conjunction assessment services in low-earth orbits to protect its space assets against collisions with space debris. OSPO requires satellite-tracking data using phased array radars with conjunction services for low-earth orbit satellites.

5. Security Requirements, if any

Products and services for exchange, refurbishing, or recycling of hardware must comply with NOAA IT Security

Manual (ITSM) media sanitization requirements (MP-6) and NIST SP 800-88 Revision 1. Pre-configured hardware must comply with FAR 39.101(c) regulations for adherence to the NIST SP 800-70 Rev. 3 common security configuration checklist program (https://nvd.nist.gov/ncp/repository). New hardware must comply with FAR 4.1302 and FIPS PUB 201 [in accordance with Homeland Security Presidential Directive (HSPD-12)]. In addition, new hardware shall be capable of implementing Internet Protocol Version 6 (IPv6) requirements as required by FAR part

11.002 requirements which state that unless the agency Chief Information Officer waives the requirement, when acquiring information technology using Internet Protocol, the requirements documents must include reference to the appropriate technical capabilities defined in the USGv6 Profile (NIST Special Publication (SP) 500-267; replaced by

NIST SP 800-119 in Dec 2010) and the corresponding declarations of conformance defined in the USGv6 Test

Program. To meet this requirement, each DOC acquisition of IP protocol technology must express requirements for

IPv6 capabilities in terms of the USGv6 Profile (i.e., using the USGV6 Capabilities Check List) and vendors must be required to document their product’s support of the requested capabilities through the USGv6 test program

(https://www-x.antd.nist.gov/usgv6/) using the USGv6 Suppliers Declaration of Conformity.
