Attachment 1 PM_TCE_FSO_RFI_Response_Matrix.xlsx

This file is a response matrix template for a Request for Information (RFI) issued by Space Systems Command regarding orbit raising solutions for space vehicle upper stages. The RFI, numbered FA8819-RFI-SVUpperStage, seeks information on technologies and services that can minimize transfer time from Geosynchronous Transfer Orbit (GTO) to Geosynchronous Orbit (GEO), enabling rapid satellite placement while leveraging commercially available launch services to Low Earth Orbit (LEO) and GTO. The government seeks to evaluate emerging orbit raising systems for potential integration into its hybrid launch vehicle transport system as part of its Orbital Warfare and Space Domain Awareness missions.

The response matrix template captures essential vendor information across four primary categories: company details (name, CAGE code, DUNS, point of contact), technical capabilities (product name/model, throughput capacity, mass, electrical and mechanical interface control documents, GTO-GEO capacity, SWaP parameters, environmental compliance, and Technology/Manufacturing Readiness Levels), business information (rough order of magnitude pricing for single units and quantities of 10 and 20, production lead time, warranty terms, and intellectual property considerations), and supporting documentation (datasheets, brochures, and relevant test reports or field data). Respondents are required to provide comprehensive technical specifications that demonstrate their orbit raising solution's capability to minimize GTO-to-GEO transfer time while meeting government mission requirements.
