Amendment 0001 to Solicitation FA255326RB001
This is an Amendment of Solicitation/Modification of Contract issued by the U.S. Space Force (FA2553 OPRN TEST & TRG INFR OTTI PK at Peterson Space Force Base, Colorado) on 6 April 2026. The amendment incorporates updates from Questions and Answers published on 3 April 2026 and modifies Sections L and M of the solicitation. The contract involves the National Space Test and Training Complex (NSTTC) Innovative Technology & Engineering - Space Test and Range (NITE-STAR) Capability Development Multiple Award Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) procurement. The amendment changes the contract type for CLINs 0001 and 1001 from Cost Plus Fixed Fee (CPFF) to Firm-Fixed Price (FFP) and updates corresponding contract clauses. The total maximum dollar value for all orders across this contract and all other contracts awarded under solicitation FA2553-26-R-B001 shall not exceed $981,000,000.00, shared among all awardees. The anticipated ordering period runs from 1 July 2026 through 30 June 2031, with CLIN 1001 serving as a five-year option to extend the IDIQ for an additional five years (total ten years from award). The Government intends to utilize multiple contract types including FFP, Fixed Price Incentive Firm, Cost Plus Incentive Fee, Cost Plus Fixed Fee, Cost Reimbursable, Cost Plus Award Fee, and Fixed Price Award Fee for task and delivery orders.
The amendment adds four FAR clauses related to Changes-Fixed-Price (February 2026 versions) and incorporates FAR 52.244-2 Subcontracts with Space Systems Command Class Deviation, requiring Contracting Officer consent for certain subcontracts. Additionally, it incorporates DFARS 252.204-7021 requiring Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) Level 2 (Self) compliance for all contractors processing Federal Contract Information or Controlled Unclassified Information. Contractors must maintain current CMMC status, complete annual affirmations of continuous compliance, ensure subcontractor compliance, and submit CMMC UIDs to the Contracting Officer. Other incorporated clauses address illegal or improper activity, prohibition on inverted domestic corporations, combating trafficking in persons, employment eligibility verification, text messaging while driving policies, foreign procurement taxes, and accelerated payments to small business subcontractors. Two attachments (Sections L and M dated 3 April 2026) were updated to reflect these changes.
