1. Description of Services

1.1 The 309th SMXS MXDPF currently holds contract number FA8222-12-D-0013, utilizing a DESP III contract vehicle. Under open competition, KIHOMAC was awarded the WINDS replacement contract (FA8222-12-D-0013). The program and contractor have been successful through the Installation Readiness Review (IRR) milestone. On June 18, 2018 a manufacturing defect was discovered during integration of power supplies that were specified at WINDS Critical Design Review (CDR). It will take the power supply manufacturer several months to provide an analysis and resolution of the failure. Meanwhile, Test Readiness Review (TRR), Developmental Test & Evaluation (DT&E) and Functional and Physical Configuration Audit (FCA/PCA) milestones remain to complete the program. All DESP III contract POPs are mandated to terminate NLT 10 Jan, 2019. Due to the power supply issue, there will not be sufficient time for the contractor to complete all milestones/CDRLS and closeout the DESP III contract.

1.2 WINDS mission is to provide 24‐hours‐a‐day, 7‐days‐a‐week data collection to the Eastern Range (ER) operators and users. This data allows the AF and its launch customers to successfully complete their missions under a variety of weather conditions at the CCAFS (Cape Canaveral Air Force Station) and KSC (Kennedy Space Center). To support this requirement, the WINDS replacement is developing side by side with the existing WINDS system. A follow on contract is required for new sensors to be moved to the existing location; otherwise, the system is unusable with the current configuration.

This service is a bridge contract for the existing contractor (KIHOMAC) to continue and complete the current DESP III FA8222-12-D-0013 contract and follow on work.

2. Scope

Sections 2.1 to 2.4 to continue the current the DESP III contract.
