Program Summary

• Orbital/Suborbital Program-3 (OSP-3) vs Orbital Services Program-4 (OSP-4)

• OSP-4

– Provides small launch services to USG agencies

– Nine-year ordering period with each mission being a separate FFP Task Order

– Program will support approx. 20 missions

– Low barrier to entry to establish vendor pool of both small and large business

• Qualifying Offerors will receive the Launch Service User Guide (LSUG) Task Order as the minimum award

• Flexible on-ramp process to add emerging providers as their capabilities mature

• Task Order competition will use more restrictive evaluation factors

– Utilize FAR Part 16.5 – Indefinite Delivery Contracts to streamline contract execution

• Provides Contract Officer (CO) with broad discretion and flexibility

• Relief from Mandatory Source Selection Procedures, EZ Source Tool, and other contractual requirements

• Q1. What is distinctive about the Orbital Services Program-4 (OSP-4) contract?

– A1. The Orbital Services Program-4 (OSP-4) contract is a multiple award contract Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (MAC IDIQ), which allows pre-selected commercial providers to compete for subsequent orbital mission task orders. The IDIQ contract provides a streamlined approach for acquiring launch within 12 -24 months of contract award.

• Q2: What is the difference between Rocket System Launch Program (RSLP) and National Security Space Launch (NSSL)?

– A2: RSLP and NSSL, formerly known as Evolved Expendable Launch Vehicle (EELV), are the two programs under the SMC Launch

Enterprise. RSLP complements NSSL by delivering small launch and targets for a broad range of missions and customers. RSLP launches do not require the NSSL certification process.

• Q3: What is the role of Aerospace Corporation?

– A3: Aerospace Corporation is a Federally Funded Research and Development Center (FFRDC) support SMC with Subject Matter

Experts (SME) and interfaces between the SV and LV communities. In addition, due to their extensive knowledge, Aerospace can participate in the source selection process as advisors.

• Q4: Is OSP-4 a commercial acquisition and how was this analysis done?

– A4: Yes, OSP-4 will be a commercial acquisition under FAR Part 12. However, independent Government Mission Assurance is not a commercial item, so some contract clauses will be tailored similar to the EELV Phase 1A contract.

• Q5: Do you think some missions may not require prior flight experience?

– A5: Yes, some missions may not require prior flight experience, but may also have higher MA levels to offset risk. This information, flight experience and MA level, will be identified in the FOPR and MRD.

• Q6: Does the Government review a contractor’s stability, financial viability, and risk tolerance?

– A6: Yes, the risk assessments will be conducted and will be reviewed by factors in accordance with FAR Part 9.

• Q7: OSP-4 GFP, do we need pre-approvals for each missions?

– A7: Yes, in order to propose use of GFP other than GFP identified in the solicitation as available for use, pre-approval letter from the cognizant PCO or Program Office is needed.

• Q8: Will any of the missions be a small business set-aside?

– A8: Market Research does not support a small business set-aside at this time. As of today, there are not two or more small business capable of meeting anticipated OSP-4 mission requirements. The Government will reevaluate this periodically.

• Q9: Will each mission have a different small business subcontracting goal?

– A9: No, 5% or better of the total contract value must be allocated to small business for each task order. Small business primes can take credit for their performance.
