About this file
This document appears to be a set of Questions and Answers (Q&A) related to the STAR FISH solicitation Call 013 for the Oracle-Prime program. The key details are:
This is a new federal contract requirement, not an incumbent contract. The solicitation is for Space Situational Awareness (SSA) capabilities in the cislunar domain (between the Earth and Moon) to support freedom of navigation, lunar missions, and search and rescue. The Oracle-Prime spacecraft will operate at the Earth-Moon L1 Lagrange point to track objects in cislunar space. The white papers are limited to 6 pages total, with all documents to be submitted together rather than as separate attachments. Sensor specifications are controlled as Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) with restrictions on foreign disclosure. This solicitation is part of the broader Oracle-Prime program and is not a replacement for the prior CHPS program. No in-person meetings will be held to discuss the Statement of Objectives at this time.

| Questions | Government Response |
| We would like to know if this is a brand new contract OR if there is (was) an incumbent performing these services. | The Oracle-P Program is leveraging this STAR FISH solicitation to maintain flexibility to ensure the government is moving forward in the best direction for cislunar SSA. |
| If not brand new, could you please provide the current / previous contract number? | This is a new requirement. |
| Can you provide clarification on the page limitations for the White Papers? The Announcement Overview states the "completed document must be no more than six total pages". However, it also states that this limitation is for Parts 1-3. Are Part 4 (Project Plan) and Part 5 (Value/Cost) expected to be submitted as separate documents or attachments? | The instructions in the white paper template supersedes all other instructions (I.E. should not exceed more than 6 pages total). All documents should be included together and not as separate attachments. |
| We are evaluating a potential solution that leverages a non-U.S. vendor for the primary sensor. Can you provide a Security Classification Guide (SCG) or appropriate contact for foreign disclosure, so that we can understand and/or coordinate authorized communication with the vendor regarding stated specifications? | Sensor specifications are held to CUI, Distribution D with review for release to other government agencies. Additionally, Defense contractors desiring to release unclassified information controlled by ITAR to a foreign government, foreign contractor, or representative thereof must request an export license from the Department of State, Office of Defense Trade Control. |
| Also, XX was a contributor on a proposal from XX for a similar effort, CHPS. Is Call 013 a replacement for that program, or is this a complementary effort? | The Oracle-P Program is leveraging this STAR FISH solicitation to maintain flexibility to ensure the government is moving forward in the best direction for cislunar SSA. |
| We have a few questions about the SOO; may we schedule a meeting with you/your team? | Please refer to the CALL 013 Documents and Description regarding questions. At this time, meetings are not being considered. |
