About this file

This document is an announcement for an Industry Day event hosted by the Space Systems Command (SSC) for the National Security Space Launch (NSSL) Phase 3 Lane 1 acquisition. The purpose is to provide details and timelines for on-ramping additional Launch Service Providers (LSPs) to the Lane 1 Indefinite-Delivery Indefinite-Quantity (IDIQ) contract and the upcoming Launch Service Task Orders (LSTOs) that will be competed among the IDIQ contract holders. The Phase 3 Lane 1 approach provides assured access to space through multiple award IDIQ contracts with a 5-year ordering period and a 5-year option. The event will include a general session, a classified National Reconnaissance Office (NRO) briefing, and one-on-one sessions with interested companies. Registration is required by July 26, 2024, with limits on in-person attendance. The government will not pay for any costs associated with attending the event.

NSSL Overview Lt Col Douglas Downs

Materiel Leader, Mission Procurement Branch

National Security Space Launch Phase 3 Strategy

• Secures capacity for all NSSL missions

• Provides consistent demand, gain economic order quantities

• Accounts for manifest flexibility

• Ensures capability for hard missions

• Provides annual opportunities for systems in development to on-ramp when ready

• Provides additional resiliency through new launch systems

Dual Lane Advantages

• Must meet all NSSL requirements

• Certification flights and associated analysis complete before missions are assigned

• Preference for Offerors who demonstrate readiness prior to OY3, or are already launching

• No on-ramps until after FY29 (end of Phase 3 ordering period)

• Need only meet a subset of NSSL requirements

• Can use multiple launches to meet 15,000 lbm to LEO

• 1 successful launch before Task Order award

• Annual for new launch provider or system

Upfront Commitment

“We must continue to outpace our adversaries and maintain the technological advantage we get as a nation by making our space architecture more resilient so it can be counted on during times of crisis and conflict. This is the essence behind the NSSL Phase

3 acquisition strategy.” -Honorable Frank Calvelli, Assistant Secretary of the Air Force for Space Acquisition and Integration

• Bidders with new programs not approved for CCSFS should contact SLD 45/XP ASAP for initial discussions and need to submit a Program Introduction (PI).

• Bidders with significant changes to a previously approved PI i.e.

adding a new launch vehicle, increasing vehicle capability, launch site modification, etc. should not assume SLD 45 approval and continued use of that property for purposes other than the initial approved use. Significant changes should be submitted to

SLD 45/XP ASAP.

• Bidders should not assume additional facility or land requests to support program being bid will be approved. Any new request will need to be submitted to 45 CES.

Commercial Space Activity Support

• Bidders with existing real property agreements should not assume SLD 45 approval and continued use of that property for purposes other than the initial approved use.

• Change of use of facilities or space must be approved by the SLD 45 and the Facilities Utilization Board (FUB) through procedures set forth by SLD 45.

• Bidders should not assume that current real property agreements can be extended or renewed, past the current term expiration, for other than the initial approved use.
