MARKET SURVEY

Space Delta 6 Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility (SCIF) Availability Support

Introduction The Space Acquisition and Integration Office (SAIO) is seeking information from interested entities to determine availability of SCIF space with functional Joint Worldwide Intelligence Communications System (JWICS) access within a 10-mile radius of the 80920 zip code (northern Colorado Springs, CO). SAIO’s Mission Partner, Space Delta 6 (Del 6) is actively working to both defend the cyber terrain enabling space dominance and extend/secure national interests through the cyber domain. As DEL 6 on-net Cyber Operators meet near-peer/nation state adversaries threatening our Space, Launch, and C2 systems, they define, build, and validate the value for building organizations, technical capabilities, and the digital Cyberspace Operations workforce to meet the requirements of the Joint warfighting community.

This notice DOES NOT constitute a Request for Proposal (RFP), Request for Quotation (RFQ), Invitation for Bid (IFB), nor does it represent any commitment by the Government. This Request for Information (RFI) is part of ongoing Government conducted market research for planning purposes and to request industry PWS and Service Catalog feedback along with industry capability. A solicitation is not being issued at this time and this notice shall not be construed as a commitment by the Government to issue a solicitation. The Government will not provide reimbursement for costs associated with this request.

Any information provided by industry to the Government as a result of this RFI is strictly voluntary; responses will not be returned. The information obtained from industry’s responses to this notice may be used in the development of an acquisition strategy and a future RFP.

Purpose Del 6 personnel require intermittent (2-3 times per week) access to SCIF space with active JWICS access to facilitate classified communications via JWICS and conduct classified business consistent with Del 6’s mission. Responses to this RFI will provide the Government with knowledge of industry interest, qualifications, and opportunities. Responses will also help the Government with conducting market research as well as finalizing solicitation documents. This is only a request for information, and the type of solicitation may depend upon the responses received.
