About this opportunity
The United States Space Force, specifically the Directorate of Space Analysis (SF/S9), is conducting market research to identify potential sources for Analysis Support services through a Request for Information (RFI). The procurement seeks contractors capable of providing analytical and decision support services across multiple objectives, including acquisition tradespace tool implementation, tool maturation, and acquisition analysis and experimentation. Respondents must submit a capability statement addressing their technical approach, past performance, and timeline for obtaining required skill sets, with submissions limited to 15 pages. The government will use a full trade-off evaluation method, considering both technical capabilities and past performance, which allows trading price for superior technical solutions. Responses are due by February 14, 2025, and must include the company's CAGE code, Unique Entity ID, and Size Standard.
The pre-solicitation notice indicates no specific set-aside for this opportunity, and an IDIQ contract was previously awarded under SBIR A17-107 Phase III with current ongoing work. The contract will have a 48-month performance period beginning February 1, 2025, with a primary performance location in Washington DC and potential travel to sites like Wright Patterson AFB and Colorado Springs. The work requires a SECRET facility clearance, with some positions needing TS/SCI access, and will involve supporting USSF Headquarters and Field Command staff with various analytical services. While no specific budget range is provided, the government seeks industry feedback on the acquisition approach and the potential pros and cons of the proposed strategy. Contractors will be expected to deliver monthly status reports, technical documentation, and program reviews, with an initial Project Plan due within 30 calendar days of the task order start date.
