About this opportunity
The Department of the Air Force Space and Missile Systems Center is conducting a sources-sought market research effort to identify qualified contractors for Defense Meteorological Satellite Program (DMSP) sensor support, with capability statements due October 14, 2026. This is a sources-sought notice only; no solicitation, unsolicited proposals, or contract awards will result from this notice.
All work requires SECRET-level facility and personnel clearances. The DMSP, operated by United States Space Force Combat Forces Command, Mission Delta 4, and the 4th Sustainment Squadron at Peterson Space Force Base, Colorado, is projected to continue operations through September 2028.
The scope encompasses ten primary capability areas: data processing and analysis (ingestion, de-commutation, de-interleaving, and geolocation of raw sensor data); product generation from Operational Linescan System and Special Sensor Microwave Imager/Sounder data; instrument calibration and validation; data archiving and stewardship; technical support for sensor performance analysis; transition and decommissioning support including cross-calibration with replacement systems; logistics and warehousing for aging sensor components; integration lab support for hardware-in-the-loop environments; technical data management and training; and associate contractor coordination with the DMSP Spacecraft Sustainment contractor through Associate Contractor Agreements.
Capability statements must not exceed 15 pages and must address company information, corporate experience with satellite systems and classified work, specific technical capabilities, cross-contractor integration experience, and at least two past performance examples from the preceding five years with contract numbers and customer points of contact. Submit to Darren Fullo, Contracting Officer, at darren.fullo@spaceforce.mil. NAICS 541330 (Engineering Services); PSC R425.
