The 45th Contracting Squadron (45 CONS), Patrick Space Force Base, Florida is contemplating an extension to the FA8806-15-C-0001, Launch and Test Range System (LTRS) Integrated Support Contract (LISC), hereafter referred to as LISC which expires on 30 September 2024.  Because of the criticality of LISC mission support, the magnitude of its scope, the number of required personnel, and the acquisition lead time to complete an interim solution, extending LISC is being considered as a viable solution.  The purpose of this notice is to identify qualified sources fully capable of providing services for the period between the expiration of the current contract and award of the follow-on contract.  

Specifically, the purpose of the extension would be to ensure critical launch support for the Space Launch Delta (SLD) 45 (Eastern Range) and SLD 30 (Western Range) are uninterrupted throughout the Source Selection and Phase-in processes of the Space Force Range Contract (SFRC), the follow-on to LISC.  More specifically, should any unforeseen delay(s) occur during these processes, the extension(s) would assure that qualified, experienced, and trained launch crews are available to meet both Range launch schedules, demands, and if required execute proper protocols for launch anomalies and scrubs without “train up” and with minimum risk to Mission Space assets.  Reference the attached LISC Extension Performance Work Statement (PWS) for required services.

Any responsible firm that believes it can meet these requirements may give written notification to the Contracting Officer within 15 calendar days from the date of publication of this synopsis.  Only viable information and/or capabilities that clearly and convincingly provide evidence that the firm is capable of meeting the extension PWS requirements should submit packages for review and consideration.  Information received will be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement, however a determination by the Government not to compete the proposed procurement based upon responses to this notice or other factors is solely within the discretion of the Government.

Electronic responses must be submitted via email to the Government point of contacts listed below.
