The Department of the Air Force Space Command is conducting market research through this pre-solicitation notice for the Launch Operations Support Contract (LOSC), which seeks qualified contractors to provide comprehensive maintenance, repair, modification, and modernization services for aging facilities, property, and infrastructure-related support equipment at Vandenberg Space Force Base and associated sites in California. The contract encompasses standard facility systems including HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and fire protection, as well as specialized services such as pressure vessel certification, crane and hoist operations, elevator certification, and robust corrosion control programs. Key qualifications require contractors to demonstrate capability in managing complex facility support programs, executing IDIQ contracts, and supporting time-sensitive launch operations including generator operations and emergency repairs during countdowns. The government will utilize a single-award IDIQ contract structure and plans to evaluate responses based on demonstrated experience with similar government and commercial contracts, financial management capabilities, work order management systems compatibility with IBM TRIRIGA, and subcontracting arrangements. Interested parties must submit a capability statement and detailed responses to the sources sought questionnaire by 1600 PST on January 26, 2026, limited to five pages total, including company information, DUNS and SAM registration numbers, and relevant contract history with points of contact.
This procurement is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside under NAICS code 561210 with a $47 million small business size standard, indicating the government's prioritization of small business participation.

No incumbent contractor or current award value has been identified in this pre-solicitation notice, as this is a market research phase preceding formal solicitation. The contemplated contract value and specific award amount will likely be determined following this sources sought process and subsequent formal solicitation.
