About this opportunity
The U.S. Air Force Space Command is seeking to procure sustainment services for the MARK IV-B meteorological data processing system through a sole source contract with Lockheed Martin. The MARK IV-B ingests and processes meteorological data from domestic and foreign satellites, making it available to military, university, and scientific users worldwide. This contract will utilize a mix of contract types including firm-fixed-price, cost-plus-fixed-fee, and cost-reimbursable. The government intends to release the solicitation on or about November 4, 2024, with an estimated contract award date of January 31, 2025.
This procurement does not have a small business set-aside. Lockheed Martin is the anticipated sole source contractor for this requirement. While no specific award value or budget range is provided, the MARK IV-B sustainment services are a critical capability supporting military, research, and scientific communities globally. The government has designated the Space Systems Command Ombudsman as the point of contact for vendor inquiries and concerns related to this procurement.
