North American Defense Command Cheyenne Mountain Complex – Integrated Tactical Warning/Attack Assessment (NCMC – ITW/AA) System Operations (SysOps) Trainer

The United States Space Force (USSF), through Space Systems Command (SSC) at Peterson Space Force Base, is conducting market research to identify contractors capable of developing a System Operations (SysOps) Trainer for the North American Defense Command Cheyenne Mountain Complex Integrated Tactical Warning/Attack Assessment (NCMC-ITW/AA) system. The primary objective is to procure computer systems design services that will create a comprehensive training system replicating the operational environment for System Controller personnel at the Cheyenne Mountain Space Force Station. Interested contractors must demonstrate expertise in areas including VMWare integration, DevSecOps, virtual platform development, and technical training solutions that accurately replicate existing system interfaces. Responses to the sources sought announcement are due by June 3, 2025, with questions accepted until May 26, 2025. Contractors must submit their capabilities to Contracting Officer Ms. Sydney Dugal via email, limited to a 15-page PDF or Word document detailing their technical capabilities and experience with Department of Defense requirements.

The pre-solicitation notice indicates no specific set-aside for small businesses, though the NAICS code 541512 (Computer Systems Design Services) has a small business size standard of $34 million. The anticipated contract period is approximately 15 months, with the trainer to be developed and implemented at the Secret Level for use in training scenarios. While no specific award value is explicitly stated, the complexity of the project suggests a significant investment in creating a highly specialized training system that can emulate the CCIC2S mission system and support comprehensive operational training. The project will require contractors to develop technical documentation, provide on-site and over-the-shoulder training for operators and maintainers, and ensure compliance with multiple Department of Defense and Air Force technical specifications and security protocols. The ultimate goal is to create a robust training solution that supports the critical defense command infrastructure's operational readiness.
