The procurement will be managed by SSC/SZK-IK and involves professional advisory and assistance services for Major Defense Acquisition Programs under the Space Combat Power Program Executive Officer's portfolio. Performance will occur across multiple locations including Los Angeles AFB, Peterson AFB, Schriever AFB, Kirtland AFB, and facilities in Los Angeles and Huntsville. The contract falls under NAICS code 541715 for research and development services in physical and engineering sciences.
The primary purpose of this sole source action is to provide additional financial management support for Major Defense Acquisition Programs, justified under FAR 6.302-1 as only one responsible source can satisfy the agency's requirements. The services encompass cost estimating and analysis support, financial reconciliation, PPBE analysis support, and earned value management for space systems programs. Interested parties may submit capability statements by August 25, 2025, though this notice explicitly states it is not a request for competitive proposals. All responsible sources are eligible to submit capability statements for agency consideration, despite the sole source intent.
