About this opportunity
The Department of the Air Force Space Command is seeking to procure a 16" aperture, 200" focal length ruggedized RC (Ritchey-Chretien) telescope and relay optic system for Vandenberg Space Force Base in California. The solicitation (FA461025Q0018) is structured as a Firm Fixed Price contract with Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) evaluation criteria. Potential contractors must submit a comprehensive proposal package including a one-page cover letter, a 20-page technical approach demonstrating how their product meets salient characteristics, and a one-page price proposal. Technical evaluations will be rated as either Acceptable or Unacceptable, with award anticipated without further negotiations. Quotations are due by May 6, 2025 at 2:00 PM PT, with a deadline for questions set at March 6, 2025 at 10:00 AM PT. The government anticipates a 14-month delivery period for the completed system.
The solicitation is designated as a 100% small business set-aside under NAICS code 334511, with a small business size standard of $16 million. Potential offerors must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) and Wide Area Work Flow. The contract requires delivery of the telescope and relay optic system within 14 months of award, to be located in Lompoc, California. No specific incumbent contractor is mentioned, and current funding is not available, with the government reserving the right to cancel the solicitation if funds are not secured. Offerors' quotations must remain valid for 60 days after the closing date, and the government intends to award to a single contractor based on the most advantageous proposal meeting both technical and price requirements.
