Tools, Applications, and Processing (TAP) Laboratory and Overhead Persistent Infrared (OPIR) Battlespace Awareness Center (OBAC) Support Services (TLOSS)

The Space and Missile Systems Center (SMC) - Space Development (DC) seeks proposals from vendors capable of meeting the requirements described in this Request for Proposal (RFP) as the prime contractor. This notice seeks industry proposals on the attached RFP for the potential Government acquisition of the Tools, Applications, and Processing (TAP) Laboratory and Overhead Persistent Infrared (OPIR) Battlespace Awareness Center (OBAC) Support Services (TLOSS). This action is expected to result in a predominately Cost-Plus Fixed Fee (CPFF) contract and is being solicited as a Small Business set aside under 541715 Size Standard 1,250.  This RFP does not commit the Government to making an award.

The purpose of this acquisition is for a performance-based support services contract to stand up a government controlled and managed data exploitation Research, Development, Test and Evaluation (RDT&E) capability called the Tools Applications and Processing (TAP) Lab, currently under demonstration in Boulder Colorado.  The TAP Lab will provide an unrestricted RDT&E innovation environment for enhancing and/or developing new operational capabilities while also providing an environment accessible to other Department of Defense (DoD), Civil and Commercial Users to find new innovative uses of remote sensing data. The acquisition will also support the Overhead Persistent Infrared (OPIR) Battlespace Awareness Center (OBAC) co-located with the Space Based Infrared System (SBIRS) Mission Control Station located at Buckley AFB Colorado.  Capabilities, once verified under the Tab Lab for operational utility, will be promoted and integrated into the operational system at the OBAC which will be managed by the contractor.

An Industry Day site visit was previously held following the release of the Draft RFP.  As stated in the Draft RFP notice, that was the sole opportunity for interested parties to view the site.  The slides, company attendee list, submitted industry questions and responses to them are provided as informational attachments to this notice.  The RFP takes precedence over any responses to questions.
