About this opportunity
The Department of the Air Force Space Command Space and Missile Systems Center published this Special Notice as an update regarding the ROOSTER program. The Notice provides details on the agency's intent to release a two-step Broad Agency Announcement by mid-September seeking technical studies relating to flexible, multi-payload space vehicle platforms or other innovative concepts to improve platform flexibility and accommodate later payload integration for the ROOSTER program.
The Special Notice seeks proposals for technical studies on flexible, multi-payload space vehicle platforms or other concepts that would benefit experimental on-orbit infrastructure for the ROOSTER program. Interested contractors must submit a white paper with a rough order of magnitude cost estimate by September 11, 2020 to participate in the first step. In the second step, selected contractors will submit a technical proposal, statement of work, and detailed price estimate. The agency plans to award multiple fixed-price contracts totaling approximately $1.8 million by the end of 2020, covering initial 120-day study periods. Only study contracts are covered in this announcement, with a separate solicitation planned for 2021 for the primary ROOSTER system design.
Notice text
Update to ADDENDUM - ROOSTER (Formerly known as LDPE) Risk Reduction posted 20 July 2020.
The Government intends to release a BAA seeking proposals for technical studies relating to flexible, multi-payload (hosted and separable) space vehicle (SV) platforms, or any other innovative ideas that would benefit experimental on orbit infrastructure. Previous RFI’s provide additional information on the LDPE/ROOSTER system and mission concept and may be used as a point of departure. Platform designs need not be limited to ESPA-based systems, but should remain compatible with NSSL SPRD Rev B and SIS Rev C. In addition to system-level designs, new concepts are also sought for improving specific aspects of this type of platform/SV and the ROOSTER mission; for example, accommodate later payload integration, maximize launch flexibility, enhance on-orbit services, etc. This BAA will only cover studies; a separate RFP is expected to be released in CY21 for the primary ROOSTER system design and assembly.
The Government intends to issue a two-step BAA solicitation by mid-September. Step 1 will request white papers with not to exceed rough order of magnitude (ROM) and approximately 30 - 45 days will be allowed for interested vendors to respond. In Step 2, vendors will be selected to submit a technical proposal, statement of work, and detailed price estimate. The expected contract type for any BAA awards issued under this solicitation will be Firm-Fixed Price. Multiple contracts are anticipated to be awarded by end of CY20, intial total value of all awards will be approximately $1.8M and the periods of performance will be approximately 120 days.
