VDOPS/VSS services (Vector Scoring Systems Services)

Air Combat Command, Acquisition Management and Integration Center (ACC AMIC), Langley AFB, VA is in the process of determining the acquisition strategy for a potential reprocurement for Vector Doppler Scoring/Vector Scoring System (VDOPS/VSS) services in support of the Aerial Targets Program at Tyndall AFB, FL and Holloman AFB, NM. VDOPS/VSS services provide endgame missile scoring data reports generated from onboard QF-16 and BQM-167 aerial target platforms sent to a Ground Station Unit (GSU), program management, operation/field maintenance for GSUs and associated system test equipment, engineering support, and equipment lifecycle management. Additionally, these services will provide depot-level support for Aerial Gunnery Target Sets (AGTS) and associated equipment.
The VDOPS/VSS is comprised of hardware and proprietary software used to generate the endgame missile scoring data report(s) during live-fire test events. The Government does not own the proprietary technical data software package for the VDOPS/VSS system and its peculiar support equipment and therefore cannot provide this data to interested parties.
The period of performance is expected to be one base year starting 1 Jan 2019 and five 12-month option years plus a 6-month extension which may be exercised if required.
