- Description
- The Defense Support Program Office intends to issue a follow-on contract to the current DSP Post Production Services Contracts (PPSCs) to provide factory and operations site(s) support and sustainment to the on-orbit DSP satellite constellation. The DSP mission uses highly technical non-imaging infrared and other sensors to detect ballistic missile launches, space launches, endoatmospheric and exoatmospheric nuclear detonations, and reports them to US and allied forces and assets deployed worldwide through the Integrated Tactical Warning and Assessment (ITWAA) configuration control processes. The follow on contract will provide the following support: (1) Technical support to operational missile warning on-orbit constellation satellites, trending analysis, performance and data archive, as well as the training of new personnel; (2) Spaced based non-imaging infrared mission performance assessment for real-time mission support and infrared event data analysis; (3) Operational satellite and payload anomaly support to include root cause determination and implementation of corrective actions; (4) Contractor facility supporting on-orbit operations; (5) Program support including management of contractor team and contract/business operations segment to track financial issues and deliverables; (6) Capability to develop software tools and implement command plans; and (7) Support at various government sites. In addition, the government will continue efforts currently on the PPSCs as follows: (1) rapid prototyping of data processing enhancements that maximize the utility of DSP data and maintain mission capability of aging assets; and (2) mission processor initiatives. The sole source RFP for the new contract, called the DSP On-Orbit Support and Sustainment Contract (DOSSC), will be released in May 2008 with contract award in September 2008 (see Numbered Note 22). The contract type will be cost-plus-award-fee and cost-plus-fixed-fee. The period of performance will be for one base year and four one year options (FY09 - FY13). The intended contractor is Northrop Grumman Space Technology, One Space Park, Redondo Beach, CA 90278. The DSP Program Office has contracted with NGST over the last 30 years for these services and the contractor possesses all of the required data necessary to provide sustainment and support of the DSP constellation described above. NGST has the capability to fulfill this contract without the DSP Program Office having to expend significant funds on another contractor to reach the equivalent capability. Contractors interested in subcontracting opportunities should contact NGST directly. The NAICS code is 541712 (size standard: 1,000 employees).
