- Description
- This is a SPECIAL NOTICE for information purposes issued by the Launch Systems Directorate (LR) at the Space and Missile Systems Center (SMC). The United States Air Force (USAF) is seeking to inform potential domestic providers of space launch services for Department of Defense (DoD) National Security Space (NSS) missions on EELV-class launch vehicles. SYNOPSIS: PURPOSE The purpose of this SPECIAL NOTICE is to inform and receive input from domestic launch service providers about recent updates to EELV requirements documentation, namely the System Performance Requirements Document (SPRD) and Standard Interface Specification (SIS). The SPRD applies to each EELV-class launch system and now reflects MIL-HDBK-520A format for a System Requirement Document (SRD) as required by AFI 63-101. The SIS defines the standard interface between the payload and the EELV system and standardizes equipment, processes and services among all launch providers. SPRD reviews should focus on the following update objectives: 1) Updated to reflect vertical integration requirement 2) Updated to reflect known changes to EELV requirements 3) Revalidated requirements traceability to Operational Requirements Document (ORD) II 4) Reformatted to comply with MIL-HDBK-520A The updated and approved SIS Revision B is also available for launch providers. Interested domestic launch service providers that have previously submitted a Statement of Intent (SOI) for EELV-class Certification IAW New Entrant Certification Guide (NECG) guidance or current EELV-class launch provider for the Launch Systems Directorate may request a copy of the SIS and SPRD for review by contacting the POCs below. Small business concerns meeting this criterion are encouraged to respond. Comments are due back to the USAF by 6 pm Pacific time 7 March 2014. This SPECIAL NOTICE is issued solely for information and planning purposes. It does not constitute a solicitation (Request for Proposal or Request for Quotations) or a promise to issue a solicitation in the future. As stipulated in FAR 15.201(e), responses to this notice are not considered offers, shall not be used as a proposal, and cannot be accepted by the Government to form a binding contract. Respondents' input provided may be taken into consideration for the subsequent versions of the SIS and SPRD. This SPECIAL NOTICE does not commit the Government to contract for any supply or service whatsoever. Furthermore, we are not seeking proposals at this time. Respondents are advised that the Government will not pay for any information or administrative costs incurred in response to this SPECIAL NOTICE. All costs associated with responding to this SPECIAL NOTICE will be solely at the responding party's expense. Primary Technical Point of Contact: Captain Lee A.
