- Description
- RSLP MA Requirements, Description of Work Statement of Capabilities Guidelines The Air Force Space and Missile Systems Center (SMC), Launch Systems Enterprise Directorate (LE), Experimental Launch and Test Division (LEX), Rocket Systems Launch Program (RSLP), Kirtland AFB, Albuquerque, NM is interested in obtaining capability statements demonstrating industry's ability to meet Excess Ballistic Missile (XBM) motor sustainment and independent verification, and validation (IV&V) mission assurance requirements for launch vehicles based on XBM and commercial propulsion systems. RSLP provides XBM motor storage, maintenance, and logistics support, and utilizes XBM motors and commercial launch vehicles to provide launch services, payload integration, and mission planning for Government customers. The RSLP Mission Assurance (MA) contract will procure MA support for Peacekeeper (PK)/Minuteman (MM) based launch vehicles, and commercial liquid engines and solid motor based rocket systems using Government certified and Federal Aviation Administration licensed launches. The objective of the MA process is to identify and mitigate design, production, and test deficiencies that could impact mission success for orbital and suborbital launch services. MA is defined as an integrated engineering-level assessment of analysis, production, verification, validation, operation, maintenance, and problem resolution process performed over the lifecycle of a launch system, from mission conception to space vehicle separation in the required orbit, including collision avoidance and de-orbit maneuver(s), as required. MA services include, but are not limited to, technical, engineering, and analytical services, quick response research, mission assurance, and special studies to support launch vehicle acquisition, launch mission planning, the launch campaign process, and post-flight reporting for suborbital and orbital RSLP missions. The current Launch Services Mission Assurance contract with incumbent, Arctic Slope Regional Corporation (ASRC) Federal Space and Defense (AS&D), expires on 13 December, 2019. The RSLP MA contract period is anticipated to be up to seven years from contract award, covering the notional mission forecast shown below. Each mission comprises an 18 to 24 month mission assurance effort from award to launch, and is anticipated to require 10 to 15 person years per mission.
