J -- SPACE TEST AND EVALUATION SUPPORT (STES) EXTENSION POC Contact Mrs Mary F. Wendt, Contract Negotiator or Mr. Edward Garcia, Contracting Officer, (408) 752-4292, Fax (408) 752-4158. This notice is issued in advance of a Request for Proposal (RFP) for the purpose of identifying sources that may be capable of providing the required services and that are interested in competing for the Space Test and Evaluation support (STES) Extension contract. The Air Force proposes to contract for operations, maintenance, training, and logistics support for specialized computer systems and facilities located a Detachment 2, Space and Missile Systems Center (Det 2, SMC), Onizuka Air Station (OAS), Sunnyvale, California. In addition, the Air Force will require operations, maintenance, logistics and mission test support services for the worldwide employment of Det 2, SMC deployable systems. Det 2 SMC will be relocation to Kirtland Air Force Base (KAFB), Albuquerque, New Mexico. This relocation will require the deinstallation of the existing infrastructure at OAS, packing, handling, and transportation to KAFB, site preparation, installation, checkout and turn-over of said infrastructure at KAFB, and disposal and clean-up at OAS. The estimated period of performance of the proposed contract is anticipated to be a 12 month basic effort commencing 01 October 1995, followed by a one year option to be exercised in monthly increments. It should be noted that the effort of the STES Extension will decrease over the basic period as the infrastructure is relocated to KAFB. The Air Force also will require sustainment services at KAFB commencing 1 October 1995 at KAFB.
