L -- THE DEFENSE SUPPORT PROGRAM (DSP) POST-PRODUCTION ACTIVITIES CONTRACT CONSOLIDATION SOL F04701-96-R-0009/10 DUE 052996 POC Contact Points: Capt Betty Bennett, Project Officer, (310)363-5756, and Ms. Lorraine Wilson, Buyer, (310)363-3585. The Space and Missile Systems Center intends to negotiate on other than full and open competition basis, pursuant to 10 U.S.C. 2304 (c) (i), with TRW, Inc., One Space Park Dr., Redondo Beach, CA 90278 for Defense Support Program (DSP) spacecraft post-production effort, pursuant to RFP no. F04701-96-R-0009 and with Aerojet Electronic Systems Plant, 1100 W. Hollydale St., Azusa, CA, 91702, for DSP sensor post production efforts pursuant to RFP no. F04701-96-R-0010. The DSP spacecraft and sensor post production effort will be consolidated from six existing contracts into two new contracts, one with TRW, Inc. and one with Aerojet Inc. This consolidation will also include new and additional work described herein. The contracts will commence 01 Oct 96 and continue through 30 Sep 97 with four (4) Priced One Year Options and a Special Provision to extend the Period of Performance through launch of all DSP satellites. The anticipated contract type will be Cost Plus Award Fee/Level of Effort with a Special Contract Provision to unilaterally increase the purchased quantity by 100 percent. The Contractors will be required to perform all post-production activities of the DSP from storage of six satellites through launch operations, early on-orbit testing and on-orbit support services, and shall have Total System Performance Responsibility. The requirement consists of the following: Storage and Storage Support of a maximum at any given time of five (5) DSP Satellites in accordance with satellite environmental requirements, annual testing of stored satellites, Trend Analysis, Integration Returns (repair and return failed/obsolete component parts (selected sensors will require Thermal/Vacuum retest on the sensor contract only)) perform safety analysis, loads analysis, maintain all launch vehicle and launch site interface documentation, meet all launch site safety requirements, perform multiple Readiness Reviews and Rehearsals, test and prepare satellite for the launch site, perform launch vehicle integration, perform multiple integrated systems tests, sustaining engineering of the on-orbit satellites (multiple block build), early on orbit testing support for newly launched satellites, anomaly resolution, and flight operations support for the DSP constellation, operational performance analysis for performance assessment, mission performance improvement, including recommendations for retrofitting and retrofitting of satellites in storage, data analysis for assessing state of health through software development, testing, installation and tuning, and real-time on-orbit operations support and maintenance including upgrades, if required to support operational satellites, of an orbital test facility and associated hardware/software. Consolidated effort will also include repair of discrepant GFE and other Non-Integration Returns Hardware. The Government intends to release the solicitation on or about 29 Apr 96. See Note 22. All responsible sources may submit an offer which will be considered. (0102)
