- Description
- The Global Positioning Systems Wing (GPSW), GPS IIR Program, intends to award a sole-source, Cost Plus Fixed Fee (CPFF) contract for a base period of one year and seven one-year options to Lockheed Martin Space Systems Company. If all options are exercised, the period of performance would be from 1 January 2009 through 31 December 2016. This action will provide continued specialized engineering support and expertise to replace an expiring GPS IIR support contract. LMSSC, the current GPS IIR contractor, is considered the only responsible source that can provide the following supplies and services without the government incurring substantial duplication of cost that are not expected to be recovered through competition and/or unacceptable delays in fulfilling its requirements (10 USC 2304 (c) (l)). The GPS IIR Program is performing a market survey to determine if there are interested and qualified firms having the capability described below. On-Orbit Operations/Sustainment Support: Support for on-orbit operations will begin at contract award and continue through all option years. Support will include daily technical support, data evaluation and trending, anomaly resolution, flight software upload support, spacecraft processor software maintenance, payload software builds, operating support tools, act as Interface Control Contractor, provide on-orbit data collection, calculations and analysis, maintain engineering liaison support to anomaly resolution and related activities necessary to support orbital operations. Update command plans and the Orbital Operations Handbook after resolution of on-orbit anomalies to assure integrity of continuing SV operations. Maintain Mission Unique Software. Provision for operating the Operational Support System at Schriever AFB, CO and perform hardware and software maintenance, and security activities. Provide continuing support to the Operational Control Segment ensuring compatibility with the GPS IIR/IIR-M SVs. Ensure continuing Space Segment to Control Segment interface compliance, via review, analysis, implementation, test and documentation of technical changes and incompatibilities. Support Space Segment to Control Segment integration for all upgrade activities to either segment. Ensure command procedures and databases are maintained to support on-orbit operations. The estimated staff-hours for this sustainment function are 35,000 per year.

The following clarifications on Sources Sought Synopsis on FA8807-09-R-0001GPS IIR On-Orbit Operations/Sustainment Support Contract were requested. Answers appear below. This notice has been extended to 4 Feb 2008. 1) Q: Considering the sole source intention, is this contract a factory support contract for Level 2 satellite services? Or is it Level 1 work that can be performed by experienced satellite engineers not employed by the satellite manufacturer? A: The Terms Level 1 and Level 2 do not normally apply to this type of service. The contract will provide continued specialized engineering support and expertise to replace an expiring GPS IIR support contract. Please refer to the synopsis paragraph titled ?On-Orbit Operations/Sustainment Support:? for a more detailed description. 2) Q: Does the work require access to satellite manufacturer proprietary data? If so, is there a provision for completing NDAs with the manufacturer? A: Yes, the work would require access to such information. No, currently there is no provision for completing NDAs with the manufacturer. Under the IIR contract, the Government acquired Limited Rights to the following items of technical data: 1. Tank Vibration Data 2. Core Interface Chip (CIC) 3. Cross Trap Bus Interface (CBI) 4. Memory Error Unit (MEU) 5. GPS IIR Transfer Orbit Passive Nutation Damping Analysis 6. BGSE Hardware Design Information and Documentation and Software Documentation 7. L-Band Antenna Design 8. Waveform Generator Design Under the IIR contract, the Government acquired Restricted Rights to the following items of computer software: 1. BGSE Software (All Revisions) The IIR contract incorporated by reference DFARS 252.227-7013 Rights in Technical Data and Computer Software (OCT 1988)(DAC 88-2). That clause defines the terms Limited Rights and Restricted Rights as follows: (15)Limited Rights means rights to use, duplicate, or disclose technical data, in whole or in part, by or for the Government, with the express limitation that such technical data shall not, without the written permission of the party asserting limited rights, be: released or disclosed outside the Government; used by the Government for manufacture, or in the case of computer software documentation, for preparing the same or similar computer software; or used by a party other than the Government, except that the Government, or permit the use of technical data by such persons, if ? i. such release, disclosure, or use? a. is necessary for emergency repair and overhaul; or b. is a release or disclosure of technical data (other than detailed manufacturing or process data) to, or use of such data by, a foreign government that is in the interest of the Government and is required for evaluational purposes; ii. such release, disclosure, or use is made subject to a prohibition that the person to whom the data is released or disclosed may not further release, disclose or use such data; and iii. the contractor or subcontractor asserting the restriction is notified of such release, disclosure, or use.

A: This is related to the IIR and IIR-M satellites. 4) Q: How does this work differ from that being performed by the OSSS/NSOM contractor for the GPS mod at Schriever AFB? A: The only OSSS/NSOM work related to the IIR satellite sustainment is in the area of Orbital Analysis (OAs). All other support is provided by the SV manufacturer at this time. To clarify, the OSSS/NSOM contractor provides direct support for the 2/19 SOPS crews that operate the satellite.
