- Description
- **THIS NOTICE IS HEREBY CANCELLED** The Launch Test Squadron (LTS), 3548 Aberdeen Ave SE Bldg. 415, Kirtland AFB 87117 anticipates the issuance of a period of performance extension for the Responsive Small Spacelift (RSS) contracts FA8818-05-D-0006 and FA8818-05-D-0007. In accordance with FAR 6.302-1(a)(2)(iii) these Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contracts to Orbital Sciences Corporation and Space Exploration Technologies shall be extended from 18 April 2010 until 31 June 2011. As a result of market research and responses to the Sources Sought Notice issued 28 Jan 04, it is anticipated these two sources are the only vendors capable of providing the required small spacelift support and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements under the authority of FAR 6.302-1. The ordering period of the contracts will be extended from 18 April 2010 to 31 June 2011, in order to provide sufficient time to recompete the effort. The purpose of this synopsis is to ensure no new contractors are capable of fulfilling Government requirements during the ordering period extension, prior to the recompetition. Once approved, a Class J&A authorizing the period of performance extension will be posted to FBO. The purpose of the RSS program is to provide capability to deliver small satellites to low to medium earth orbit using commercial launch vehicles. Interested vendors should contact the above mentioned contractors for sub-contracting possibilities. This synopsis is for information and planning purposes only. It does not constitute an RFP and is not to be construed as a commitment by the Government. The Government will not reimburse respondents for the cost of submitting information in response to this notice. Questions pertaining to this announcement shall be directed to Matthew Jeffery, Contract Specialist, SMC SDTW/PKN at (505) 853-3963, email matthew.jeffery@kirtland.af.mil, (fax (505) 846-6387). An ombudsman has been appointed to address concerns from interested vendors. The ombudsman does not diminish the authority of the program director or contracting officer, but communicates contractor concerns, issues, disagreements, and recommendations to the appropriate government personnel. When requested, the ombudsman shall maintain strict confidentiality as to the source of the concern. The ombudsman does not participate in the evaluation of proposals or in the source selection process. Interested parties are invited to call the ombudsman SMC/DS Col David A. Sutton at (310) 653-2481. Note 22 applies.
