- Responses to SRP-4 Industry Day Questions Copy of Industry Day Briefing; briefing held March 2016. ***UPDATE: Responses to Industry Day Questions This notice serves to provide potential offerors additional information in support of the SRP-4 Industry Day that was held on 1-2 March 2016 in Albuquerque, NM. The SRP-4 briefing slides presented at the general Industry Day session and the Government's response to industry's one-on-one session questions are now available. The Government's response to questions on the draft SRP-4 Performance-based Work Statement and Sections L and M are also posted. All responses to questions provided in this announcement are based on the best information available at the time. The updated Small Rocket Program (SRP) acquisition strategy is approved. These responses are for information only. Final requirements will be included in the RFP. The Industry Day was well attended and the industry feedback provided has driven a number of strategy updates. The initial draft acquisition strategy combined suborbital and orbital efforts into multiple award Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contracts that did not include Firm Fixed Price (FFP) as a contract type option. The updated SRP draft acquisition strategy utilizes multiple award IDIQ contracts for suborbital missions and individual contracts for orbital missions (orbital missions will be competed as mission needs arise). Additionally, depending on mission requirements, FFP contracts may be used. The suborbital IDIQ contract is now referred to as the Sounding Rocket Program-4 (SRP-4), the follow on to the Sounding Rocket Program-3 contract. The combination of suborbital and orbital contracts is encompassed in the draft Small Rocket Program (SRP) Acquisition Strategy. The SRP Bidder's Library is now accessible to interested parties by request only. The library provides a collection of relevant program guidance and reference documents not generally available on a public basis, to which offerors may need access in order to develop high quality proposals. Parties interested in accessing the SRP Bidder's Library should send their requests to the email addresses below. The requests should include: company name and Commercial and Government Entity (CAGE) code; and email and phone number for the company's point-of-contact.

Submit all inquiries and responses to Ms. Alicia Cawley at alicia.cawley@us.af.mil and Ms. Angelita Corral at lucia.corral@us.af.mil. The information contained herein is based on the best information available at the time of publication, is subject to revision, and is not binding on the Government. The Government will not recognize any costs associated with submission of information in response to this notice. NAICS 336414, size standard 1,250 employees applies for this proposed acquisition. ***Update: Additional Information- Draft Sections L&M for Comment*** This notice serves to provide additional information in support of the recently announced Small Rocket Program-4 (SRP-4) Industry Day, scheduled for 1 - 2 March 2016, in Albuquerque, NM.
