NOTICE OF INTENT TO SOLE SOURCE
\n\nGeneral Information
\n\nNotice Type: Special Notice
\n\tContracting Office: Space RCO
\n\tTitle: Notice of Intent to Sole Source - Post-delivery support of developed space and ground hardware and software.
\n\tResponse Date: No later than 1500 MST on 04 NOV 2026
\n\tNAICS Code: 541715
\n\tProduct Service Code (PSC): DA10
\n\tDescription:
\nThe Space Rapid Capabilities Office (Space RCO) intends to solicit and negotiate a contract on a sole-source basis with Systems & Technology Research, LLC, Woburn, Massachusetts under the statutory authority of 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) as implemented by RFO 6.103-1, Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements.
Requirement Description:
\nSpace RCO requires post-delivery support of developed space and ground hardware and software. This effort will continue to provide systems engineering support for verification and validation of interface requirements, hardware integration and test, and on-orbit troubleshooting as the payloads are integrated onto host vehicles, tested, launched, and perform on-orbit. The instant action is to procure services to transition a prototype ground system to a full operational capability. The requirements outline a need for software development and integration expertise to enhance the existing system with a new graphical user interface (GUI), integrate mission-unique software (MUS), improve telemetry processing and data handling, and ensure the system can support long-term, 24/7 operations. The effort also requires integration with the R2C2 Acme Ground Segment, maintaining external connections, development on cloud infrastructure, and adherence to cybersecurity and systems engineering best practices. Full operational capability should be obtained within 6 months from ATP.
Projected Base and Option Year CLIN Structure:
\n\nCLIN 0001 (CPFF) - 2-Year Base, 3 (three) 1-Year Options.
\n\nCLINs 0003, 0004 (Cost Only, No Fee) - 2-Year Base, 3 (three) 1-Year Options.
\n\nCLIN 0002 (T&M) - 1-Year Base, 4 (four) 1-Year Options.
\n\n\n\nReason for Sole Source:
\n\nSystems & Technology Research, LLC is the original developer of the prototype ground system. The contractor holds specialized technical expertise and existing infrastructure knowledge required to transition this system to Full Operational Capability (FOC). No other source possesses the requisite technical familiarity to meet the aggressive 6-month FOC requirement without causing unacceptable delays in fulfilling the agency's critical requirements and generating substantial duplication of costs that is not expected to be recovered through competition.
\n\nSubmission Details:
\nThis notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals. However, all responsible sources may submit a capability statement, proposal, or quotation, which shall be considered by the agency.
To be considered viable, any response must explicitly demonstrate the vendor's technical capability to:
\n\nAchieve FOC of the specific prototype ground system within six (6) months of ATP.
\n\tPerform direct, proven integration with the R2C2 Acme Ground Segment without reliance on Systems & Technology Research, LLC proprietary data.
\n\tExecute the required cloud infrastructure development and 24/7 telemetry processing capabilities. (Generic marketing materials will not be evaluated.)
\n\tInformation received will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed contract action based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government.
\n\nResponses must be received no later than 1500 MST on 04 NOV 2026. Responses must be submitted via email to Monica Torrez at monica.torrez.1.ctr@spaceforce.mil and Mariacheska Legendre at mariacheska.legendre@spaceforce.mil.
