The SBSS Block 10 System is composed of a Space Segment (SS) and Ground Segment (GS). The SS is composed of a bus and optical payload. The bus systems are controlled by redundant Spacecraft Control Processors (SCP), which are part of the Command and Data Handling Subsystem. The SCP controls all other SV bus subsystems including attitude control, propulsion, communications, and power. The SBSS Block 10 payload processors include redundant Payload Electronics Boxes, the Gimbal Amplifier Assembly, the On-Board Mission Data Processor (OBMDP) and the Solid-State Recorder (SSR). The GS provides the focal point for Command, Control, Communications, and Computers of the SBSS Block 10 System and is responsible for all aspects of mission and satellite space operations, including initial and ongoing on-orbit operations, maintenance, and anomaly resolution. SSAMS tasks include but are not limited to: Organizational Level Maintenance tasks (Hardware/Software), Sustaining Engineering and SV Anomaly Resolution, Maintenance Data Collection, Special Studies, Modifications and Upgrades, Depot Level Maintenance tasks (Hardware/Software), Supply Support & Inventory Mgmt, Configuration Management, Technical Data Management, Depot Support Facility Operations & Management and Security Management. The requirements will be a combination of operational & maintenance as well as research and development efforts with an anticipated period of performance between five and seven years. This effort will be based on the existing SBSS Block 10 configuration and sustainment requirements with an expected award in 2Q FY13. Pertinent NAICS code for this announcement is 541712.
