A -- RANGE AND COMMUNICATIONS DEVELOPMENT CONTRACT (RCDC) FOR THE SATELLITE AND LAUNCH CONTROL SYSTEMS PROGRAM OFFICE (SLCSPO) SOL F04701-95-R-0007 DUE 110195 POC Contractual issues: Ms Marilyn Washington, (310) 363-6546 and/or Ms Cathy Butler, (310) 363-6541; Technical issues 1Lt Paul Mendy (310) 363-3200; Contracting Officer Mrs. Carol Bivens, (310) 363-6556. The United States Air Force Space and Missile Systems Center (SMC) intends to release a Request For Proposal (RFP) on or about 02 October 1995 for the Range and Communications Development Contract (RCDC). The RFP will be published via the PK electronic bulletin board system (BBS). The files will be in Microsoft Office format (Word, Excel, Powerpoint, and Access). The numbers for this BBS are (310) 363-6612 (9600 baud), (310) 363-6613 (9600 baud), or (310) 363-1004 (2400 baud). You must have a password, issued by SMC/PK, to gain access to this BBS. If you do not already have a password, send a letter on company letterhead with the name(s) and phone number(s) of the personnel requiring access to: Ms. Maxine Chandler, HQ SMC/PKOM, 155 Discoverer Blvd., Suite 1542, Los Angeles AFB, CA 90245-4692, fax number: (310) 363- 5507, or voice mail: (310)363-1533. Once a password has been assigned, the PK BBS is accessed like any other BBS. This BBS allows downloading only. If the PK BBS is not accessible by your company, a hard copy may be obtained by forwarding an e-mail request (preferred method) to RCDC @slcspo.laafb.af.mil, a faxed request to (310) 363- 1856, or a written request to Mrs. Carol L. Bivens at the address set forth below in this announcement. The Space and Missile Systems Center (SMC) Satellite and Launch Control Systems Program Office (SLCSPO) requires tasks to be performed in the area of studies, developmental enginuing, installation, and testing of program-specific engineering projects related to the globally-spread communications systems segment and remote satellite tracking station range segment of the Air Force Satellite Control Network (AFSCN). These tasks must be applied particularly to the achievement of an overall replacement of the aging AFSCN communications system and subsequent upgrades to the satellite tracking range in line with Air Force Space Command requirements. The contracor shall also provide a level of effort to accomplish tasks assigned by the Air Force. The estimated period of performance for this effort will be up to five years. The type of contract contemplated is cost plus award fee (CPAF). The tasks involved will require the contractor to provide quick response and to have close connection with the Satellite and Launch Control Systems Program Office (SMC/CW), as well as other AFSCN organizations and their supporting contractors located at or near Los Angeles Air Force Base, CA, Onizuka Air Station, CA and Falcon Air Force Base, CO. The RCDC is envisioned to be a successor to the current AFSCN Engineering Services and Modifications Contract (ESMC V), but not a follow-on contract with the same major tasks. Due to the highly complex nature of the contract effort and the large number of skills required to perform the various tasks, prime- subcontractor and teaming arrangements are encouraged. The Satellite and Launch Control Systems Program Office will use an Organizational Conflict of Interest (OCI) provision which will preclude the awarded contractor for RCDC from competing for a future AFSCN integration contract. As a general basis for award for RCDC, the offeror must possess or be able to obtain a Top Secret industrial facility clearance at one of its facilities. Companies bidding on this contract must be U. S. based, and personnel supporting this contract must have a Secret clearance. Several contractor personnel are required to have a recent favorable Special Background Investigation (SBI). The contractor will be required to establish at contract award facilities in the local areas of Onizuka Air Station, CA and Falcon Air Force Base, CO. This synopsis is not a formal solicitation. The Government does not intend to award a contract on the basis of this synopsis or otherwise pay for the information solicited in the RFP. Further information and/or questions regarding this synopsis or RCDC in general shall be addressed to: SMC/CWKD, Attn: Mrs. Carol L. Bivens, 155 Discoverer Blvd., Suite 1380, Los Angeles AFB, CA 90245-4692. (0268)
