Command and Control System-Consolidated (CCS-C) Production and Sustainment Contract (CPASC)   2

This announcement serves as notice that the U.S. Department of the Air Force SMC/PKL located at Peterson AFB in Colorado Springs, CO is contemplating issuing a sole source RFP to Kratos Technology & Training Solutions, Inc (Cage Code 8A244), 10680 Treena St. Fl 6, San Diego, CA 92131-2487.

Space and Missile Systems Center/MILSATCOM (SMC/MCL) Directorate has a need to acquire an additional two years of continued sustainment for the Command and Control System-Consolidated (CCS-C) Production and Sustainment Contract (CPASC) which is the CCS-C legacy system. This extension is required due to government caused delays that have delayed significantly the completion of the CCS-C Assurance & Capacity Enhancement (CACE) integration currently on contract through Dec 2020.

The CCS-C legacy system supports Launch & Early Orbit (L&EO) operations, on-orbit operations, anomaly resolution, and disposal operations. CCS-C supports these activities by providing telemetry processing, command processing, orbit data processing, ground system resource management, satellite and ground system simulation, mission planning and scheduling, support planning and execution, analysis tools, and system training. CCS-C also provides cybersecurity measures to ensure that classified data processed in all areas is protected. The CCS-C system is based on a set of extensible commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) software components with an underlying architecture allowing easy integration of new functionality. The CCS-C contract provides a primarily COTS-based C2 capability for the full family of MILSATCOM satellite programs, with the capability to support other satellite programs, including other agencies' programs through future enhancements, should the need arise.
The determination by the Government not to open the requirement to full competition is based upon responses received to a previous Sources Sought and the known complex interdependencies between the CACE upgrade and the CCS-C legacy system in supporting ongoing operations and launch activities. Kratos is the only firm capable of providing the CCS-C legacy system sustainment services described above without the U.S. Air Force experiencing substantial duplication of cost that could not be expected to be recovered through competition.

The modification will be awarded under the authority of Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 6.302-1(a)(2)(ii) as Only One Responsible Source and No Other Supplies or Services Will Satisfy Agency requirements.

The period of performance will be two years from 1 January 2019 through 31 December 2020, via two additional one-year option periods.
