Background
The United States Space Force (USSF) is seeking to extend the Launch and Test Range System (LTRS) Integrated Support Contract (LISC) to ensure uninterrupted critical launch support during the transition period to the follow-on Space Force Range Contract (SFRC).

The LTRS is essential for national security, civil, and commercial space lift operations, providing assured access to space. The contract is currently held by Range Generation Next LLC (RGNext), which has been performing these services since November 2014.

The LISC encompasses a wide range of tasks necessary for the operation and maintenance of the LTRS, which includes 12 subsystems such as Command Destruct, Communications, Data Handling, Safety, Optics, Planning and Scheduling, Radar, Surveillance, Timing and Sequencing, Telemetry, Weather, and Modeling and Simulation.

Key services provided under this contract include:
