Space Situational Awareness Environmental Monitoring (SSAEM) Sensor Integration and Support - Sources Sought   2

Background
The United States Space Force (USSF) Space Situational Awareness Environmental Monitoring (SSAEM) Program Office within the Space Systems Command (SSC) Space Sensing (SN) is performing market research to identify capable industry sources for a new SSAEM Sensor Support Contract. The background includes information about the COSMIC-2 program, its partnership between Taiwan and the United States, and the role of various organizations such as the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), American Institute in Taiwan (AIT), Taipei Economic and Cultural Representative Office (TECRO), University Corporation for Atmospheric Research (UCAR), and others. It also details the current SSAEM Sensor Support Contract awarded to UCAR in July 2019, which will expire at the end of August 2023.

Work Details
The new SSAEM Sensor Support Contract will require various support services including on-orbit support for all SSAEM sensors, continuous monitoring of sensor health, on-call 24/7 sensor anomaly support, technical/science support to maintain and improve COSMIC-2 space weather products, maintenance of the IVM sensor ground data processing capability, technical assessments relevant to the use of evolving GNSS remote sensing techniques, and support for COSMIC-2 technical interchange with NOAA and Taiwan. The contract is anticipated to have a one-year period of performance with four one-year options.
