Description:

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), Office of Space Commerce (OSC), requires system integration and cloud management for the Traffic Coordination System for Space (TraCSS) (formerly called Open Architecture Data Repository (OADR)). The TraCSS will be developed to fulfill the 2018 US National Space Council released Space Policy Directive-3 (SPD-3), which instructed relevant US government agencies to begin re-assigning many aspects of space traffic management (STM) and space traffic coordination (STC) serving non-military US space operators. This was identified as a whole of government' approach, and the organization identified to lead many of the efforts was NOAA OSC, in the US Department of Commerce (DOC).

This source sought notice is issued to better understand industry capabilities to deliver the key criteria associated with the attached draft performance work statement. The Government is particularly interested in identifying potential small business concerns capable of competing under this requirement. NOAA requests interested, qualified sources to respond to this source sought notice.

2. Describe your experience with any Space Situational Awareness (SSA)/Space Traffic Coordination (STC) domain knowledge and work with databases and the SSA industry in these domains.
3. Provide capabilities for developing systems such as the TraCSS.
4. Describe your capabilities for implementing data systems in a cloud environment, the size of clusters, data volume and implementing high availability systems and ensuring continuity of operations.
