GCS II Addition of Option Years 07-09 and exercise of OY7-Notice of Proposed Contract Action (NOCA)

The Space System Command (SSC) Global Positioning Satellite (GPS) branch, Mission Delta 31, 31st Sustainment Squadron (MD31/31STS) Program Office intends to modify the existing GPS Control Segment II (GCS II) contract, FA8823-19-D-0001, to add three 12-month sustainment option CLINs, under the authority of Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 6.302-1(a)(2). This action will also include the exercise of the first of the option periods extending the current contract Period of Performance from 1 January 2026 to 31 December 2026. If exercised, the remaining 2 option periods will extend the current contract up to two years with periods of performance from 1 January 2027 to 31 December 2027 and 1 January 2028 through 31 December 2028.

The modification for continued GCS II sustainment support will be issued to the incumbent contractor, Lockheed Martin Services, LLC, 480 Wooten Road Building C, Colorado Springs CO, 80916-4712.

To sustain GPS capabilities, SpOC/31STS (P) requires the following: I) Program management - risk management, safety and quality management; 2) Systems engineering; 3) Hardware and Software maintenance; 4) Baseline configuration and data management; 5) Technical Order management; 6) Planning, Design, Test, and Evaluation for all system baseline upgrades due to new satellite platforms and preplanned system upgrades; 7) Programmed Depot Maintenance (PDM); 8) Emergency Depot Level Maintenance (EDLM), Urgent Depot Level Maintenance (UDLM), and Technical Assists (TA); 9) Operator and Maintainer training; I0) System anomaly tracking, investigation and resolution; 11) System trending analysis; 12) Equipment and software license obsolescence management; 13) Cybersecurity and processing of information assurance activities for network certification and accreditation.

This will enable the transition of the sustainment of Next Generation Operational Control System (OCX) to a competitive sustainment contract after delivery of the OCX GPS IIIF capability. The Government conducted a Request for Information (RFI) released on 9 September 2024 with responses (i.e. Statement of Capabilities (SOCs)) due on 24 September 2024. 4 responses were received. The Government has determined that award to any other source would result in substantial duplication of cost to the Government that is not expected to be recovered through competition and unacceptable delays in fulfilling agency requirements. The Government anticipates that award of this effort to a new contractor would require a substantial transition period between the incumbent and new awardee that would allow the new contractor time to ramp up to be able to fully perform the PWS requirements, in addition to duplicative lab costs and software licenses. Without such a transition period, the Government would experience unacceptable delays in meeting agency requirements because the new contractor would not be able to fully execute the required PWS.
