Space Force Previews Estimated $2.5B Hemisphere Advisory Contract

The U.S. Space Force has released a draft request for proposals to solicit information on potential industry sources that could meet the requirements of a potential 10-year, $2.5 billion contract to provide advisory and assistance services to help build and sustain weapons systems for Space Systems Command.

USSF intends to compete the Hemisphere program as a multiple-award, indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity program in support of SSC’s Space Domain Awareness and Combat Power, Battle Management, Command, Control and Communications and mission partners, according to a notice published Wednesday.

Under the Hemisphere IDIQ contract, the contractor should provide program management, engineering, logistics, contracting, administrative and operations support to the government throughout the lifecycle of any effort.

SSC expects the vendor to have experience working on classified space acquisition programs and hold a valid security clearance.

General requirements include program management reviews, training government personnel, security, telework, contract phase-out transition plan and status reports.

Advisory and assistance services under the Hemisphere program include lifecycle acquisition and sustainment, cybersecurity, executive acquisition, product support and logistics, contracting, intelligence, facilities and test and operations.

The feedback period is open until July 19.
