On October 9, the U.S. Space Force released a sources sought notice for the Ground-Based Electro-Optical Deep Space Surveillance System (GEODSS) / Ground-Based Optical Sensor System (GBOSS) Operation and Maintenance (O&M) Recompete. Responses are due by 11:00 a.m. Eastern on November 8.
The Space Acquisition and Integration Office (SAIO) is seeking potential sources to provide operations and maintenance services for geographically separated units meeting mission requirements and other specified lesser requirements. The contractor shall be responsible for the operations and maintenance of the GEODSS optical sites located at Socorro, New Mexico; Diego Garcia, British Indian Ocean Territory; and Maui, Hawaii. The systems at Socorro and Maui will be upgraded to the GBOSS and will conduct 24/7 sensor operations, while Diego Garcia will remain on the legacy GEODSS system and operate daytime ops only, with the possibility of all 3 sites on GBOSS and operating 24/7 pending future changes, timeline unknown.
The mission for GEODSS (and in the future GBOSS) is to detect, track, and identify all tasked space objects within its area of coverage. GEODSS provides metric data to the Joint Space Operations Center at Vandenberg AFB CA. GEODSS provides Space Object Identification to the USSTRATCOM Joint Intelligence Center at Offutt AFB, NE. Further, the Government is contemplating the consolidation of efforts with Maui Base Support Services (MBSS) and Information Technology Core Communications (ITCC), services under contract FA521523C0003. The scope of MBSS includes all management personnel, equipment and services necessary to operate the facilities, provide logistics and information technology support.
Facilities requirements include administration management and customer support, facility and infrastructure repair, demolition of Real Property/Real Property Installed Equipment (RP/RPIE), maintenance and support, operations (physical plant operations), grounds maintenance, refuse collection and disposal and limited architect/engineer services (planning, programming, design and construction management). ITCC services include Air Force Network system administration, security compliance, and service desk support. Logistics support includes central shipping and receiving, property control and accountability, vehicle control, pickup and delivery, warehouse storage and other logistics support for 15th Space Surveillance Squadron (SPSS) and mission partners working on site.
