On August 15, the U.S. Space Force issued a request for information (RFI) for operational training support. Questions are due by August 25 at 12:00 p.m. Mountain, and responses are due by 4:00 p.m. Eastern on September 8.
Space Delta 9 (Del 9) is critical to the U.S. Space Force, responsible for generating, presenting, sustaining, and improving combat-ready forces capable of full-spectrum orbital warfare operations, experimentation, and technology demonstrations. This includes providing the combat power necessary to defeat space and counterspace threats, as well as supporting critical surveillance, reconnaissance, and close-proximity operations to safeguard freedom of action for US interests. Supporting units like 1 SOPS, 3 SOPS, and 5 SOPS, along with the intelligence support provided by Detachment 1, all contribute to a complex operational environment demanding advanced and realistic training.
Given the diverse mission requirements of Del 9 and its subordinate units, a robust operational training support service is essential. This support must encompass not only traditional orbital warfare tactics and techniques but also address emerging challenges in the space domain, including cyber threats and intelligence integration. The training must be adaptable to reflect evolving threats and technologies, ensuring that warfighters are prepared for the full spectrum of orbital warfare activities. Therefore, a comprehensive and innovative training approach is critical to maintain Del 9’s combat readiness and ensure its continued success in defending US interests in space.
This requirement is being pursued under the Commercial Solutions Opening (CSO) pilot program as described in DFARS 212.270, Pilot Program for Commercial Solutions Openings. The goal is to leverage innovative commercial software solutions to enhance USSF warfighting missions. Anticipated PoP for this requirement is 1 Sept 2026- 31 Aug 2031.
