On July 15, the U.S. Space Force released a draft request for proposal (RFP) notice and request for information (RFI) for National Security Space Launch (NSSL) Enterprise Payload Processing Management (EPPM). Responses are due by 3:00 p.m. Pacific on August 6.
Space Access is transitioning to a centralized management model to optimize the use of limited payload processing capacity, and increased schedule insight for commercial PPFs across NSS, civil, and commercial missions. This effort, EPPM, will transition from the ad hoc approach where individual System Program Offices (SPOs) and their SV contractors procure PPF services to a centralized approach where Space Access will schedule and procure PPF services for the USSF SV SPOs.
The Government requests a comprehensive review and feedback to the Draft RFP solicitation as well as the Request for Information questions.
The EPPM Multiple Award Indefinite-Delivery, Indefinite-Quantity (IDIQ) contracts will feature a five (5) year basic ordering period. To ensure a competitive and modern industrial base, the Government intends to utilize on-ramp procedures on an annual basis, or when market research identifies new qualified providers. These on-ramps will afford new entrants the opportunity to compete for an IDIQ contract award and receive the initial minimum order for Order Year 1 “Schedule and Technical Insight” Task Order. Additionally, the Government plans to open the IDIQ annually—and dynamically when market research dictates—to allow existing contract holders to add newly available capabilities to their contracts.
Review the USSF NSSL EPPM RFI.
