Requirements (as outlined via the 2021 sources sought)

The contemplated SE&I contract requires a contract structure that is flexible to meet the systems engineering and integration of evolving launch user requirements, core operational range services, hardware, and software maintenance and sustainment, as well as identify and support modernization opportunities. Additionally of interest to the Government are industry’s experience related to commercial augmentation of current or planned range services, 3rd party provisioning concepts that utilize a Plug and Play architecture approach, launch user Autonomous Flight Safety System (AFSS) enabled rockets in conjunction with other launch vehicles utilizing traditional ground-based flight safety, rocket body return concepts, and any experience supporting test operations for Major Range Test Facility Base (MRTFB) users (e.g. MDA, AFGSC, Navy, others). The Government is interested in the industry’s ability to provide SE&I that improves agility, resilience, and flexibility of the Ranges, to include agile software development (e.g. Platform 1, DevSecOps, Continuous Development/Continuous Integration), cloud-based data platforms, and streamlined data products and requirements generation.

The SE&I Contract is envisioned to be agile and responsive to a dynamic and increasing launch manifest that will provide engineering and integration towards Range of the Future (ROTF) Vision that focuses on transforming the current range architecture to a digital architecture, implementation of Autonomous Flight Safety Systems, and a smaller range footprint through virtualization and cloud-based range functions. The ROTF Vision prioritizes agility, responsiveness, equitable access, and resiliency with incorporation of Range Services Hosting Plat (RSHP), DEVSECOPS, continuous development and continuous integration.
