CLARIFICATION ON TRIOSS BRIDGE CONTRACT (16 MARCH 2024):
The purpose of this message is to clarify the Government's Notice of Intent, issued on 27 Feb 2024, to issue a sole source bridge contract to Phoenix Logistics, LLC, (CAGE 0SCJ7), in place of the current Training Instructor Operator Support Services (TRIOSS) Contract/Task Order W900KK18D0029/0001, set to expire 28 April 2024. This update is not provided to solicit additional comment regarding the impending Bridge action.
The period of performance for the current TRIOSS Contract / Task Order W900KK18D0029 / 0001 expires 28 April 2024, with no options available to extend the current period of performance. The MIOSS Contract (W900KK-23-C-0025) Award, which is the follow-on to the current TRIOSS contract, is currently under litigation with GAO, which will likely take a minimum of 3-4 months to resolve.
The services for subject TRIOSS Bridge Contract will remain the same as provided under the current TRIOSS Contract/Task Order W900KK18D0029/0001. No deviation from the current services performed under TRIOSS will occur. The TRIOSS Bridge Contract will be an interim effort, awarded to the current contractor Phoenix Logistics, and will conform to the existing TRIOSS Contract/Task Order (W900KK18D0029/0001) and associated Performance Work Statements (PWSs).
NOTE: The MIOSS Performance Work Statement (PWS), which was included with the initial TRIOSS Bridge Contract SAM.Gov Notice of Intent on 27 Feb 2024, has since been removed and replaced with the current TRIOSS Base and Task Order PWSs. Again, there will be no deviation from the current services performed under the current TRIOSS Contract / Order W900KK18D0029/0001, for the TRIOSS Bridge Contract.
The TRIOSS Bridge Contract is planned for a limited period, not to exceed 12-months. The contract will consist of three (3), four (4) month performance periods, including a 4-month base period, commencing 29 Apr 2024 – 28 Aug 2024. The additional 4-month option periods, including Option 1 (29 Aug 24 – 28 Dec 24), and Option 2, commencing 29 Dec 24 – 28 Apr 25, will only be exercised if Corrective Action is not successful and litigation proceeds longer than anticipated (3-4 months).
CORRECTIVE ACTION
BLUF: Corrective action could result in:
(1) award to the existing contractor,
(2) award to a new contractor, or
(3) re-solicitation of the MIOSS acquisition.
NOTE: The Government does not anticipate re-solicitation of MIOSS but cannot rule it out as a possibility.
Corrective action has already commenced and includes the following:
a. Re-evaluation of the Protestor’s Proposal in accordance with the MIOSS Solicitation (W900KK-23-R-0016) Evaluation Criteria.
b. After re-evaluation of the Protestor’s proposal, a determination of the impact to the source selection decision will be made, when considered against the Solicitation Evaluation Criteria.
c. If the Army ultimately selects a different offeror for award after re-evaluation, the Army will terminate for convenience the original contract award.
d. The Army reserves the right to take additional corrective actions or measures that the Contracting Officer determines appropriate during implementation of Corrective Action.
Lastly, I’ve included Protest and Corrective Action information below to provide additional clarity on the sequence of events thus far. If you have any additional questions, please contact me at: phillip.b.davis16.civ@mail.mil, or (407) 244-4971.
MIOSS GAO PROTEST
On 11 July 2023, a GAO Protest (B-421803.1) was filed relating to Army Contracting Command - Orlando (ACC-ORL) award of the MIOSS Contract W900KK-23-C-0025, resulting from Solicitation W900KK-23-R-0016 (Amendment 0001). Due to the timely receipt of the Protest, on 12 July 2023, ACC-ORL issued a Stop Work Order on the MIOSSS Contract W900KK-23-C-0025, which is still in place today (16 March 2024). On 20 July 2023 ACC-ORL informed GAO of its intent to take corrective action, and on 25 July 2023, GAO dismissed the initial Protest (B-4211803.1), pending the Government’s corrective action. After the Government’s initial Corrective Action, a new GAO Protest (B-421803.2) was filed on 7 Feb 2024. On 7 March 2024, ACC-ORL informed GAO of its intent to take Corrective Action once again, and as a result, on 12 March 2024 GAO dismissed Protest (B-421803.2), pending the Government’s Corrective Action, which cannot be resolved prior to the expiration of the current TRIOSS Contract / Task Order (W900KK18D0029/0001), set to expire 28 April 2024.

This Request for Information (RFI) is in support of additional market research by the Department of the Air Force (DAF), United States Space Force (USSF), and Space Launch Delta 45 (SLD 45) to identify potential sources to lease Space Launch Complex 37 (SLC-37) at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station (CCSFS), Florida. Due to the unique attributes of SLC-37 and the goal of maximizing assured access to space in support of national security objectives, the DAF, USSF and SLD 45 are committed to ensuring the best use of this property.
The USSF seeks to issue a lease under 10 U.S.C. § 2667 to a space launch company to construct launch, recovery, and other associated space transportation infrastructure and to conduct launch and reentry activities at SLC-37. Commercial use of CCSFS real property advances U.S. space capabilities and provides launch and launch support facilities in furtherance of U.S. policy to launch national security and other DoD payloads into space. The DAF will execute a lease after completion of the required environmental planning documentation and issuance of a record of decision.
This action will also further Congress’s grant of authority to the Secretary of Defense, pursuant to 10 U.S.C. § 2276, Commercial space launch cooperation, to:
(1) Maximize the use of the capacity of the space transportation infrastructure of the Department of Defense by the private sector in the United States;
(2) Maximize the effectiveness and efficiency of the space transportation infrastructure of the Department of Defense;
(3) Reduce the cost of services provided by the Department of Defense related to space transportation infrastructure at launch support facilities and space recovery support facilities;
(4) Encourage commercial space activities by enabling investment by covered entities in the space transportation infrastructure of the Department of Defense; and
(5) Foster cooperation between the Department of Defense and covered entities.
SLC-37, one of the largest launch sites at CCSFS, is in the northern portion of the station and is capable of supporting super-heavy class launch vehicles. The DAF seeks to enhance its ability to deliver greater mission capability, expand efficient access to space, and enable cost-effective delivery of cargo to space. The DAF also seeks to expand launch program portfolio diversity and capabilities through the lease and improvement of SLC-37, which was most recently used for United Launch Alliance’s Delta IV Heavy program. SLC-37 will likely need substantial modification to accommodate a new launch program.
The DAF is interested in responses from companies that can demonstrate they meet the following requirements:
Launching a super-heavy class vehicle
The USSF does not currently have a super-heavy launch capability at CCSFS. As SLC-37 has unique attributes that can support super-heavy launch vehicles, maximizing mass to orbit per launch is a priority. For purposes of this RFI, “Super-heavy” is defined as a lift capability of greater than 50,000 kg to low Earth orbit (LEO). To demonstrate ability to meet this requirement, respondents should provide a list of any launch vehicle with a super-heavy lift capability to LEO that you intend to launch from SLC-37 within five years of the date of this RFI.
Sufficient financial maturity
A launch service provider must have the financial maturity to bring the proposed launch vehicle into operations at SLC-37 within five years of the date of this RFI. This includes building the necessary pad infrastructure in accordance with Government safety, environmental, security, and other applicable requirements, and developing the launch vehicle and associated manufacturing and logistics tail. To demonstrate ability to meet this requirement, respondents should provide documentation of current financial resources and funding status and provide inputs on modifying, developing, reusing or demolishing the existing SLC-37 infrastructure to support super-heavy launch and recovery operations at SLC-37 within five years.
Increase launch diversity at CCSFS
The DAF is seeking to increase the number of launch vehicles that operate on CCSFS to provide resilience in the event of a vehicle or infrastructure anomaly, factory work stoppage, supply chain disruption, or other launch impediment. With more requests than available pads, SLD 45 seeks to bring new launch vehicles to CCSFS rather than providing second pads to any launch vehicle currently operating at CCSFS. To demonstrate ability to meet this requirement, respondents should address whether your intended vehicle for SLC-37 currently has a launch site on CCSFS.
Maximize the benefit to the space industry and U.S. economy
Launch services are foundational to the health of the space economy; therefore, commercial operations from SLC-37 should maximize the benefit to the space industry and the U.S. economy. To demonstrate ability to meet this requirement, respondents should describe any unique capabilities of the intended launch vehicle (e.g., point-to-point delivery, payload return, survivability, reuse, crew transport) and the associated benefits for DoD, the space industry, and the U.S. economy.
Highest technical maturity
SLD 45 intends to allocate SLC-37 to a launch provider with a launch vehicle that is technically mature enough to begin operating from SLC-37 within five years to best utilize the site and ensure it does not sit idle. Categories of maturity to be considered will include: National Security Space Launch certification, successful missions, test flights, production and design. To demonstrate ability to meet this requirement, respondents should submit a schedule of projected milestones showing how the intended vehicle will be operational on SLC-37 within five years from the date of this RFI.
Maximize productivity while limiting adverse impacts
Proposed launch operations must strike an appropriate balance between maximizing productivity while also limiting adverse impact to other launch operations to capitalize on return on investment for the Government and protect the public and preserve critical national resources. The DAF will consider the impact of the launch vehicle’s proposed operations on other operations at CCSFS in order to minimize disruption to missions at other launch complexes while operating at the highest rate of productivity possible. The DAF will assess the impact of the launch vehicle’s explosive arcs and CONOPS on other CCSFS launch complexes, processing facilities, and transit routes. For vehicles that use LOX/LNG propellant, the SLD 45 Safety Office will define the explosive arcs for consistency. To demonstrate ability to meet this requirement, respondents should provide: projected launch rate, mass to orbit per launch, quantities of fuels needed, explosive arcs and hazard areas, including explosive siting maps in work or approved, mitigation alternatives for anticipated impacts to neighboring operations and transportation routes, and projected launch rates across all the company’s launch sites on CCSFS.
Please address in writing your company’s interest in leasing SLC-37 and your company’s ability to meet the DAF requirements by December 12, 2024 at 1700 EST. Please email your response to Erin White, SSC SLD 45 at the following address: erin.white.7@spaceforce.mil
Please include specific details regarding your company’s ability to fulfill each of these requirements and explain how your company will demonstrate compliance. Limit your response to 15 pages, use 12 point New Times Roman font with one inch margins on each page.
The DAF is also interested in hearing industry feedback regarding its requirements, which are subject to change.
