Deep Space Advanced Radar (DARC) Interim Contractor Support (ICS) Contract

The United States Space Force (Space Systems Command – BMC3I) has issued a Sources‑Sought Request for Information (RFI) titled “Deep Space Advanced Radar (DARC) Interim Contractor Support (ICS) Contract.” The Government seeks industry input on best practices and a single, novel contract/management model that will enable a principal integrator to oversee two distinct lines of effort: (1) backlog reduction, security, operations, and integration of DARC software and tools, and (2) sustainment of operationally accepted, baselined software. Submissions must address both objectives, describe how the integrator will incentivize and collaborate with industry partners and subcontractors, and avoid any shared‑resource models across effort lines. Offerors must request access to Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) by providing a CAGE code linked to a compliant NIST SP 800‑171 assessment, and all responses are to be delivered as a white‑paper (max 16 pages total, with no more than 7 pages per objective) by 30 April 2026, 1200 MDT. Questions are due in writing by 20 April 2026, 1400 MDT, and all communications must follow the listed points of contact.
