The US Space Force, Space Operations Command has a requirement for Space Electronic Warfare II (SEW II) Advisory and Assistance Services.

HQ SpOC S3/6W is the Office of Primary Responsibility (OPR) for USSF SEW mission area operations. The SEW mission area ensures the freedom of operations within and throughout the space medium, while denying its use to adversaries and is dependent on inputs from Space Domain Awareness (SDA) and Command and Control (C2), which may contribute to SEW. HQ SpOC S3/6W provides guidance for all USSF space operations including SEW, C2, and ISR operations. SEW includes defensive and offensive operations. Both defensive and offensive operations are dependent on robust SDA and are conducted across the tactical, operational, and strategic levels of war by the entire joint force (air, space, land, maritime, and special operations forces). SEW operations include: protective and defensive measures to ensure friendly forces can continuously conduct space operations across the entire spectrum of conflict; and operations to deceive, disrupt, deny, degrade, or destroy adversary space capabilities.

Advisory and assistance services for architectural development, requirement development, technical/logistics support, system analysis, Intelligence Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) and programmatic, protection, analytical, communication, and staffing support. Services support Organizing, Training, and Equipping functions for Space Electromagnetic Warfare (SEW) forces to perform USSF missions. This includes Program of Record (PoR) / prototypes facilitation and support, problem resolution, planning, and staffing processes required to support mission objectives. This Task Order (TO) is for non-personal services.

This TO supports a broad range of HQ SpOC Generate, Present, and Sustain, functions with an emphasis on individual Directorate and Mission Area Team (MAT) roles throughout the program lifecycle for SEW mission area weapon systems. The program lifecycle is described in United States Space Force Instruction (USSFI) 10-605, Operational Acceptance Process. The USSFI outlines the Operational Transition Process necessary for the operational acceptance of USSF systems. It assigns the roles and responsibilities of the acquirers, operators, and maintainers and describes the overall processes to transition new capabilities or modification of fielded systems providing space capabilities from acquisition to operations through disposition. This contract also supports the Integrated Planning Process (IPP), corporate process, and Science and Technology (S&T). Work ranges from unclassified to Special Access Program (SAP)/Special Access Required (SAR). Contractor personnel must meet eligibility requirements In Accordance With (IAW) current Department of Defense Manuals (DoDM); (the Air Force has not yet published supplemental guidance to current Program Security manuals). The Contractor shall provide a life-cycle support approach for:

• Space Superiority Planning (near, mid, and long range) to include strategic master plan, mission area intelligence, planning, roadmaps, investment strategies, and Program Objective Memorandum (POM);
•  Force Development Concepts; Operating, Functional, and System;
• SEW operations and capabilities-based requirements identification;
• SEW Joint mission integration with other Services;
• Assessing military effectiveness and utility of SEW operations;
• Protecting and managing risk to critical Space capabilities related information;
• Critical Asset Risk Management (CARM) Program for current and future systems;
• Integrating Program Protection Processes for future acquisitions;
• SEW acquisition test and training support;
• HQ SpOC Field Command guidance development and review for Space programs;
• Intelligence, Operational, Logistical, Requirements, and Communications support to Quick Reaction Capabilities and programmed and operational Space capabilities and systems;
• Coordination and integration with internal and external Mission partners and Joint Community;
• Support the Space Electromagnetic Warfare (SEW) Integrated Planning Process (IPP)

HQ SpOC also requires specialized support and expertise to successfully contribute to, adhere to, and implement Department of Defense (DoD) and higher Space Force (SF) direction regarding space capabilities to integrate space capabilities across the SF in support of Combatant Commands and the joint warfighter.

In no instance shall the Contractor be responsible for any action deemed “Inherently Governmental” such as authorizing the expenditure of Government funds. In all cases, Government personnel assigned to the HQ SpOC DCG-O/S3/6W will be responsible to execute these actions. All request-for-information (RFI), courses of action (COA), technical data changes, architecture products, protection strategies, risk assessments, mitigation recommendations, classification guides, reports, briefings, policies, comments, recommendations, analyses, assessments, requirements, or plans that are developed, analyzed, reviewed, created, and submitted will be studied and approved by a Government entity.
