The U.S. Space Force will conduct an industry day on Oct. 25 and 26 to solicit industry comments on the planned acquisition of spacecraft for science and technology experiments.
The Innovation and Prototyping Acquisition Delta at Kirtland Air Force Base in New Mexico will host the event to discuss the forthcoming Space Test Experiment Platform 2.0 contract vehicle for the development of a spacecraft and integration of payload and launch vehicle, according to a notice posted on SAM.gov Thursday.
The government anticipates awarding STEP 2.0 as an indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contract with cascading set-asides to support the Space Test Program’s spacecraft requirements.
A draft request for proposals for the contract vehicle is expected to be posted on Oct. 11.
