Introduction The United States Space Force (USSF), Space Systems Command (SSC), System Delta (SYD 85) is hosting an Industry Day to discuss the upcoming Interim Contractor Support (ICS) requirements for the Deep Space Advanced Radar Capability (DARC). DARC is a critical, multi-site global radar network designed to provide continuous, 24/7 space domain awareness in contested environments. The Government's intent during the ICS period is to secure robust, cadence-based sustainment, maintenance, and logistics support while simultaneously laying the groundwork for a seamless transition to long-term Contractor Logistics Support (CLS). We are seeking industry partners with proven expertise in operating and sustaining geographically dispersed mission-critical infrastructure, executing complex supply chain management under strict Financial Improvement and Audit Remediation (FIAR) standards, and maintaining stringent Department of War (DoW) cybersecurity standards within an Impact Level 5 (IL5) boundary. Problem Set Sustaining the DARC enterprise during the ICS period presents a highly complex, multi-tiered logistical and operational challenge. The successful contractor must simultaneously manage Level 1 (on-site) and Level 2 (Depot-Level) maintenance across remote, global sites while operating within strict host-nation environmental, security, and power connection regulations. Furthermore, the contractor must establish a fully functional Contractor-Inventory Control Point (C-ICP) to manage peculiar spares and support equipment, utilizing Scope IMS (Scope Inventory Management System) to ensure 100% accountability and FIAR compliance in the Government's Accountable Property System of Record (APSR). Compounding these logistical hurdles is the requirement to maintain strict system availability (Ao) and cybersecurity compliance Authority to Operate / Risk Management Framework (ATO/RMF) through cadence-managed software version releases, continuous vulnerability remediation, and seamless transition of Contractor Acquired Property (CAP) to Government Furnished Property (GFP). The Government is challenging industry to present agile, data-driven sustainment strategies that resolve these global logistical bottlenecks, minimize peculiar support equipment, and ultimately deliver draft Performance Work Statement (PWS) frameworks that enable a risk-free transition to steady-state CLS.
