Draft Solicitation for COMET Defense Intelligence Agency Missile and Space Intelligence Center

The Virginia Contracting Activity (VaCA) intends to release a Request for Proposal (RFP) for Contract Operations for Missile Evaluation and Testing (COMET) tentatively scheduled for December 2025. The Missile and Space Intelligence Center requires contract support for research, development, and sustainment of new and existing, hardware, systems, and software capabilities, and foundational military intelligence (FMI) enabling all- source analysis and production for the DIA, Department of Defense (DoD), and national level intelligence efforts. MSIC also requires contract support to provide the Defense Intelligence Enterprise (DIE) and its mission partners analysis and analytical enabling services support. The planned period of performance (PoP) for the anticipated Multiple Award Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract will be a five (5) year base ordering period with a five (5) year option ordering period. Supporting task orders may have up to a one (1) year base period and up to four (4) option periods (no option period will exceed one (1) year in duration). The resulting contract will have provisions for Cost-Plus-Fixed-Fee, Firm- Fixed-Price, and Time- and-Material Task Orders. The future RFP is likely to be issued on unrestricted competition basis. Subcontracting plans will be required where applicable. Offerors must be registered in the System for Award Management (www.sam.gov) to conduct business with this Government organization. Place of performance shall be determined at a later date. While the Statement of Work for each Task Order effort may not be classified, a TOP SECRET facility clearance is required and personnel working on Task Orders under the contract, whether or not performance is at MSIC facilities, must have a TS/SCI Clearance prior to working on the effort.
