Tools, Applications, and Processing (TAP) Laboratory and Overhead Persistent Infrared (OPIR) Battlespace Awareness Center (OBAC) Support Services (TLOSS)

Scope:

The purpose of this acquisition is for a performance-based support services contract to stand up a government controlled and managed data exploitation Research, Development, Test and Evaluation (RDT&E) capability called the Tools Applications and Processing (TAP) Lab, currently under demonstration in Boulder Colorado. The TAP Lab will provide an unrestricted RDT&E innovation environment for enhancing and/or developing new operational capabilities while also providing an environment accessible to other Department of Defense (DoD), Civil and Commercial Users to find new innovative uses of remote sensing data. The acquisition will also support the Overhead Persistent Infrared (OPIR) Battlespace Awareness Center (OBAC) co-located with the Space Based Infrared System (SBIRS) Mission Control Station located at Buckley AFB Colorado. Capabilities, once verified under the Tab Lab for operational utility, will be promoted and integrated into the operational system at the OBAC which will be managed by the contractor.
