Operations and Sustainment Support for PSDS2 J&A Extension of Services

The Persistent Surveillance and Dissemination System of Systems (PSDS2) is a critical Quick Reaction Capability (QRC) that has been providing Full Motion Video (FMV) capabilities since 2005. PSDS2 functions as a comprehensive system and architecture, receiving video feeds from various sensors and consolidating them in a central location for persistent surveillance, video analysis, dissemination, and long-term archiving.

This request covers Operations and Sustainment (O&S), logistics, and lifecycle support for PSDS2 systems deployed both within the Contiguous United States (CONUS) and Outside the Continental United States (OCONUS) through 2029. This includes personnel for system operation and maintenance in CONUS and OCONUS locations, as well as Field Service Representatives (FSRs) and Operators/Imagery Analysts. The requirement also necessitates the ability to rapidly deliver all necessary items, including digital assets, to designated locations on demand. This support applies to the entire PSDS2 network, encompassing its subsystems, hardware, and software components. The vendor supporting the PSDS2 software must maintain the Secure Internet Protocol Router (SIPR) Authority to Operate (ATO).

a) Hardware, Software, and Firmware Support: Maintenance, updates, and configuration management for the specialized system components.

b) Field Service Representatives (FSRs): Personnel for system installation, deployment, operation, and on-site maintenance in both domestic (CONUS) and international (OCONUS) locations.

c) Imagery Analysts: Specialized operators responsbile for monitoring, processing, exploiting, and disseminating Full Motion Video (FMV) and other intelligence data collected by the sensors.
