How to bid on Space Systems Command Strategic Services Vehicle (SSSV) Program with the Air Force
What the Air Force is buying and why it matters
The Department of the Air Force's Space Systems Command (SSC) is planning for its Strategic Services Vehicle (SSSV) program. This program will establish multiple Blanket Purchase Agreements (BPAs) for commercial advisory and assistance services.
The remaining projected areas for these services are finance support, security support, and engineering support. This is an important opportunity for small businesses as some of these areas are planned as set-asides.
Key dates and what happens at the deadline
This notice was published on September 11, 2026, and the deadline for this information notice is December 17, 2026, at 8:00 PM ET. This particular notice is for information only and is not a request for quotes or proposals.
The actual Requests for Quotes (RFQs) for the finance, security, and engineering support services are expected to be released through GSA eBuy at later dates. For example, the security support RFQ is projected for late 2026, and the engineering support RFQ for mid-2027. The finance support RFQ was released on GSA eBuy on September 9, 2026, with a due date of October 13, 2026, at 9:00 AM PST.
Who this opportunity suits
This opportunity is suitable for small businesses, particularly Woman-Owned Small Businesses (WOSB), that can provide professional advisory and assistance services. Specifically, the security support and engineering support components are planned as 100% WOSB set-asides.
Firms specializing in computer facilities management (NAICS 541513) and computer systems design services (NAICS 541513) with relevant GSA Multiple Award Schedule (MAS) contracts will find this relevant. The security support has an estimated work magnitude of $132 million, and engineering support has an estimated $50 million. Up to five awards are planned for each of these areas.
How to respond to this notice
This notice is for informational purposes only and does not require a response. The government is not seeking quotes or proposals at this time and will not accept unsolicited proposals.
All future inquiries, correspondence, and questions regarding the SSSV program must be directed via email to [email protected]. Do not call, as telephonic inquiries will not be accepted or returned.
Tips for preparing a competitive response
While this notice is for information, prospective vendors should ensure their GSA Multiple Award Schedule (MAS) contracts include the correct NAICS codes and Special Item Numbers (SINs) for the services they wish to offer. For security support, the planned NAICS is 541513 with SINs 54151S, 518210C, and 54151HACS.
Monitor GSA eBuy regularly for the release of the actual RFQs for finance, security, and engineering support. Since some opportunities are WOSB set-asides, ensure your business is properly certified and registered in SAM.gov. Begin preparing your capabilities statements and past performance examples relevant to these service areas now.
