Hemisphere Program
In July 2023, the Space Force issued a draft request for proposals to seek feedback from potential industry sources that could meet the requirements of the Hemisphere program.
Under the Hemisphere IDIQ contract, the vendor should provide program management, engineering, logistics, contracting, administrative and operations support to the government throughout the lifecycle of any effort.
According to the draft RFP, advisory and assistance services under the program include lifecycle acquisition and sustainment, cybersecurity, executive acquisition, product support and logistics, contracting, intelligence, facilities and test and operations.
