Assessing the Readiness of Contractor-Provided Space Operations Capabilities

Abstract

We reviewed contractor personnel tracking in Air Force databases. We solicited data from Air Force Installation Contracting Agency contacts at Air Force Space Command (AFSPC). At the request of AFSPC/A3 and the Fourteenth Air Force, we examined two squadrons: the 2nd Space Operations Squadron and the 2nd Space Warning Squadron. For those units, we obtained Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS) reports, Quality Assurance (QA) reports, and Performance Work Statements (PWSs). We also solicited subject-matter expert input from the relevant contract managers at Space and Missile Systems Center (SMC) and uniformed operational SMEs within each of the two units.
