Description
The United States Space Force (USSF) is seeking information, insights, and recommendations from industry to inform the design and execution of a modernized Infrastructure Delivery Authority and Delivery Partner (IDA-DP) framework. This framework aims to streamline the delivery of infrastructure projects by establishing a single-purpose organization led by the government with full visibility into performance, access to data, and decision rights. The IDA would engage a world-class private-sector Delivery Partner consortium to manage the program on behalf of the Government, sharing in risk and reward. The key areas of interest include IDA-DP governance and authority, delivery model selection, supply chain and long-lead procurement, cleared labor and security phasing, digital twins and technology, risk allocation and incentive design, regulatory and compliance barriers, and workforce and talent.
Some of the key points to consider are:
• The USSF is seeking a modernized framework to deliver infrastructure projects more efficiently.
• The proposed IDA-DP model aims to establish a single-purpose organization with full visibility into performance and access to data.
• The IDA would engage a private-sector Delivery Partner consortium to manage the program.
• The key areas of interest include governance, delivery model selection, supply chain, cleared labor, digital twins, risk allocation, and workforce.
• The USSF is seeking industry input on the executability of the proposed IDA-DP concept and practical recommendations for maximizing its effectiveness.
