A--Test Execution Services and Launch Augmentation (TESTLA)

This contract action was not awarded as a fixed price type because uncertainties involved in contract performance did not permit costs to be estimated with sufficient accuracy to use any type of fixed price contract. As such, a cost-reimbursement type action was awarded (FAR 16.301-2). The test and launch augmentation requirements of the U.S. Army Space and Missile Defense Command/Army Forces Strategic Command (USASMDC/ARSTRAT) are presented as a program entitled quote mark Test Execution Services and Launch Augmentation (TESTLA) quote mark . The USASMDC/ARSTRAT mission areas to be supported under TESTLA include, but are not limited to: Integrated Missile Defense (IMD) Programs, Warfighter Weapon Development Programs, Live-Fire Test and Evaluation and Lethality, Homeland Security Programs, Rapid Fielding/Innovative Concepts Programs, Cyber Technology Programs, Space Dominance Programs, Kill Vehicle Programs, Flight Termination Programs, Hyper-Velocity Gas Gun and High-Speed Sled Track Programs, Threat Programs, and Foreign Material Programs. The TESTLA requirements are represented by the following general categories: 1. Test Activities: Conducting test activities including (but are not limited to) test execution, pre/post-test, test planning, test design 2. Development, Manufacturing, and Acquisition: Design, development, and integration of components that are integral to conducting testing, assessments, or a development event 3. Mutually Dependent, Development, and Test: Design, development, and integration of components that are mutually inclusive and integrally linked to evaluation events where the development activity goal is driven by the event outcome The Technical Support Areas (TSAs) that comprise these general categories are as follows: 1.
