United States Space Force Consulting Support

While the FY2020 NDAA capped the number of personnel to be assigned to Space Force and the subordinate organizations at 16,000, there was no cap to the people, processes, tools, and assets required to support the new organization. As the Space Force continues to innovate, develop, prototype and test new requirements focused on providing freedom of operation in, from, and to the space domain, the need for flexible support facilities and infrastructure remains paramount.

Matrix provided a strategic facility plan to provide a time-phased innovation execution framework to support Delta 6’s organizational initiatives and meet their facilities and infrastructure needs. This roadmap leveraged all real property tools and investment mechanisms available to support a “build or buy” decision to meet client needs in a time frame that was acceptable to impacted end-users.

Matrix supported Delta 6 under three primary lines of effort:

Program Management. Our Team provided program management support pertaining to facilities to ensure requirements were standardized, optimized based on physical or fiscal constraints, and coordinated both internally and externally in a consistent manner. Specific subtasks included the following:

  • Basing Action Requests: Facilitated the completion of basing action requests for the Cyber Squadrons (CYS), Space Cyber Center (SCC), Combat Training Squadron (CTS), and Space Delta 6 (DEL 6) staff
  • Facility Requirements: Collaborated with CYS representatives and others to develop standardized facility requirements documents that will support facility planning efforts (design and construction, lease acquisition, etc.)

Owner’s Representative: Matrix served as the Owner’s Representative for DEL 6 with authority to act on behalf of the project owner on all matters pertaining to construction project efforts, including pre-award design considerations, construction oversight, and post-construction outfitting and commissioning.

Civil Engineering: The Team completed other tasks as assigned within the scope of the contract. Specific tasks were time-bound with agreed upon deliverables clearly identified. Examples include the following:

  • Programming: Developed programming documents, including DD Form 1391 and cost estimates for facilities requirements
  • Facility Project Support: Consulted on facility projects and developed acquisition documents, including statements of work and independent government cost estimates, as required
