About this award
The Space and Missile Systems Center awarded a $30 million firm fixed-price definitive contract to Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation for Enhanced Polar System control and planning segment and payload sustainment on August 23, 2025, with no set-aside. The contract supports the Enhanced Polar System (EPS), a Major Defense Acquisition Program under Acquisition Category IC focused on military satellite communications capabilities for polar regions.
Performance occurs at Redondo Beach, California, extending through February 28, 2031. The contract covers sustainment, fielding, and operations support for EPS control and planning segments and associated payloads, including specialized extremely high frequency military satellite communications infrastructure.
Northrop Grumman's Space Systems Division executes the prime effort with multiple subcontractors supporting specialized capability areas. Carahsoft Technology Corp provides software publishing and integration services. Infinity Systems Engineering, a small business, delivers research and development in physical and engineering sciences supporting payload and control segment sustainment. Assured Space Access Technologies, a service-disabled veteran-owned small business, supplies engineering services focused on control segment recapitalization and systems integration. Sterling Computers Corporation, a women-owned small business, provides custom computer programming and IT infrastructure support.
EPS is managed as a Major Capability Acquisition under the Space and Missile Systems Center's portfolio. The program encompasses space-based communications architecture, ground control segments, and operations support spanning both space and ground infrastructure. The $30 million ceiling represents a core sustainment and engineering effort within a broader MDAP structure that includes concurrent payload development and control segment recapitalization activities executed by other primes.
