About this award

The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency awarded a definitive contract to Seakr Engineering, LLC for Blackjack Program Phases 2 and 3 on March 12, 2021, with a ceiling value of $145.99 million under a cost-plus-fixed-fee pricing model.

Blackjack is an architecture demonstration showcasing the military utility of global low Earth orbit constellations and mesh networks of smaller, lighter-weight spacecraft nodes. The originating solicitation, posted February 1, 2019 with an April 12, 2019 proposal due date, sought spacecraft autonomy hardware and software elements to support the constellation's global persistent coverage, including classified aspects of the Pit Boss autonomy system, mission architecture, software development, and encryption capabilities. Evaluation criteria addressed the proposed technical approach, key personnel qualifications, and ability to develop architecture and associated software and hardware enabling a proliferated constellation to continuously deliver target data without human intervention. The broader Blackjack effort anticipated multiple awards totaling up to $38.5 million across three phases through 2022, with objectives including requirements definition, preliminary design, and detailed design and demonstration, culminating in operation of 20 demonstration satellites by end of Phase 3.

Place of performance is Greenwood Village, Colorado. Work is classified under NAICS 541715 and PSC R408. The ultimate completion date is July 29, 2026.

Description

Blackjack program phases 2 and 3, which is an architecture demonstration intending to show the high military utility of global LEO constellations and mesh networks of lower size, weight, and spacecraft nodes.
