This document is a Justification and Approval (J&A) to acquire ground management and integration (GMI) services for the Proliferated Warfighter Space Architecture (PWSA) program through a sole source contract modification with General Dynamics Mission Systems (GDMS). The GMI effort focuses on systems engineering, cross-segment integration, operations center and test infrastructure capability development, and operations and maintenance of the PWSA ground enterprise. Extending the existing PWSA Operations and Integration (O&I) contract with GDMS as the GMI contract is intended to reduce technical and schedule risk associated with new spacecraft requirements and the associated systems engineering, integration, and operations needed to meet SDA's strict timelines. GDMS possesses foundational expertise and experience in conceptualizing, developing, operating, and maintaining SDA's ground architecture. The contract was awarded on 2024-08-30 to an unknown vendor for an unknown amount.
