Sources Sought for SDA Novel Innovation Pipeline for Enhanced Resilience.pdf

This document is a Sources Sought Questionnaire for the SDA (Space Domain Awareness) Novel Innovation Pipeline for Enhanced Resilience. The document seeks information from companies capable of developing innovative software tools to improve existing Space Domain Awareness systems, with the intent of rapidly prototyping technologies from Technology Readiness Level (TRL) 5 up to TRL 8 in support of potential fielding into an operational baseline.

The questionnaire targets companies with experience in developing SDA tools, particularly those with prior work in U.S. Air Force or U.S. Space Force incubator programs. It requests detailed information about companies' capabilities, including previous experience with Department of Defense contracts, prototypes or proof of concepts in SDA innovation pipelines, challenges faced in technology development, and limitations in developing SDA technologies. The document is specifically designed to gather market research for potential multiple-award prototype efforts, with a focus on small businesses and companies working in space-related technology domains.
