Personnel must maintain SECRET security clearance to support this classified monitoring system. Responses to this sources sought notice are due by October 3, 2025, and must demonstrate clear and convincing evidence of capability to meet requirements and show that competition would be advantageous to the Government.
This procurement does not utilize any set-aside designations and is structured as a proposed sole source award to the incumbent contractor, Barnett Engineering & Signaling Laboratories, LLC, located in Colorado Springs, Colorado. The contract is planned as a firm fixed-price arrangement with a five-year period of performance consisting of one base year and four option years, with a forecasted start date of December 6, 2025. The Performance Work Statement indicates the contract will support a complex, multi-site operation requiring specialized technical expertise for classified satellite communications monitoring systems. While no specific contract value is disclosed in the notice, the scope encompasses comprehensive technical support services including system modernization efforts, cloud integration initiatives, and expansion of sensor site capabilities.
