The Department of the Army Materiel Command Contracting Command Redstone Arsenal is seeking engineering services for the Integrated Air and Missile Defense (IAMD) Battle Command System (IBCS) Ground Systems Maintenance and Optimization (GSM&O). This procurement covers engineering support for maintenance and optimization of IBCS Fire Control and Launcher Integrated Network Kit (LINK) on Enhanced Launcher Electronics System (ELES) software, as well as IBCS ELES software engineering support specifically related to PATRIOT Advanced Capability-3 (PAC-3) systems. The government intends to sole source this contract to Lockheed Martin Missiles and Fire Control (LMMFC) based in Grand Prairie, Texas, citing FAR Part 6.302-1(a)(2)(iii)(A) and (B) as justification that LMMFC is the only source with the necessary knowledge, expertise, and full technical data package to perform this work. The government lacks the intellectual property rights needed to conduct full and open competition for this requirement. The pre-solicitation notice was posted on June 25, 2025, with a response deadline of July 11, 2025.

This opportunity does not include any set-aside designations and falls under NAICS code 541330 for Engineering Services and PSC code J014 for Maintenance/Repair/Rebuild of Equipment for Guided Missiles. Lockheed Martin Missiles and Fire Control, with CAGE code 64059, is identified as the proposed sole source contractor due to their exclusive access to the technical data package and specialized expertise required for the IBCS and PATRIOT systems. The contracting opportunity represents a defense-related procurement focused on maintaining and optimizing critical air and missile defense capabilities. No specific contract values, quantities, or performance timelines are disclosed in this pre-solicitation notice. The sole source justification indicates that the government's lack of intellectual property rights prevents competitive bidding, making LMMFC the only viable contractor for this specialized defense systems engineering work.
