About this opportunity
The Department of the Air Force's Space Systems Command issued this sole source justification for a contract modification to continue the Mobile User Objective System (MUOS) Service Life Extension Phase 1 Program, awarded to Lockheed Martin Corporation under contract FA880724CB001 on July 31, 2025. The contract provides engineering services for risk reduction and early design activities aimed at retrofitting and modernizing the MUOS satellite system to maintain interoperability through 2031. The sole source justification is based on multiple market research efforts conducted from 2019-2024, which confirmed that only Lockheed Martin and Boeing possess the necessary technical expertise to perform the complex satellite system modernization work. The contract modification extends the current work for six months with six additional one-month options, funded through Research, Development, Test & Evaluation resources, though the specific contract value remains undisclosed. This Phase 1 work will support the transition to Phase 2, which will involve final satellite design, production, and delivery, with the government noting this will be the final MUOS space vehicle acquisition effort.
