About this opportunity
The Department of the Air Force published a Limited / Sole Source Justification Notice 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. The contract was awarded on 2024-08-30 to an unknown vendor for an unknown amount.
Notice text
J&A to justify acquisition of the following services, under a contract modification, without providing for full and open competition.
Program Name: Proliferated Warfighter Space Architecture (PWSA) Ground Management and Integration (GMI).
Description of Services: The GMI effort is focused on systems engineering and cross
segment integration; operations center and test infrastructure capability
development; and operations, and maintenance (O&M) of the PWSA ground
enterprise. Initial ground architecture development, systems engineering and cross
segment integration, and operations center and test infrastructure instantiation
under the Tranche 1 (T1) Operations and Integration (O&I) effort is a key building
block and initial pathfinder to the PWSA GMI effort. Continued technical and
operational support from General Dynamics Mission Systems (GDMS) is critical
to ensure that the PWSA ground architecture and capabilities are available at the
appropriate maturity and responsive to mission and operational needs. GDMS
possesses foundational expertise and experience conceptualizing, developing,
operating, and maintaining SDA’s ground architecture, including close
coordination in the systems engineering, integration, and interface definition of
space to ground requirements with spacecraft development vendors. SDA’s
objective in continuing PWSA ground evolution based on extending the T1 O&I
contract as the PWSA GMI contract with the same Contractor performer is to
reduce technical and schedule risk associated with new spacecraft requirements,
and the associated systems engineering, space vehicle launch and capability
integration, and operations maturity needed to meet SDA’s strict test and readiness
timelines. GDMS’s expertise will continue to be critical in meeting SDA’s future
Tranche objectives in the 2023-2029 timeframe, to extend the PWSA ground to
support new SDA space assets and the associated warfighter mission critical
capabilities that will be delivered through their payloads.
See attached J&A for additional details.
Awarded contract HQ085022C0007 to unknown vendor for unknown amount on 2024-08-30.
