Oversight

The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency seeks proposals through a Broad Agency Announcement for Phase 1 of its Oversight program. Oversight aims to provide constant custody of up to 1,000 high-value targets at scale through autonomous management of dynamic space-based resources to support monitoring in both peacetime and contested environments. Proposals are solicited to design integrated software services and will be evaluated based on technical approach, management plan, and estimated costs, with proposals due by April 11, 2022 for awards up to $21 million over base periods of up to 15 months.

There is no set-aside designation. Proposals should address work under NAICS code 541715 and PSC code D308. Multiple awards are anticipated for Phase 1 work under contracts or other transactions agreements to demonstrate an integrated software architecture and initial capabilities for continuous monitoring from space, where resources and targets frequently change over the anticipated 15-month base period.
