Performance Enhanced Real-time Ground Environment (PEREGRINE) Sentry

The Space Development Agency (SDA) is preparing to procure through an 18-month firm-fixed-price Other Transaction Agreement (OTA) a lead platform integrator for the Performance Enhanced Real-time Ground Environment (PEREGRINE) Sentry effort, with responses due October 30, 2026. No set-aside applies. The proto­type contract will be followed by a production contract with a three-year base period and two three-year option periods.

The prime contractor must hold active Secret and TS/SCI clearances and a Top Secret Facility Clearance with JWICS-enabled access at production award. The contractor will evolve the current PWSA ground segment into a Modular Open Systems Architecture (MOSA)-compliant framework and manage a secure, multi-tenant common development environment. Core technical capabilities required include hybrid cloud infrastructure and edge compute, modern microservices architectures, DevSecOps automation with CI/CD pipelines, multi-level security with Zero Trust and NSA-approved cross-domain solutions, enterprise data architecture with MLOps, third-party application developer ecosystem management, and Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) as the authoritative source of truth for digital engineering. The contractor will lead integration of mission applications developed by third-party application developers and must address organizational conflict of interest (OCI) restrictions that may preclude competing for mission application development contracts. CUI responses are acceptable for the Sources Sought phase; TS/SCI submissions may be permitted for future proposals. The Government will provide GFE including cloud environments, legacy system technical data, APIs, and RMF packages.

NAICS 541715 applies with a 1,000-employee small business size standard. Interested vendors must submit unclassified technical capabilities statements limited to 13 pages plus uncounted cover page to ussf.pentagon.sda.mbx.sn-26-0016@mail.mil. An industry day is under consideration; the Government has not finalized small business participation expectations or production acquisition strategy.
