About this opportunity
The Space Development Agency (SDA) is seeking proposals for the Tranche 3 Program Integration (T3PI) effort, which supports the Proliferated Warfighter Space Architecture (PWSA). The solicitation seeks systems engineering and integration services to extend space-based capabilities for Joint Warfighter missions, focusing on advancing missile warning, tracking, tactical data links, position/navigation/timing resilience, and target tracking capabilities. Proposals will be evaluated across seven factors including program management, technical approach, past performance, organizational conflict of interest, security, small business participation, and cost/price, with technical factors being approximately equal in importance to pricing. Key personnel must possess Top Secret clearances with SCI eligibility, and large businesses must commit to a minimum 5% small business participation. Potential offerors must submit questions by January 8, 2025, and proposals are due by January 31, 2025 at 1200 EST, with an anticipated contract award in Q3 FY25.
The solicitation is not set aside for any specific business category and will be a full and open competition. The contract will have a five-year period of performance from May 1, 2025 through April 30, 2030, with a complex contract structure involving Cost Plus Award Fee (CPAF), Cost Reimbursable (CR), Cost Plus Fixed Fee (CPFF), and Incentive Fee (IF) contract line items. While specific award value details are not explicitly stated, the contract includes multiple funding CLINs with varying fee structures, including a 12% maximum award fee for development and integration work. The primary place of performance will be in Chantilly, VA, and the contract aims to support the development of next-generation space vehicles and ground segment elements. Contractors will be required to enter into Associate Contractor Agreements with other Tranche 3 contractors and must have or be able to obtain the necessary security clearances to handle both unclassified and Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) materials.

The Space Development Agency (SDA) is releasing a final request for proposals for the Tranche 3 Program Integration (T3PI) effort of the Proliferated Warfighter Space Architecture (PWSA). This solicitation seeks industry proposals to provide systems engineering and integration activities supporting the T3 program, which will extend the PWSA through the acquisition and integration of the next generation of space vehicles (SV) and associated ground segment (GS) elements.
BACKGROUND
SDA’s mission is to rapidly deliver space-based capabilities to the Joint Warfighter in support of missions worldwide. SDA endeavors to fulfill this mission through the acquisition, operation, and continuous evolution of the PWSA in a manner that enables our Joint Force to deter and, if necessary, defeat emerging adversarial threats.
SDA’s T3 programs will provide sustained capability with advances over Tranche 2 in capabilities such as coverage, sensitivity, and accuracy of missile warning, tracking, and defense capabilities; coverage, resilience, and capacity of tactical data links; position, navigation, and timing (PNT) resilience, accuracy of PNT solutions, and distribution of PNT solutions to users; continuous custody of target tracks and mission and network management performance and responsiveness enabled by autonomy. T3PI will facilitate the delivery of T3 Tracking, T3 Transport, and T3 Custody Layer, provide integration with the PWSA ground and user segments, and advance the operational PWSA. The T3 Custody Layer is an envisioned future layer of the PWSA that would add the capability of continuous custody of target tracks.
