About this opportunity
The Defense Information Systems Agency is soliciting sources for enhancement and sustainment services to the Wideband Remote Monitoring Sensor (WRMS) system, with responses due by September 23, 2026.
The effort will sustain WRMS version 3 (WRMS v3.x), a Government-owned custom software solution that monitors Defense Satellite Communications System and Wideband Global Satellite Communications (WGS) satellites, and will implement user-requested enhancements and address software backlog items. WRMS operates across 15 geographically dispersed DoD sites worldwide, including locations in Maryland, Hawaii, Japan, Germany, and Australia, with primary place of performance at Peterson Space Force Base, Colorado. The system employs micro-services architecture with a hardware-agnostic interface supporting WGS-11 and all prior WGS satellites through synchronized Spectrum Information Gathering or In-beam monitoring modes.
Prospective contractors must possess a Secret Facility Clearance. Core capability requirements include assembling diverse teams capable of quarterly software releases; experience supporting satellite spectrum monitoring systems comparable to WGS; ability to develop or sustain flexible, hardware-agnostic software interfaces supporting multiple COTS or custom hardware solutions; and identification of unique organizational capabilities benefiting WRMS. The contract structure anticipates a one-year base period with four one-year option periods, with targeted award in April 2027. NAICS code 541512 applies with a $34 million size standard. The current incumbent is Northrop Grumman under the SETI vehicle (contract period June 6, 2022 through June 5, 2026). Small businesses must demonstrate Limitations on Subcontracting compliance and describe teaming or joint venture capability if applicable. Responses limited to seven pages must be submitted to Contract Specialist Barb Miner (barbara.d.miner.civ@mail.mil) and Contracting Officer Vanessa Gonzalez (vanessa.m.gonzalez2.civ@mail.mil) by 2:00 PM Central Time on September 23, 2026.
Notice text
This is a SOURCES SOUGHT NOTICE to determine the availability and technical capability of small and large businesses to provide the required products and/or services.
The WRMS E&S requirement falls under Project Officer Wideband Control as part of its mission to acquire and install state-of-the-art strategic satellite network control and planning systems for use with the Defense Satellite Communications System and Wideband Global Satellite Communications (WGS), and to provide satellite monitoring in either synchronized Spectrum Information Gathering or In-beam monitoring modes.
At its most basic level, the primary function of WRMS is to aid the user with the identification and resolution of anomalies detected by the system. Anomalies are presented to the user through the comparison of planned versus actual radio frequency measurement data.
The current contract, now in its last year of execution, provided a spectrum characterization and analysis software from the ground-up coding in micro-services that provided a Government-owned custom software that implements a hardware agnostic interface, all targeted to support the WGS-11 satellite while being able to support all prior WGS satellites. This software and hardware solution is integrated with all current Wideband Control interface subsystems and maintains current performance specifications.
The desired end-result of this forthcoming contract is to sustain this fielded version of WRMS, WRMS version release 3 (WRMS v3.x), and to provide enhancements based on feedback from the users as well as to continue addressing current and new software backlog items. Please see the attached draft Performance Work Statement for more information.
