About this program
The Mission Planning System (MPS) is a Major Automated Information System (MAIS) defense acquisition program operated under Department of Defense Program Number 394. The program falls under Acquisition Category IAC and utilizes the Major Capability Acquisition (MCA) pathway within the Adaptive Acquisition Framework. As a MAIS program, it represents a significant information technology investment focused on mission planning capabilities for the Department of Defense.
The program's contract awards from 2001-2010 demonstrate a mix of procurement approaches, including both definitive contracts and delivery orders. Award values ranged from approximately $126,000 to $6.3 million, with contract types including both Firm Fixed Price and Time and Materials arrangements. TRW Inc., operating from Carson, California, appears as a significant contractor in the program's history. The contracts show procurement of both hardware components (radio frequency amplifiers) and development services, with no small business set-asides utilized in the reviewed awards. While one contract specified a ceiling value of $126,346, another had no specified ceiling despite a $6.32 million obligation, suggesting varying levels of scope definition across different procurement actions.
