26-SIMACQ-C30-0001 GDMS ASSIST LICENSE

Contract N6339426P4001 is a sole-source award to General Dynamics Mission Systems (GDMS) for the procurement of Dynamic ASSIST software and hardware to support Unmanned Surface Vessel Squadron-1 (USVRON1). Administered by the Naval Surface Warfare Center, Port Hueneme Division, the contract focuses on establishing a secure, real-time Common Operating Picture (COP) at the Port Hueneme CBC Base in California. The system is designed to integrate and fuse multiple data streams, including Link 16, JREAP, AIS, Nav Radar, and ICMS, into a unified 2D and 3D tactical display. Key capabilities include secure SIPRNet connectivity, AI-powered decision support for minimally manned operations, and direct interfacing with Littoral Combat Ship (LCS) platforms. The procurement was conducted as a sole-source acquisition under FAR 6.302-1 and 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1) because GDMS holds exclusive proprietary, copyright, and licensing rights to the Dynamic ASSIST software. The government determined that no other vendor possesses the necessary source code or technical architecture to meet these mission-critical requirements without introducing unacceptable operational risks, costs, or schedule delays. While the award notice was posted on February 5, 2026, and the justification was signed on December 2, 2025, specific pricing, contract value, and period of performance dates were not disclosed in the provided documentation.
