AI Contract Overview

The United States Space Force Space Systems Command is conducting market research for an Overhead Persistent Infrared research and development effort to support the Wide Field of View Testbed Wide-Area Six Degree Payload. While the agency intends to sole source the requirement to L3-Harris, it is seeking other capable vendors to ensure a competitive procurement process. The project focuses on the calibration, characterization, and on-orbit support of a proprietary refractive telescope and focal plane array integrated into a Millennium Space Systems spacecraft in geostationary orbit. Selected contractors must possess deep technical expertise in the specific optical and thermal design of the payload, as well as familiarity with its custom electronics, FPGAs, and software. Key responsibilities include developing operational procedures, performing anomaly investigations, updating firmware, and maintaining hardware configurations. The effort requires personnel with Secret and TS/SCI clearances and will be performed across multiple locations in Boulder, Colorado, and Blossom Point, Maryland. The anticipated contract award is slated for the first quarter of fiscal year 2027.
