AI Contract Overview

Show more

The Air Force Material Command’s Air Force Life Cycle Management Center, Long Range Systems Division, intends to award follow-on sole source contracts to Raytheon Missile Systems in Tucson, AZ, under FAR 6.302-1 authority. These contracts will cover the procurement of Miniature Air Launched Decoy-Jammer (MALD-J) production units from Lots 9 through 14, as well as related efforts including parts obsolescence management, sustainment, aircraft integration, non-warranty repairs, technical support, and the development of future MALD variants that do not modify the fundamental vehicle design. Raytheon is the only source capable of fulfilling these requirements as the original producer and sustainment provider with exclusive access to the critical vehicle information and qualified design needed to meet government specifications and delivery timelines. The Air Force currently lacks the developmental funding and technical data package to develop a new MALD system or to contract with alternative suppliers. Consequently, this action utilizes a class justification and approval for sole source contracting with Raytheon. The program is managed at Eglin AFB, FL, with performance at Raytheon’s Tucson facility. For contract-related inquiries, Andrea Matson serves as the Contracting Officer, while Ms. Jill Willingham is the AFLCMC Ombudsman. This procurement ensures continued availability and support for the MALD-J system, a vital capability in the Air Force’s long-range systems portfolio.

The Air Force Material Command, Air Force Life Cycle Management Center, Long Range Systems Division, Miniature Air Launched Decoy (MALD) Branch, AFLCMC/EBJM, intends to utilize a class justification and approval for follow-on sole source contracts under the authority of FAR 6.302-1, to Raytheon Missile Systems( RMS), Tucson, AZ, to procure the following efforts: purchase of present and future annual Miniature Air Launched Decoy-Jammer (MALD-J) Production Units Lots 9-14; parts obsolescence management, sustainment, aircraft integration, non-warranty repair, technical support, and development of any future variants based on the MALD design, provided such development does not alter the basic MALD vehicle design. The only known source that can satisfy these requirements is RMS, the original MALD producer and sustainment provider; because it solely possesses the critical vehicle information and qualified vehicle design to meet Government requirements and delivery schedules. The Air Force has no developmental funding to develop, demonstrate and test a new MALD system and does not own the Technical Data Package/Drawings to provide to other sources. This information serves as notice that the MALD program office will be using a class justification and approval. The AFLCMC Ombudsman is Ms. Jill Willingham, (937) 255-5472. For contractual issues, contact Andrea Matson, Contracting Officer (850) 882-0204 (andrea.matson.1@us.af.mil).

CubeSat Mission 1 – Osiris-3 Payload
Solicitation # 20260120
The Canadian Space Agency intends to award a contract for the provision of the Osiris-3 payload for CubeSat Mission 1, including all design, manufacturing, integration, testing, and mission operations support. The project focuses on an atmospheric remote sensing instrument using limb-scattering spectroscopy to advance Earth observation and atmospheric monitoring. The estimated contract value is between 2.5 million and 3 million CAD, with an expected duration of 36 months. The University of Saskatchewan has been pre-identified as the intended supplier due to its role as the original developer and its possession of the necessary intellectual property, technical expertise, and design authority. While the University of Saskatchewan is the preferred provider to avoid technical risks and schedule delays, other qualified suppliers may submit a Statement of Capabilities by the closing date. Foreground intellectual property developed under the contract will vest in the University of Saskatchewan, though the Government of Canada will be granted a perpetual, royalty-free license for non-commercial use.

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration’s Goddard Space Flight Center is soliciting proposals for the acquisition of the Landsat 10 Spacecraft under RFP 80GSFC26R0015, which supersedes the previous draft issued in May 2026. The contract seeks a spacecraft capable of delivering multi-spectral imagery across visible to shortwave-infrared and thermal infrared bands to support long-term monitoring of Earth’s land surfaces and coastal regions, with a mission objective to operate continuously for at least five years. The spacecraft will be placed in a 653-kilometer sun-synchronous low-Earth orbit and equipped with the Landsat Instrument Suite, providing 26 spectral bands with a ground sampling distance between 10 and 60 meters and a 164-kilometer swath width. NASA will provide the space and launch services segments, while USGS will manage the ground system and mission operations. The contractor is required to deliver detailed analytical models, including 3D CAD, thermal, structural, dynamic, and attitude control subsystem models, as well as comply with stringent environmental standards covering radiation, space charging, magnetics, atomic oxygen, and micrometeoroid/orbital debris exposure, with microcircuit requirements aligned to MIL-STD-883. Key deliverables include the spacecraft and related models to be submitted to the Landsat 10 Project Office, alongside adherence to interface requirements defined in multiple attachments for spacecraft-to-ground, payload-to-launch, and space environmental systems. The response deadline has been extended to August 31, 2026, at 1:00 p.m. EST, and the solicitation includes updated documentation such as the Spacecraft Contractor Standards, a revised Master Equipment List, and a DPAS rating of DO-C9 on the SF-1449 form.
