AI Contract Overview
The Department of Defense, through the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) Cheyenne Mountain Complex-Integrated Tactical Warning/Attack Assessment (NCMC-ITW/AA) Program Office, intends to negotiate a sole source bridge contract with Amentum Technology, Inc. This contract, designated FA8723-26-R-B007, will ensure continuous operations, maintenance, and sustainment (OM&S) of existing NISSC II systems. The bridge action is necessary due to delays in awarding the follow-on NISSC III contract caused by a government shutdown, requiring an extension to maintain uninterrupted contractor support and mission capability at several critical locations including Cheyenne Mountain Space Force Station, Peterson Space Force Base, and others globally. The proposed period of performance includes a four-month base term with up to three additional one-month options to accommodate the transition and protest period. Amentum is the incumbent contractor currently providing comprehensive technical and security services that include maintaining Authority to Operate certifications and personnel with required Secret and Top-Secret security clearances holding SCI read-ins. Sole source procurement authority is cited under 10 USC 2304(a)(1). While other companies may express interest within seven days from the notice, proposals will not be solicited formally. The contract employs a Cost-Plus-Incentive-Fee structure, and this action falls outside the scope of the original General Services Administration OASIS IDIQ ordering period. Interested parties are encouraged to submit capability statements but should note no solicitation will be posted publicly. The NAICS code applicable for this bridge action is 541330, consistent with the original NISSC II award. The primary points of contact for further information and draft documentation are Heather Baldwin and Nyles Duffield at the Space Systems Command, located at Peterson AFB, Colorado.

Battle Management, Command, Control, Communications, and Space Intelligence (BMC3I), Space Systems Command (SSC), System Delta 85 (SYD 85)
North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) Cheyenne Mountain Complex-Integrated Tactical Warning/Attack Assessment (NCMC-ITW/AA) Program Office, intends to negotiate on a sole source basis with Amentum Technology, Inc. (CAGE Code: 07486) Amentum NORAD Operations Division, 2221 East Bijou Street, Suite 120, Colorado Springs, Colorado, 80909, United States. Cost-Plus-Incentive-Fee contract type; stand-alone contract General Services Administration One Acquisition Solution for Integrated Services Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (GSA OASIS IDIQ) ordering period ended.
The existing Task Order, using the Extension of Services clause 52.217-08, ends December 25, 2026. The follow-on North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) Cheyenne Mountain Complex (NCMC) – Integrated Tactical Warning/Attack Assessment (NCMC-ITW/AA) and Space Support Contract III (NISSC III) FOPR FA8723-24-R-0014 is in source selection, originally scheduled for award in June 2026 with a four-month transition. Due to a 45-day government shutdown, the award will be delayed. To ensure a full transition and allow time for funding, a bridge action is required to ensure continuity of services and prevent a break in contractor support during the extended source selection process.
NCMC/ITW-AA Program Office requires the continued operations, maintenance, and sustainment (OM&S) of the baselines NISSC II-covered systems (see Appendix F, NISSC II Systems and Locations Table). The period of performance is a four (4) month base, with additional one-month-options, estimating three (3) may be required to cover the amount of time required to clear the protest period and four-month transition from NISSC II to NISSC III.
Amentum is the only contractor capable of meeting these requirements without unacceptable delays, preventing mission capability gaps. As the incumbent, Amentum currently provides OM&S for NISSC II systems, ensuring system integrity, classified communications, and processing for Command and Control (C2) at Cheyenne Mountain Space Force Station (CMSFS), Peterson Space Force Base (PSFB), Offutt Air Force Base (OAFB), Vandenberg Space Force Base (VSFB), and other global sites under NISSC II TO FA8723-20-F-9001 (OASIS GS00Q14OADU120). The requirement includes maintaining Authority to Operate (ATO) certifications for multiple systems and highly skilled personnel with active Secret and Top-Secret security clearances with SCI read-ins.
The statutory authority for sole source procurement is 10 USC 2304(a)(1), as implemented by RFO 6.104-1(a)(3). Justification and Approval is in routing. Companies who believe they can provide this service must indicate their interest in writing within seven (7) days of this notification and include a detailed capability statement to include a proposed timeline of overcoming unexpected delays. The Government will not reimburse costs for capability information. All responsible sources will be considered, but proposals cannot be accepted as this is not a request for proposal. No solicitation will be posted to SAM.gov. Vendors may send correspondence to the following addresses: heather.baldwin.4@spaceforce.mil and nyles.duffield@spaceforce.mil. All responsible sources will be considered for evaluating the determination. A determination by the Government not to compete with this proposed contract based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. The North American Classification System (NAICS) code 541330 will be used for determining company size status. The NAICS listed is what NISSC II was awarded under (NISSC 3 shows 541512).
