Disruptioneering Program Announcement
Solicitation # DARPA-PA-25-07
The DARPA Defense Sciences Office (DSO) Disruptioneering Program, under solicitation DARPA-PA-25-07, seeks to identify and leverage nascent scientific advances for national security through high-risk, high-payoff research. The program utilizes Disruption Opportunities (DOs) to rapidly investigate new concepts, enabling the initiation of unclassified efforts in less than 120 calendar days from inception. Awards are issued as Other Transaction (OT) agreements for prototype projects under 10 U.S.C. § 4022, focusing on proofs of concept, pilots, and the demonstration of technical or operational utility. Proposals are not submitted to the general program announcement but must be responded to via individual DOs. Selection is based on a weighted evaluation of overall scientific and technical merit, potential contribution to the DARPA mission, and price reasonableness, which serves as a mandatory pass/fail gate. Proposals are evaluated on their own individual merit rather than against each other. Awardees must comply with strict cybersecurity standards, including NIST SP 800-171 for safeguarding Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) and reporting cyber incidents. Administrative requirements include registration in the Wide Area Workflow (WAWF) for electronic invoicing and the provision of SAM Unique Entity Identifiers.

This notice revises SDA-SN-25-0024


The Space Development Agency (SDA) intends to award a sole-source contract to General Dynamics Mission Systems (GDMS; CAGE 1VPN8), for the Proliferated Warfighter Space Architecture (PWSA) Tranche 3 (T3) Ground Segment Development (GSD) effort. GDMS shall provide the systems engineering (SE), development and deployment, operations and maintenance (O&M) of Tranche 1 and Tranche 2 ground entry points (GEPs) and operations and maintenance of ground segment capabilities sufficient to enable the T3 Tracking space vehicle mission capabilities and associated space vehicle performer ground system interfaces to be integrated and interoperable within the PWSA GS architecture and enable minimal SDA Custody Layer interface development to support mission status and health related activities within the PWSA GS. The T3 GSD effort will leverage the existing platform/framework; development, test, and operations environments; and mission applications developed under the current GDMS awarded PWSA Ground Management and Integration (GMI) contract, enabling development within the existing software baseline and the continuous integration (CI) continuous delivery/deployment (CD) pipeline. This iterative enhancement of the existing PWSA GS software baseline will ensure development and test resources are available at the appropriate maturity and timeline to support Space and User Segment needs and activities within an aggressive integration, test, and launch readiness campaign.


A sole source award to GDMS is justified in accordance with 10 U.S.C. § 2304(d)(l)(B), as implemented by FAR 6.302-l(a)(2)(ll), as it is likely that award to any other source would result in substantial duplication of cost to the Government that is not expected to be recovered through competition and unacceptable delays in fulfilling the agency's requirements. An organizational assessment of pre-existing Conflict of Interest (COI) exclusions, aligned with the GMI contract award, also supports the determination of sole source award to GDMS. The planned cost-plus contract is anticipated to be awarded in August 2026. The contract will consist of a four (4)-year base period with six (6)  one-year option periods for O&M activities. SDA has solicited industry inputs through a Broad Agency Announcement, to identify approaches to develop and transition from the existing PWSA GS framework/platform and mission applications to enable a future open competition of the Ground Segment to multiple vendors/performers.


This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals and no competitive solicitation will be issued. Any responses to this notice must demonstrate clear and convincing evidence that competition would be advantageous to the Government and would not hinder the timeline or mission objectives of the T3 GSD effort. Any response shall include the following information: 1) the business/demographic information showing responsibility and qualification in accordance with FAR Part 9; 2) specific exception to the intent to procure on a sole source basis; 3) technical data showing the capabilities of the respondent to perform the work listed above. The response must provide clear, convincing and unambiguous evidence to substantiate the capability of the respondent to provide the required services as listed above. A request for documentation or additional information or submissions that only ask questions will not be considered an affirmative response to this notice.


The determination not to compete this proposed contract action is solely within the discretion of the Government. Any responses received will be assessed for the purpose of determining a compelling basis to conduct a competitive procurement. The Government will not be responsible for any costs incurred by responding to this notice. Responses, to include capability statements, proposals or quotations, shall be sent via email only to beatriz.a.estrada.civ@mail.mil (cc: julie.a.foote3.ctr@mail.mil), no later than 17 April 2026, at 1:00 PM PT. It is the responsibility of the respondent to contact the Government to confirm receipt prior to the above due date and time. Responses submitted after this deadline will not be addressed.

SDA Proliferated Warfighter Space Architecture (PWSA) - Systems, Technologies, and Emerging Capabilities (STEC) Broad Agency Announcement (BAA)
Solicitation # FA240126S0001
The Space Development Agency (SDA) is soliciting executive summaries, proposal abstracts, and full proposals under Broad Agency Announcement FA240126S0001 for the Proliferated Warfighter Space Architecture (PWSA) Systems, Technologies, and Emerging Capabilities (STEC). The objective is to identify novel architecture concepts, systems, and technologies that provide leap-ahead improvements for future PWSA tranches and capability layers to meet evolving warfighter needs. Key focus areas include resilient beyond line-of-sight tactical communications, advanced target custody and tracking, alternate position, navigation and timing (PNT), global battle management, and dynamic operations involving autonomous control of space vehicles. Executive summaries and proposal abstracts must be submitted by February 3, 2027, and full proposals are due by March 3, 2027, at 12:00 AM Eastern Time. Proposals must be submitted in two volumes: a Technical and Management Proposal (Volume I) and a Cost Proposal (Volume II). Evaluation is based on cost realism, the realism of the proposed schedule, and the proposer's capabilities and related experience. Awards may be issued as procurement contracts or Other Transaction Agreements (OTAs), with the government maintaining discretion over the instrument type. The agreement requires strict adherence to cybersecurity and data safeguarding standards, including NIST SP 800-171 and 800-172, as well as various DFARS regulations regarding the safeguarding of covered defense information. Proposers must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) and provide a Unique Entity ID and Cage code. Additionally, any proposed work involving classified information requires a detailed security plan. Awardees may also be required to enter into Associate Contractor Agreements (ACAs) with existing PWSA awardees to ensure integration and collaboration.
