GPS Ground Segment Monitor Station Service (MSS)

Solicitation # SSC-GCS-MSS-SSN-2026

The United States Space Force is issuing a Sources Sought Notice (SSC-GCS-MSS-SSN-2026) to conduct market research for a modernized Monitor Station Service (MSS). The primary goal is to replace aging ground receiver infrastructure within the GPS Ground Control Segment, as 11 of the 17 global monitor stations are expected to become obsolete by late 2028. The required solution must provide simultaneous multi-frequency and multi-code tracking for legacy, modernized civil (CNAV), and military (MNAV) signals to ensure the continued accuracy of the Kalman Filter orbit and clock estimation engine. The government is seeking capabilities for an integrated, secure architecture utilizing a Modular Open Systems Approach (MOSA) and adhering to strict safety-of-life and cryptographic security standards. The acquisition is planned in three phases: replacing operational P(Y) data feeds by late 2028, delivering remaining core capabilities by late 2030, and introducing additional enhancements by 2032. Interested respondents must possess a Secret Facility Clearance and submit a statement of capability by December 8, 2026, detailing their technical maturity, programmatic strategy, and a rough order of magnitude cost estimate.

The network will be structured around a centralized Data Coordinating Center (DCC) and Federated Clinical Sites (FCS) located in diverse settings, including community mental health centers, VA medical centers, and emergency departments. The project is divided into two operational stages: Stage 1 (Years 1–2) focuses on network establishment, site onboarding, and pilot studies to determine safety, feasibility, and costs. Stage 2 (Years 3–5) involves the full-scale execution of unified pragmatic trials. Key requirements include the use of NIMH-supported Common Data Elements for data harmonization and the establishment of automated pipelines for data deposition into the NIMH Data Archive. Applicants must provide letters of collaboration for clinical site commitments and adhere to strict cybersecurity guidelines. Evaluation is based on scientific merit, study design, ethical considerations, and the ability of the DCC to manage multi-site governance and safety monitoring. Applications must be submitted by June 10, 2027, and require active SAM and eRA Commons registrations.
