Redacted J&A, Sole Source to Intuitive Research and Technology Corporation

The contract pertains to a sole-source acquisition justification and approval amendment, issued under FAR 6.103-1, awarding work to Intuitive Research and Technology Corporation for the development and deployment of advanced geospatial intelligence systems, specifically GUNSS powered by ACE-M, to support Battle Space Awareness and the kill chain for U.S. military operations under Operation Epic Fury. The system delivers real-time target identification, tracking, assessment, and intelligence fusion using machine learning and artificial intelligence, supporting joint force operations across Navy, Air Force, SOCOM, and STRATCOM domains. Performance is centered in Huntsville, Alabama, with the contracting office located at Redstone Arsenal, and the procurement is authorized under statutory authority 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1), funded by the Department of Defense. The justification cites a lack of alternative sources capable of delivering the specialized, classified capabilities required, with no competitive solicitation conducted. The contract is amended via SPRRA224D0014_AMD001, triggered by operational urgency to increase funding ceilings, though actual financial values remain redacted. No pricing, contract type, delivery schedules, or inspection criteria are disclosed, and the scope involves highly sensitive, classified information requiring personnel with Top Secret/SCI clearances to handle multi-intelligence data streams. Although representations, certifications, and detailed clauses are not accessible due to redactions, the nature of the mission implies stringent security protocols, compliance with national security directives, and the potential use of classified annexes not available in public documentation. The primary point of contact is Lauren Tatum of DLA Aviation at Redstone Arsenal, with contracting oversight from MALLORY R. MEDLEY and competition advocacy by NIKKI HENDRIX.
