AI Contract Overview

Show more

Space Ground System Solutions Inc. has been awarded a cost-plus-fixed-fee indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contract for research and development in satellite software and operations support, with a total ceiling value of $245 million. The contract was competitively awarded on a cost-type basis due to the advanced and uncertain nature of the R&D work, making a fixed-price arrangement unsuitable. A second initial task order was issued under this contract, comprising a 12-month base period valued at $29,307,694.26 and four additional 12-month option periods, bringing the total potential value of the task order to $191,425,544.17 if all options are exercised. The work is being performed for the Naval Research Laboratory under the Department of Defense, with performance centered in Washington, D.C., and no specific set-aside status applied. The solicitation number is N0017326F2408, and the contract was posted on June 29, 2026, under NAICS code 541715. Primary point of contact is Candice Tawiah, with Maggie Alston as secondary contact, both reachable through U.S. Navy email addresses.

Synthetic Training Environment (STE) Virtual Software (VSW)
Solicitation # STE-VSW-26-0006
The Army Contracting Command - Aberdeen Proving Grounds Orlando Division, on behalf of the Capability Program Executive Simulation, Training, Test and Threat, is issuing a Call for Solutions for the Synthetic Training Environment Virtual Software program. This effort seeks a modernized virtual software ecosystem to achieve four primary operational outcomes: a doctrinal gate to live fire, a true combined arms environment, full mission command concurrency, and an open system architecture with published SDKs and APIs. The total combined value of all awarded lots is approximately 250 million dollars. The acquisition is structured around five capability lots, including Common Core Software and Simulation Application Software, with a phased selection process involving initial technical validation, down-selects, and demonstration pitches. The evaluation process prioritizes technical schedule, technical approach, and recent relevant experience from the last three years. A key requirement is the blind assessment of technical concepts to ensure objectivity, requiring offerors to genericize all identifying company information in their submissions. Technical solutions must demonstrate high commercial maturity, typically TRL 8 or 9, and adhere to strict security-by-design principles, including the delivery of Software Bill of Materials and alignment with RMF and FedRAMP authorizations. To prevent organizational conflicts of interest, any entity performing on Lot 5 is prohibited from participating in Lots 1, 2, or 4. The anticipated award date for the lots is November 13, 2026, following a rigorous schedule of industry days, solution submissions, and technical demonstrations.

Missile Defense Agency - Advanced Capability Concepts
Solicitation # HQ0860-25-S-C001
The Missile Defense Agency (MDA) has issued solicitation HQ0860-25-S-C001 for its Advanced Capability Concepts program, an ongoing opportunity open from May 9, 2025, to May 8, 2030. The agency seeks innovative concepts, scientific breakthroughs, and prototype demonstrations to enhance the robustness and effectiveness of all Missile Defense System elements. Key focus areas include kinetic and hypersonic defense, command and control battle management, integrated non-kinetic and electronic warfare, and disruptive technologies such as AI/ML, resilient networking, and advanced sensors. This is a two-step process where industry is invited to submit white papers on a rolling basis, which are then evaluated for potential negotiation and award. Submissions must follow strict formatting guidelines, including a 10-page limit for the combined executive summary and program description, and must include a Rough Order of Magnitude cost estimate and a program summary quad chart. Awards may be structured as either FAR-based procurement contracts or Other Transaction (OT) agreements, depending on the offeror's recommendation and eligibility. Evaluation is based on a trade-off process prioritizing technical achievement, research capabilities, and program management. Offerors must maintain active SAM.gov registration, disclose any organizational conflicts of interest, and comply with NIST SP 800-171 for safeguarding controlled unclassified information. Performance is centered in Huntsville, Alabama, though the agency emphasizes rapid development and compressed timelines for the transition of breakthroughs into acquisition programs.

Rohde & Schwarz brand-name FSWX Signal Analyzer and Vector Signal Generator
Solicitation # N0017326QTS12
The Naval Research Laboratory, under the Department of Defense, is soliciting quotes for the procurement of a brand name Rohde and Schwarz FSWX Signal Analyzer and SMW200A Vector Signal Generator under solicitation number N0017326QTS12. This is a combined synopsis and solicitation for commercial products issued as a Firm Fixed Price procurement. Due to the Non Manufacturer Rule and the lack of a class waiver for NAICS 334515, the acquisition is not set aside for small businesses, although all authorized resellers are encouraged to apply. The procurement is justified as a brand name requirement because specific technical needs for electromagnetic emitter replication and software interoperability make Rohde and Schwarz the only viable solution.
