SDA Proliferated Warfighter Space Architecture (PWSA) - Systems, Technologies, and Emerging Capabilities (STEC) Broad Agency Announcement (BAA)

The Space Development Agency is soliciting executive summaries, proposal abstracts, and full proposals under Broad Agency Announcement FA240126S0001 for the Proliferated Warfighter Space Architecture Systems, Technologies, and Emerging Capabilities program. The initiative seeks novel architecture concepts, systems, and technologies to provide leap-ahead improvements for future PWSA tranches and capability layers. Primary focus areas include resilient beyond line-of-sight tactical communications, advanced target custody, warning, tracking and defeat, alternate position, navigation and timing, global battle management, and dynamic operations involving coordinated autonomous control of space vehicles or payloads. Executive summaries are due by February 3, 2027, and full proposals must be submitted by March 3, 2027. Awards may be issued as procurement contracts or Other Transaction Agreements, with the government maintaining sole discretion over the instrument type. Evaluation is based on cost realism, the realism of the proposed schedule, and the proposer's capabilities and related experience. Proposals must be submitted in two volumes: a technical and management proposal and a cost proposal. Key requirements include registration in the System for Award Management, compliance with NIST 800-171 and 800-172 cybersecurity standards, and the disclosure of any organizational conflicts of interest. For those awarded Other Transaction Agreements, invoicing and payment are managed through the Wide Area Workflow system.
