Kill-web Operations Sustainment & Maintenance Of SDA (Space Domain Awareness) Systems (KOSMOSS) Update for IndustryThe Government is providing an update regarding the Kill-web Operations Sustainment & Maintenance of SDA Systems (KOSMOSS) initiative, clarifying that it will not pursue a new standalone contract vehicle. Instead, existing multiple award IDIQ contracts will be leveraged to fulfill requirements, with each task order competed individually and timed to align with evolving operational needs across several years. This shift reflects strategic resource allocation and leadership direction to optimize acquisition efficiency rather than establish new contracting mechanisms. Industry is encouraged to engage through future industry days, SAM.gov postings, and targeted research on applicable IDIQ vehicles as requirements and acquisition timelines solidify. All inquiries related to KOSMOSS should be directed to the primary point of contact, Bradley Kettlewell, and secondary contact, Julia Kalp-Johnson, both reachable via SSC.PKL.SDA@spaceforce.mil. The notice was posted on July 17, 2026, with responses due by October 31, 2026, under the NAICS code 541330 for scientific and technical consulting services.
