Area of Interest: OSW Cost Assessment and Program Evaluation (CAPE) Modeling and Simulation

Solicitation # HQ003427AOI5

The Department of War Cost Assessment and Program Evaluation CAPE is seeking innovative commercial solutions to replace its legacy modeling and simulation infrastructure with a next-generation computational backbone. The objective is to modernize decision support by implementing a three-layer architecture consisting of a high-performance simulation execution layer, a machine-learned surrogate emulation layer for government-developed models, and an intuitive self-service quantitative analysis layer. This system must dramatically increase throughput, with the capability to execute between 1,200 simulations in 10 hours for light cases and up to 150,000 simulations within two weeks for heavy joint campaign cases. The required solution must operate at Impact Level 6 security accreditation to be accessible from secure spaces at the Pentagon and Mark Center, supporting network throughput between 100 Mbps and 1 Gbps. Technical requirements include compatibility with Python, R, Java, PyTorch, GAMS, and containerized processes. While the commercial provider will manage turnkey platform and infrastructure IT operations, including cybersecurity hardening and patching, the government will retain full operational tenant administration and control over data and user access. This procurement is being conducted as a Commercial Solutions Opening with a Rough Order of Magnitude estimate between 3 million and 22 million dollars. Phase I evaluations focus on the relevance of the solution brief, specifically regarding technical ability, scalability, and security posture. Initial operational capability is anticipated in FY27, with full operational capability expected in FY28. Solution briefs are due by November 16, 2026.

Space Data Network (SDN) Industry Consortium for Space-to-Space Communications

Solicitation # SDN-CONSORT-27-01

The Space Systems Command’s Space Data Network Backbone (SDN-B) program office is establishing the Space Data Network (SDN) Industry Consortium to develop a proliferated, vendor-diverse space-to-space communications mesh in Low Earth Orbit (LEO). This initiative seeks to create a public-private partnership to solve technical integration and architectural challenges, specifically focusing on domains such as Optical Inter-Satellite Links (OISL), RF mesh communications, space networking and routing, and cybersecurity. Selected industry members will join as Associate Members under a $0-value Other Transaction Agreement (OTA) pursuant to 10 U.S.C. § 4022, participating in technical working groups and interoperability assessments. Membership is strictly limited to U.S.-owned and operated entities with active SAM.gov registrations under NAICS 541715. Applicants must demonstrate the ability to handle Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) in compliance with NIST SP 800-171 and DoD CMMC standards, though higher security clearances are welcomed.

Prototype development for Battlefield Wound Infection Prevention and Treatment (BWI P&T) Barrier Combination

Solicitation # HT9427-26-R-E020

The Defense Health Agency Contracting Activity is seeking a single award for the development of a Battlefield Wound Infection Prevention and Treatment Barrier Combination prototype. This medical product must integrate a physical wound barrier with antimicrobial and antifungal properties to prevent systemic infections in combat scenarios. The project is being executed under prototype Other Transaction Authority 10 U.S.C. 4022, meaning it does not follow standard FAR-based procurement. The goal is to advance the technology from a preferred starting point of Technology Readiness Level 5 to TRL 7 at the time of FDA submission, and TRL 8 upon final FDA approval or clearance. The scope of work includes preclinical testing, human clinical trials, and the submission of regulatory packages for FDA approval. Key deliverables include a working prototype of 50 units, a quality management plan, and comprehensive technical documentation. The final product must be compact, waterproof, and capable of being opened with one hand in low-light environments, while maintaining stability in temperatures ranging from 0 to 110 degrees Fahrenheit. Proposals are due by November 20, 2026, and must be submitted in three separate volumes covering technical, management, and administrative/cost details. The government prefers a Firm Fixed Price agreement but will consider Cost Plus Fixed Fee structures.

AI Contract Overview

The contract is a sole-source bridge agreement issued under GSA Contract 47QRAA18D00FQ with Delivery Order FA881026FB003 to Stellar Solutions, Inc., authorized under GSAR 538.7104-3(b)(i) and (b)(ii) due to unusual urgency and the unique, highly specialized capabilities of the incumbent contractor. The purpose is to sustain critical Overhead Persistent Infrared (OPIR) mission support for the U.S. Space Force’s Space Sensing Directorate, ensuring continuity in Wide Field of View (WFOV) operations, Next Generation GEO System of Systems Integration (NGG SOSI), MEO Track Custody (MTC) acquisitions, and Boulder Ground Innovation Facility (BGIF) operations during the gap between the expiration of the prior contract on June 9, 2026, and the anticipated award of the follow-on STS-4 contract at the end of calendar year 2026. The estimated value is $33,801,841, with performance primarily based in Los Altos, California, though key activities occur at multiple locations including El Segundo, California, and Boulder, Colorado, to support mission-critical space systems. The award bypasses competitive procedures because Stellar Solutions, Inc. is the only entity with irreplaceable institutional knowledge and direct operational experience in these classified, mission-essential areas, making replacement a high risk to national security capabilities. Special contractual requirements include an approved organizational conflict of interest mitigation plan that permits personnel to participate in source selection for successor contracts, an implicit requirement for Top Secret/Sensitive Compartmented Information (TS/SCI) clearances, and a specific obligation to facilitate a seamless transition by transferring knowledge, tools, and operational processes to the future contractor. The contract has no defined option periods or extended duration beyond the bridge period and is not structured as a fixed-price or indefinite-delivery contract under standard FAR classifications. No detailed line-item pricing, packaging requirements, inspection criteria, or invoicing procedures are specified in the available documentation. The contracting office is located in El Segundo, California, with Judy Hudson as the primary point of contact, and the agency is the Department of Defense’s Space Systems Command. The justification emphasizes that any delay or interruption in service would directly impact missile warning, space domain awareness, and initial launch capability milestones, establishing the non-negotiable nature of the sole-source action.
