The Strategic Systems Programs (SSP) of the Department of Defense awarded a sole-source contract to Systems Planning and Analysis, Inc. (SPA), based in Alexandria, Virginia, to provide critical technical and program management support. The scope of work encompasses four primary areas: the U.S. Columbia Class Submarine joint U.S./UK Common Missile Compartment Program, the D5 Life Extension 2 Program, SSP Facilities Management, Activation and Assessment, and Missile Systems. This award was justified under 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) due to SPA's 35 years of specialized experience, with the agency noting that introducing a new contractor would result in unacceptable delays. The contract became effective on October 1, 2023, with an official award date of November 8, 2023. It is structured with a base year for fiscal year 2024 and four subsequent option years extending through fiscal year 2028. Financial terms are established on a Cost-Plus-Fixed-Fee basis using Level-of-Effort line items, each covering a twelve-month period. Additionally, the agreement includes a provision allowing the government to increase the Level-of-Effort by up to thirty percent in accordance with established SSP terms and conditions.
