Description
The Space Development Agency (SDA) intends to issue a sole source, Firm-Fixed-Price (FFP) contract (travel/ODCs will be cost reimbursement/no fee) for nonrecurring engineering labor associated with Advanced Simulation Combat Operations Trainer 7 (ASCOT 7) software to support Exercise Training for Tranche 1 of the Proliferated Warfighter Space Architecture (PSWA) program to PLExSYS Interface Products, Inc (CAGE: 0NH96) of 4900 NW Camas Meadows Dr, Camas, WA 98607.
The PLExSYS ASCOT 7 software uniquely combines native Link 16, high-fidelity orbital models, and full LVC session management in a single package. ASCOT 7 is the only solution that meets all SDA requirements out-of-the-box: high-fidelity orbital propagation, native Link 16 automatic message handling, seamless integration, and enterprise-grade JLVC connectivity with minimal integration overhead. Its demonstrated use in large-scale distributed simulation makes it the best fit for SDA. As the sole manufacturer of ASCOT 7, PLExSYS is the only contractor capable of providing the support required to develop spiraling requirements for Tranche 1 of the PWSA and future SDA digital mission threads. The estimated period of performance is less than 12 months and the estimated dollar amount is $1.5M. Award is anticipated in September 2025.
PLExSYS, the sole manufacturer of ASCOT, retains exclusive rights to the components, data, and proprietary information required for system maintenance and software upgrades. They do not license this information to third parties, making them the only source capable of providing the necessary support.
