This notice revises SDA-SN-25-0024
The Space Development Agency (SDA) intends to award a sole-source contract to General Dynamics Mission Systems (GDMS; CAGE 1VPN8), for the Proliferated Warfighter Space Architecture (PWSA) Tranche 3 (T3) Ground Segment Development (GSD) effort. GDMS shall provide the systems engineering (SE), development and deployment, operations and maintenance (O&M) of Tranche 1 and Tranche 2 ground entry points (GEPs) and operations and maintenance of ground segment capabilities sufficient to enable the T3 Tracking space vehicle mission capabilities and associated space vehicle performer ground system interfaces to be integrated and interoperable within the PWSA GS architecture and enable minimal SDA Custody Layer interface development to support mission status and health related activities within the PWSA GS. The T3 GSD effort will leverage the existing platform/framework; development, test, and operations environments; and mission applications developed under the current GDMS awarded PWSA Ground Management and Integration (GMI) contract, enabling development within the existing software baseline and the continuous integration (CI) continuous delivery/deployment (CD) pipeline. This iterative enhancement of the existing PWSA GS software baseline will ensure development and test resources are available at the appropriate maturity and timeline to support Space and User Segment needs and activities within an aggressive integration, test, and launch readiness campaign.
A sole source award to GDMS is justified in accordance with 10 U.S.C. § 2304(d)(l)(B), as implemented by FAR 6.302-l(a)(2)(ll), as it is likely that award to any other source would result in substantial duplication of cost to the Government that is not expected to be recovered through competition and unacceptable delays in fulfilling the agency's requirements. An organizational assessment of pre-existing Conflict of Interest (COI) exclusions, aligned with the GMI contract award...
