SDA released a DRAFT solicitation for the Proliferated Warfighter Space Architecture (PWSA) Futures Program (PFP), Ground Segment Integration (PGI). The draft solicitation provides an opportunity for industry to review and offer feedback in advance of final solicitation posting.

SDA plans to build a PWSA PFP ground segment to support SDA’s Emerging Capabilities mission. SDA will deliver a ground segment to provide a service for managing shared ground resources; fit-out and manage a government-owned, contractor-operated facility called the Demonstration Operations Center; and provide a structured environment for cloud-based data processing.  

The purpose of this draft solicitation is to inform industry of the Government’s requirements and allow industry to provide comments on the solicitation via a comment resolution matrix.
