Systems, Technologies, and Emerging Capabilities Broad Agency Announcement

The Space Development Agency (SDA) is soliciting executive summaries, proposal abstracts, and proposals for novel architecture concepts, systems, technologies, and capabilities that enable leap-ahead improvements for future Proliferated Warfighter Space Architecture (PWSA) tranches, capability layers, or, enable new capability layers to address other emerging or evolving warfighter needs.

NOTE - Although not required, SDA strongly encourages submitting an executive summary in advance of a full proposal to ensure interest and potential funding availability. SDA releases an updated Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) on an annual basis. Because SDA strives to always maintain an active BAA with similar focus areas, proposers are discouraged from submitting uninvited full proposals shortly before the BAA proposal due date simply to meet the submission deadline. They should consider instead submitting an executive summary to the subsequent BAA.

Amendment 1 - Call for Proposals for Studies for On-demand Space Vehicle De-orbit as a Service Under the Systems, Technologies, and Emerging Capabilities (STEC) Broad Agency Announcement, FA240124S0001, posted on sam.gov on January 16, 2024, the Space Development Agency (SDA) is issuing this Call for Proposals for full proposals for engineering studies, analyses, and technical trades to support assisted, on-demand space vehicle de-orbit as a service for the Proliferated Warfighter Space Architecture (PWSA). Potential offerors are encouraged to submit proposals by May 30, 2024. Pleasse see the attached Call for Proposals for details. (End of Amendment)

Amendment 2 - Call for Proposals for Studies for On-demand Space Vehicle De-orbit as a Service - Correct Desired Proposal Receipt Date The announcement is amended to replace the last two sentences with the following:

"Potential offerors are encouraged to submit proposals by May 1, 2024. Pleasse see the attached Call for Proposals for details." This change makes the description consistent with the .pdf document.

Amendment 3 - Call for Proposals for Space Data Transport Network Orchestration Capability Under the Systems, Technologies, and Emerging Capabilities (STEC) Space Development Agency (SDA) Broad Agency Announcement, FA240124S0001, posted on SAM.gov on January 16, 2024, SDA is issuing this Call for Proposals.

SDA is soliciting full proposals to perform engineering studies, analyses, technical trades, and modeling and simulation of a “Network Orchestration” capability that would support data transport between the SDA Proliferated Warfighter Space Architecture (PWSA), commercial satellite networks, and other space-based data transport networks. Potential offerors are encourged to submit proposals by 5:00 PM Eastern on October 21, 2024. Pleasse see the attached Call for Proposals for details. (End of Amendment)
