Description

a Modification to Increase the Total Contract Maximum Ceiling of the Andromeda Multiple-Award Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) Contracts. This is a special notice for informational purposes only. This is not a request for competitive proposals. The U.S. Space Force, Space Systems Command, System Delta 89, intends to award a modification on a sole source basis to the following contracts to increase the total shared ceiling by $4,400,000,000.00 from an original ceiling of 1,843,000,000.00 to a new shared ceiling of $6,243,000,000.00 for additional quantities within the scope of the Andromeda IDIQ. Andromeda is a contract vehicle that will be utilized for the procurement of space-based space domain awareness capabilities, including, but not limited to, the RG-XX and SG-XX programs. The

scope of work includes: assistance in specification (systems engineering), space system design (including prototypes), space system build, integration, demonstrations, and operations support that may include analysis or studies of specialized functions or capabilities in support of the Space Domain Awareness (SDA) mission area, specifically space-based surveillance and reconnaissance. The awarded contractors are as follows: Andromeda IDIQ contracts: 1. FA881926DB001 / Northrop Grumman Systems 2. FA881926DB002 / Quantum Space LLC 3. FA881926DB003 / L3Harris Technologies Inc 4. FA881926DB004 / Lockheed Martin 5. FA881926DB005 / Millennium Space Systems 6. FA881926DB006 / BAE Systems 7. FA881926DB007 / Sierra Space Corporation 8. FA881926DB008 / General Atomics 9. FA881926DB009 / True Anomaly 10. FA881926DB0010 / Turion Space 11. FA881926DB0011 / Anduril 12. FA881926DB0012 / Redwire Space Missions 13. FA881926DB0013 / Astranis 14. FA881926DB0014 / Intuitive Machines On

08 April 2026, 14 contractors were competitively awarded the Andromeda MAC IDIQ. Shortly before the award decision, the space reconnaissance and surveillance budget for Fiscal Year 2027 was significantly increased to address the escalating threat environment projected for CY 2030+. The revised budget results in increased demand for the same

requirements already encompassed within the Andromeda MAC IDIQ. In order to avoid an unacceptable delay to the planned delivery orders and face potential mission critical impacts, it was in the Government’s best interest to complete the Andromeda source selection and pursue a sole source justification to increase the ceiling to ensure there is sufficient capacity to acquire the same type of

requirements authorized by the budget increase and unknown future U.S. and Foreign Military Sales

requirements. The Andromeda MAC IDIQ intends for on-ramping provisions to add new, qualified contractors to the pool on an annual basis. The Government does not intend to award a contract based on this notice or to otherwise pay for information received in response to this notice.
