OFFICIAL NOTICE CONTENT

Opportunity description

Stored from SAM.gov public data

The United States Government (USG), Space Systems Command (SSC), and Tactical SATCOM Division (SSC/TX), in coordination with the Directorate of Contracting (SSC/CGK), is conducting market research to identify industry partners capable of performing System Integrator (SI) functions or activities in support of the Enterprise Management & Control (EM&C) program. The USG intends to solicit and negotiate a contract or agreement with the contractor that provides the most technically acceptable solution to the USG under the current Commercial Solutions Opening (CSO) on the Platform One Solutions Marketplace (P1SM). If interested in pursuing this opportunity, please submit a video to P1SM no later than end of October 2026 to allow time for your submission to be assessed in accordance with the competitive procedures of P1SM. The anticipated period of performance for the resultant award will consist of a 12?month base period and four 12?month option periods. The SI is responsible for planning, executing, and validating integrations between the EM&C platform and external programs/data repositories, including the Joint Management Tool (JMT), Unified Data Library (UDL), EMS Beskar, Blitzar, Protected and Tactical Systems (PATS) Mission Management System, and external commercial/government off-the-shelf software (COTS/GOTS). The SI contractor will not author core application code or dictate enterprise reference architecture. Core application code is developed by designated Development Contractors (DEV), while the architectural roadmap and governance are established by System Engineering & Integration Contractors (SE&I). The SI operates as the technical integrator and operational execution engine thereby, driving Program Increment (PI) planning, deployment automation, release orchestration, and enterprise-level test and evaluation (T&E). The SI must remain strictly independent of core software developers to eliminate any Organizational Conflict of Interest (OCI).

GOVBIDFIT SCREENING LENS

What deserves attention before you spend bid time

Decision support

These screening signals are generated from the public notice fields stored for this specific opportunity. They are not eligibility findings or predictions; they are prompts for a faster, more disciplined review of the official solicitation.

Market-research stage

This notice appears to be market research rather than a conventional bid invitation. A capability response, technical feedback or evidence of market interest may matter more than a price proposal at this stage.

Planning window available

The stored response date leaves more than ten days, but amendments and pre-response milestones can shorten the usable preparation window.

Eligibility gate recorded

No Set aside used is recorded as the set-aside or restriction. Confirm the bidding entity actually satisfies the applicable program and size requirements before investing proposal time.

Classification signal

NAICS 541512 · PSC R425 is the recorded classification. Use it as a screening clue, then compare the actual scope and deliverables rather than treating the code alone as proof of fit.

Official description available

GovBidFit has stored substantive notice text for this record, but attachments, clauses, amendments and Q&A can still contain requirements that are not visible in the description alone.

Public buyer contact available

The source data includes 2 public contracting contacts. Use the solicitation's stated communication rules and deadlines before contacting the buyer.

Before deciding to bid

Read the complete official description and scope. Verify the exact response date, time and time zone on SAM.gov. Confirm NAICS/PSC and every set-aside eligibility requirement. Review attachments, amendments, Q&A and submission instructions. Check place of performance, staffing, insurance, bonding and execution requirements.
Source and trust

GovBidFit is independent and is not a U.S. government website. GovBidFit stores a structured mirror of SAM.gov public opportunity data in its own database and keeps the compact snapshot as a fallback. The official SAM.gov notice remains the controlling source. The official SAM.gov notice controls if anything here differs from the source or a later amendment.
