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.
Reach out to the PCO Capt Andrew Madison and Lt Kevin Sequeira by the end date if you have any questions or concerns.
The Department of the Air Force, Space Systems Command, System Delta 89, intends to issue a sole-source modification to increase the total shared ceiling of the Andromeda Multiple-Award Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contracts. The modification will raise the contract maximum from $1,843,000,000.00 to $6,243,000,000.00, an increase of $4,400,000,000.00. This adjustment addresses a significant increase in the space reconnaissance and surveillance budget for Fiscal Year 2027, driven by an escalating threat environment projected for 2030 and beyond. The increased ceiling ensures sufficient capacity for existing requirements, unknown future United States needs, and Foreign Military Sales requirements without delaying planned delivery orders.
The Andromeda IDIQ serves as a vehicle for procuring space-based space domain awareness capabilities, including the RG-XX and SG-XX programs. The scope of work encompasses systems engineering assistance, space system design and prototyping, satellite construction, integration, demonstrations, and operations support. These activities support the Space Domain Awareness mission area, specifically focusing on space-based surveillance and reconnaissance. Work is performed in El Segundo, California, under NAICS code 336414 for Guided Missile and Space Vehicle Manufacturing and PSC 1555 for Space Vehicles. There is no set-aside designated for this action.
The modification applies to 14 contractors competitively awarded the original IDIQ on April 8, 2026: Northrop Grumman Systems, Quantum Space LLC, L3Harris Technologies Inc, Lockheed Martin, Millennium Space Systems, BAE Systems, Sierra Space Corporation, General Atomics, True Anomaly, Turion Space, Anduril, Redwire Space Missions, Astranis, and Intuitive Machines. While this special notice is for informational purposes only, the Andromeda vehicle includes on-ramping provisions to add new qualified contractors annually. Responses or inquiries regarding this notice are due by May 20, 2026, directed to Captain Andrew Madison.
