Wideband Remote Monitoring Sensor (WRMS) Enhancement and Sustainment (E&S)

This Performance Work Statement (PWS) outlines the requirements for the Wideband Remote Monitoring Sensor (WRMS) Enhancement and Sustainment contract. Managed by the Project Office Wideband Control (PO WC), the WRMS is a critical subsystem of the Wideband SATCOM Operational Management System (WSOMS) used to monitor X/Ka-Band Super High Frequency satellite communications, identify interferences, and manage satellite resources. The selected contractor will provide a comprehensive range of services, including program management, systems engineering, software development, test and acceptance, integrated logistics support, cybersecurity, and installation. A primary technical objective is expanding spectrum monitoring capabilities to support WGS-11+ satellite variants while maintaining backward compatibility with legacy systems. The contractor must utilize Agile methodologies (such as Scrum or Kanban) and Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe) practices, working closely with a government-appointed Product Owner. Additionally, the contractor is required to implement DevSecOps practices, establishing a continuous integration and continuous deployment (CI/CD) pipeline, maintaining automated unit testing, and utilizing government-hosted Atlassian Jira tools. Key deliverables span technical manuals, software version descriptions, system security updates, and regular progress reports. The contractor will also maintain a dedicated testing environment, manage commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) upgrades, and build up to six additional WSOC configuration baseline end-items. Testing and acceptance protocols require rigorous developmental and operational evaluations to ensure full mission readiness and system alignment with Risk Management Framework (RMF) cybersecurity standards.

The Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) has issued a Sources Sought Notice (832675541) to identify capable small and large businesses to provide enhancement and sustainment (E&S) services for the Wideband Remote Monitoring Sensor (WRMS) for Wideband Global Satellite Communications (WGS). This requirement supports the United States Space Force, Combat Forces Command Mission Delta 8, 8th Sustainment Squadron (CFC MD8/8STS). The WRMS utilizes hardware, spectrum characterization software, and a graphical user interface to help operators identify and resolve satellite signal anomalies. The upcoming contract focuses on sustaining the current fielded software version (WRMS v3.x) and implementing enhancements through quarterly software releases. The anticipated effort features a one-year base period and four one-year option periods, with a targeted award date of April 2027. Peterson Space Force Base in Colorado is the primary place of performance. The incumbent contractor is Northrop Grumman under the SETI contract vehicle. To qualify, responding businesses must possess a Secret Facility Clearance and demonstrate capabilities in agile software development, integration, satellite spectrum monitoring, and managing hardware-agnostic interfaces. Small businesses must also show compliance with the Limitations on Subcontracting clause. Capable sources must submit a capabilities statement of no more than seven pages to Contract Specialist Barb Miner and Contracting Officer Vanessa Gonzalez by September 23, 2026, at 2:00 PM CT.
