The selected contractor must deliver modern software tools that combine intelligent scheduling assistance, centralized mission information management, and an intelligent historical data search interface to improve spaceport operational tempo and readiness. Because this topic is structured for technology ready for immediate transition, applicants must submit a Direct-to-Phase II proposal with proof-of-concept documentation and a feasibility study, and the final solution must securely integrate with Space Force workflows across unclassified and classified systems. The project requires a projected Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification Level 2 and is restricted under International Traffic in Arms Regulations and US Export Control Laws. Proposals must be submitted during the open application period starting July 22, 2026, and ending August 19, 2026.
