This is a notice of the government's intent to issue a sole-source contract to Stephenson Stellar Corporation (SSC) for a five-year effort supporting the Future 5G Lab, with an estimated contract ceiling of $98 million. The work involves research, development, and systems engineering on emerging technologies to support the bomber fleet, encompassing 14 specific technical tasks. The primary justification for the sole-source award is SSC's unique, proven technical capability with the legacy systems and its objective nonprofit status, which the government believes makes it the only source able to meet a critical 2027 deadline without causing an 18-24 month delay. Performance will be based at SSC's facilities in Shreveport, Louisiana, and Colorado Springs, Colorado. Interested parties capable of meeting all requirements must submit a detailed capability statement by 4:00 PM Central Time on 22 January 2026, directly rebutting the sole-source justification and providing a transition plan.
