The U.S. Air Force is soliciting proposals for the software development and integration requirements in the Implementation of Advanced Government Simulation Architectures, or IAGSC. The contract covers incorporating Department of Defense systems to the Air Force Sustainment Center’s Software Development Directorate Experimentation Division, according to a USAF post in SAM.gov Monday.

Cybersecurity & Software Testing Tasks
Other deliverables of the selected contractor include cybersecurity implementation throughout the software development and integration process, as well as software testing and modeling and simulation capability verification.
In addition, the contract calls for integrating intelligence community data into software capability for threat detection. It also requires administrative and systems engineering support for all simulation architecture activities, including security services for files and facilities.
Earlier Sole Source Contract Award
The deadline for the submission of offers is on April 5. The IAGSC requirement of the Air Force has been fulfilled earlier through a sole source acquisition contract award to ensure services continuity, according to the SAM.gov post.
A DOD report in early March announced that Modern Technology Solutions Inc. has secured a potential $48.5 million cost-plus-fixed-fee, indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity USAF contract to support IAGSC. The company’s work extends up to March 17, 2027, at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Dayton, Ohio.

The Federal Communications Commission has adopted new rules that seek to eliminate unnecessary paperwork and address regulatory barriers to the ground-station-as-a-service, or GSaaS, business model as part of efforts to drive innovation in the U.S. space economy. FCC said Thursday the new rules establish a process for ground station operators to secure a baseline license without first identifying a satellite point of communication. A simple FCC notification will be required for each new point of communication. According to FCC, the change would eliminate nearly half of earth station modification applications. “Making the smallest change to a satellite system or earth
