Incumbent Analysis (see Incumbents section for more detail)
This opportunity appears to have a confirmed incumbent based on prior contract N0017825PC618 awarded to Green Hills Software for “GREEN HILLS SW SUPPORT” valued at $4,100,800 with a performance period of 09/19/25–09/18/26. The current requirement similarly seeks annual hardware/software maintenance and technical support for Green Hills proprietary products (including INTEGRITY-178 tuMP and related software components), which suggests the work is a continuation of ongoing support coverage rather than a new, unrelated effort.
