The Space Systems Command announced it has awarded a contract for the development of a collaborative digital engineering ecosystem to LinQuest, valued at up to $98.7 million over approximately four years. The contract, a Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase III Task Order, will be performed in Colorado Springs, Colorado, and was awarded as a sole source acquisition.
Work to be Completed Under Collaborative Digital Engineering Ecosystem Contract
The newly awarded contract tasks LinQuest with developing the Integration Accelerator—a collaborative digital engineering ecosystem. This initiative aims to provide advanced analytical and technical decision support to enhance methodologies, processes, and outcomes related to the acquisition and deployment of future Space Force integrated testing and training capabilities.
The Integration Accelerator is designed to streamline digital engineering practices within the Space Force, enabling more effective collaboration among stakeholders. By leveraging digital tools and processes, the program seeks to accelerate innovation cycles and improve the reliability of systems used in space operations.
Work under this contract will focus on supporting the Space Force’s ongoing modernization efforts. The goal is to ensure that integrated testing and training environments are robust, adaptable, and capable of meeting the evolving demands of national defense in the space domain.
The contract is expected to run through September 7, 2028.
