Description
The Army Contracting Command - Aberdeen Proving Ground (ACC-APG) intends to issue a sole-source modification to increase the contract ceiling of the existing Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract W56KGY-23-D-0005 awarded to Raytheon Company. The proposed modification will increase the total overall ceiling amount by $27,345,375.95 to a new total of $72,893,824.77. The CENTAUR III system provides a single solution capability for machine-to-machine, bi-directional information sharing between security domains using corresponding release policy. The system extends the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) Distributed Common Ground System (DCGS) Integration Backbone (DIB) capability and allows for cross-domain and cross-coalition data flows.
Key aspects of the project include:
• Expansion of Support Footprint: The contract must now support an additional government-directed location, requiring more personnel for deployment, integration, cybersecurity, and program management.
• Increased Travel & Deployment Costs: Supporting geographically dispersed locations has led to higher-than-expected costs driven by inflation and deployment tempo.
• Cybersecurity Compliance & Sustainment: Hardware, testing, and re-baselining efforts are required to meet enhanced cybersecurity standards defined by the National Cross Domain Strategy and Management Office (NCDSMO) and the National Security Agency (NSA).
