The remaining work will be distributed among the United Kingdom (TADAWUL:4280) (10%), Colorado Springs, Colorado (10%), and Guam (5%). The contract stipulates that work is expected to be completed by April 2030.

The contract allows the awardees to compete for task orders during the ordering period. At the time of award, no funds will be obligated. Funds will be obligated as task orders and will be issued using research, development, test, and evaluation funds.

The contract was competitively procured via the SAM.gov website and the Naval Information Warfare Systems Command E-Commerce Central website. Three offers were received for the contract. The Naval Information Warfare Center Pacific, located in San Diego, California, is the contracting activity.
