Sole-source 12-month extension and ceiling increase for Air Force NIDS 4 task order

**Buyer:** AFLCMC/HBC
**Posted:** October 15, 2026
**Identifier:** FA873022F8506P00035
**NAICS:** 541512, 541511

The Air Force is justifying a 12-month, sole-source extension of Peraton, Inc.’s NIDS 4 task order to maintain critical mission-planning applications while replacement systems are completed and tested.
- **Action:** Extend Task Order FA873022F8506 on a time-and-materials basis and increase its ceiling by an estimated **$8,909,600**.
- **Work covered:**
  - Continue NIDS software maintenance, deployment, testing, and on-site support; the justification estimates about **$4 million** for this work.
  - Complete the **Strategic Nuclear Aimpoint Planning System (SNAPS)** and **Early Plan Design 2 (EPD2)**, intended to replace legacy N3 and EPD applications, and integrate with the **Strategic Mission Planning and Execution System (SMPES)**; estimated at about **$4.6 million**.
  - Support code refactoring, mission-model updates, and planning for next-generation weapon systems.
- **Schedule rationale:** The current task order ends **June 30, 2027**. EPD2 production is scheduled for April 2027 and SNAPS completion for December 2027, with up to six months of SNAPS side-by-side testing. The Air Force says an early transition risks delays and the extension supports continuity through the work; a future NIDS successor contract is intended to be competed.
- **Competition and suppliers:** The notice justifies a sole-source extension to Peraton, Inc. No product manufacturers/OEMs or product quantities are identified.
