# GSA Awards Praeses $79M AI Data-Fusion IDIQ

On September 29, 2026, the General Services Administration’s Federal Acquisition Service awarded Praeses, LLC a five-year, single-award SBIR Phase III IDIQ with an initial ceiling of $79 million for Air Force Global Strike Command. The vehicle gives AFGSC and other eligible federal agencies an acquisition path to Praeses’ data-fusion, visualization, and AI analytics capabilities for national-security applications, including Battlespace Awareness, JADC2, and NC3. The award is not an open solicitation, and its ceiling does not represent funds necessarily obligated.

- Eligible agency procurement teams can evaluate whether Praeses’ capabilities fit data-fusion and analytics needs and determine the appropriate acquisition and funding path through the vehicle.
- The single-award structure makes Praeses the vehicle’s awardee; the stated ceiling is a maximum, not a guaranteed order volume.
- Contractors offering complementary integration or mission-support capabilities can assess potential teaming opportunities around AFGSC and other eligible agencies’ use of the vehicle.
