Parsons Corp.’s subsidiary Space Ground System Solutions, Inc, has won a $245 million indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity contract from the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory.
Under the Blossom Point Tracking Facility Software and Operations Support contract, Space Ground System Solutions will provide software development, sustainment and operations support for critical satellite mission systems over a 5-year period of performance.
“Continuing our work with the Naval Research Laboratory underscores Parsons’ role in delivering resilient, mission-ready space capabilities,” said Rob McDonough, vice president of Space Operations Services at Parsons.
“This award reinforces our demonstrated ability to engineer and sustain secure, software-defined mission systems that enable operational advantage in an increasingly contested space domain. We look forward to advancing innovation with NRL to ensure critical space assets remain agile, integrated, and mission focused.”
This work builds on Parsons’ 30 years of continuous advancement of NRL’s government-owned applications: Neptune Software for automated satellite command and control and ground equipment control and status; and the Virtual Mission Operations Center for satellite mission management, the company said.
Parsons oversees design, testing, maintainance, and software module enhancements, while providing configuration control and cybersecurity for space and ground systems that support national security missions.
Through this partnership with the NRL, Parsons will support the lab’s mission to “innovate and transition cutting-edge technologies to operational use across the Department of War,” the company said.
