Three Space Systems Command procurement actions dropped in quick succession, and they're not coincidental. FA2518-25-S-C001: a Commercial Solutions Opening for SDA capabilities through AFRL, structured to bring in commercial and non-traditional contractors at scale. RFI-SML-GEO-Feb2026: a GEO refueling vehicles RFI from SSC's Servicing, Mobility and Logistics program office—responses due today, March 13—asking for vehicles capable of transferring at least 1,000kg of propellant at a pace of three missions per year, using SERB-approved interfaces. This ties directly to the RG-XX next-gen GEO reconnaissance and surveillance program, which the Space Force aims to have operational as early as 2030. FA2553-26-R-B001: the NITE-STAR IDIQ presolicitation for National Space Test and Training Complex infrastructure—design, development, integration, and sustainment across live and synthetic space ranges. One program office, three acquisition vehicles, one sector. Space Force's FY2026 budget is approximately $40 billion—combining its base request with reconciliation funding—with SDA as a stated priority, and FY2027 is projected to grow further. I break down all three—what they're buying, what they signal about the investment trajectory, and what to do before these vehicles close—in this week's blog post.

Government audits are not arbitrary — they are structured evaluations rooted in FAR and DFARS requirements. If you perform under cost-reimbursement contracts, you must submit an annual Incurred Cost Submission (FAR 52.216-7). That submission is subject to audit. For DoD contractors, DFARS business system clauses authorize review of accounting systems, estimating systems, purchasing systems, and EVMS where applicable. Audits commonly evaluate: • Cost accumulation and allocation • Accounting system adequacy • Labor charging controls • Internal control execution • Documentation sufficiency These reviews don’t evaluate good intentions. They evaluate whether your system operates consistently and produces supportable evidence. Organizations that embed audit discipline into daily workflows experience far less disruption when reviews occur. Prodigy BPC helps contractors strengthen control design, documentation standards, and governance cadence so audit readiness is continuous — not reactive. If audit preparation feels like reconstruction, structure needs reinforcement. #GovCon #DCAA #AuditReady #FAR #DFARS #InternalControls #ProdigyBPC
