Opportunity Overview
1. PURPOSE & SCOPE CLARIFICATION
The purpose of this Special Notice is to advise industry that the PAE MDS intends to release Area of Interest (AoI) #01: EUS – AWACS in the coming days.
Scope Clarification:
In July 2026 PEO DHMS became PAE MDS. While other recent PAE MDS /PEO DHMS acquisitions focus on the initial fielding and implementation of major systems to multiple sites, EUS AWACS is specifically designed to provide a unified user experience, continuous enablement, and enduring capability support throughout the system's operational lifecycle.
This AoI will be the first requirement competed under the recently published DHA Enterprise-Wide Commercial Solutions Opening (CSO HT003826SC005 / https://sam.gov/workspace/contract/opp/cd16b90540b7407fb4de1e028cea74d4/view).
