AAWSAP Solicitation and Original Order, September 2008
🏛️ Department of War
This document is an administrative or programmatic record related to the Advanced Aerospace Weapon System Applications Program (AAWSAP), a Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA)-administered program active from 2008 to 2012. AAWSAP’s official scope of work identified 12 technical research areas relating to potential aerospace threats over a time horizon of more than 40 years. As an administrative record, the file documents how AAWSAP was scoped, organized, tasked, funded, or described at a particular point in time. This September 2008 solicitation/contract/order document serves as the original contract award instrument for AAWSAP work performed by Bigelow Aerospace Advanced Space Studies, Inc. (BAASS), incorporating the contractor’s proposal by reference and translating the earlier Statement of Objectives (DOW-UAP-D110) into priced contract line items. The file breaks the base year into specific deliverable categories, including monthly status reports, program management plans for the 12 technical areas, research reports, a comprehensive integrated threat assessment, travel, and other direct costs, and corresponding option-year line items for follow-on performance.

Department of War
This document is an administrative or programmatic record related to the Advanced Aerospace Weapon System Applications Program (AAWSAP), a Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA)-administered program active from 2008 to 2012. AAWSAP’s official scope of work identified 12 technical research areas relating to potential aerospace threats over a time horizon of more than 40 years. As an administrative record, the file documents how AAWSAP was scoped, organized, tasked, funded, or described at a particular point in time. This September 2010 contract modification extends the period of performance for the AAWSAP contract (HHM402-08-C-0072) from September 22, 2010, to December 21, 2010. The modification states that no additional funding was required for the extension and that no other changes were made to the contract. This bridge action extended AAWSAP contractor support beyond the previously established performance end date without changing the underlying scope of work.
AAWSAP Contract Modification P00004, May 2010
Department of War
This document is an administrative or programmatic record related to the Advanced Aerospace Weapon System Applications Program (AAWSAP), a Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA)-administered program active from 2008 to 2012. AAWSAP’s official scope of work identified 12 technical research areas relating to potential aerospace threats over a time horizon of more than 40 years. As an administrative record, the file documents how AAWSAP was scoped, organized, tasked, funded, or described at a particular point in time. This May 2010 contract modification records a minor administrative action associated with the AAWSAP contract (HHM402-08-C-0072) to align internal recordkeeping with a change to the Contracting Officer’s Representative documented in a separate contract modification (P00003).
AAWSAP Contract Modification P00003, May 2010
Department of War
This document is an administrative or programmatic record related to the Advanced Aerospace Weapon System Applications Program (AAWSAP), a Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA)-administered program active from 2008 to 2012. AAWSAP’s official scope of work identified 12 technical research areas relating to potential aerospace threats over a time horizon of more than 40 years. As an administrative record, the file documents how AAWSAP was scoped, organized, tasked, funded, or described at a particular point in time. This May 2010 contract modification is an administrative change to contract HHM402-08-C-0072. The modification states that its purpose is to change the Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR) designation for the AAWSAP contract and identifies the newly designated COR while specifying that guidance from the COR must comply with the contract’s governing terms. In effect, the file is best understood as an internal contract-administration update reflecting oversight realignment rather than a substantive change to AAWSAP’s research deliverables or program direction.
AAWSAP Contract Modification P00002, February 2010
Department of War
This document is an administrative or programmatic record related to the Advanced Aerospace Weapon System Applications Program (AAWSAP), a Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA)-administered program active from 2008 to 2012. AAWSAP’s official scope of work identified 12 technical research areas relating to potential aerospace threats over a time horizon of more than 40 years. As an administrative record, the file documents how AAWSAP was scoped, organized, tasked, funded, or described at a particular point in time. This February 2010 contract modification provides funding for the exercise of Option Year 1 under contract HHM402-08-C-0072 and removes the availability-of-funds contingency that had been imposed in modification P00001. It also states that the modification identifies impacts to deliverables resulting from reduced Option Year 1 funding and incorporates revised documentation showing how Fiscal Year 2010 funds would be used. The modification converts the previously contingent option-year continuation into a funded contract action while acknowledging that reduced funding would affect the planned scope or timing of deliverables.
