Why This Matters
G2S will be a cornerstone sustainment vehicle for C5ISR capabilities, spanning both standard equipment (with NSN) and non-standard equipment (with MCN). Requirements cover:
- Sustainment & Modernization – test & evaluation, repair, engineering services, design changes
- Obsolescence Monitoring – system and item-specific analysis and reporting
- Hybrid Organic/Contractor Support – integration of DLA and industry capabilities
- Engineering Studies & Industrial Capability Analysis
Examples of supported systems include:
- Tactical/strategic radios, mission command applications, and secure/non-secure data networks
- Tactical cyberspace operations and enterprise IT systems
- Electronic warfare and aircraft survivability systems (radar/missile warning, countermeasures)
- Counter-IED and mine detection equipment
- ISR and targeting systems (airborne sensors, night vision, force protection)
- Radar for early warning, target acquisition, artillery/mortar locating
- Positioning, navigation, timing, avionics, air traffic control
- Tactical power and environmental control systems
With an anticipated ceiling of up to $5B, G2S represents one of DLA’s most significant upcoming opportunities in the sustainment and modernization space.
