News Summary

• The Pentagon released a draft solicitation for a $151 billion, multi-award contract.
• The contract will be used to buy technology for the Golden Dome system.
• Venture-backed companies like Anduril and SpaceX will be able to meet these security and compliance requirements, but everyone else will likely need to sub under a prime in order to compete.
• The final request for proposals will be released sometime in the fourth quarter of this year, though that hasn’t stopped companies from already starting their lobbying efforts.
