Description
SBIRS GEO 5&6 ADVANCED PROCUREMENT
Score Rationale
This is a legacy space systems procurement (SBIRS = Space-Based Infrared System) with no mention of AI/ML techniques, algorithms, or autonomous systems in the description; the work is satellite hardware and payload integration. Problem framing is purely programmatic ('advanced procurement') with no operational or technical problem articulated. Lockheed Martin is a large prime contractor, not an AI-native firm, and a $2.5B award to a prime on an established program is the opposite of AI-native defense procurement.
