Written against this notice and what you have told us about your company. Anything we do not know is marked [NEEDS INPUT] in the draft rather than guessed at — read it before you send it.

Proposal outline
A submission skeleton where every required element is a heading with its source requirement quoted beneath it. You write the substance; nothing gets forgotten.

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). 2. BACKGROUND & CONTEXT On June 18, 2026, PAE MDS/PEO DHMS hosted an Industry Day detailing the transition from legacy, labor-intensive support contracts to a unified, outcome-based EUS delivery model. (https://sam.gov/workspace/contract/opp/a2786ce585874416aa11734702f81f56/view) Offerors are highly encouraged to review the EUS Fact Sheet, Industry Day Presentation, and the Industry Day Q&A Matrix currently posted on SAM.gov (https://sam.gov/workspace/contract/opp/a2786ce585874416aa11734702f81f56/view) to understand the strategic context, 11 User Domains, and 8 Service Pillars that inform this upcoming AoI. 3. UPCOMING SOLICITATION TIMELINE (ANTICIPATED) To maintain momentum and execute this modernization effort, the Government anticipates a highly compressed solicitation, evaluation, and award timeline. The AoI will utilize a Phase-Gate evaluation strategy. Please be advised of the following anticipated timelines upon official release of AoI #01: Questions: Industry will have approximately two (2) business days from the release of the AoI to submit questions. Phase 1 Whitepapers: Industry will have approximately ten (10) calendar days from the release of the AoI to submit Phase 1 Whitepapers (Maximum 10 pages, plus a 2-page Continuity Crosswalk). 4. ACTION FOR INDUSTRY This notice is for informational and planning purposes only and does not constitute a formal solicitation. No whitepapers or proposals are being requested at this time. Interested vendors are strongly encouraged to use this advance notice to review the overarching CSO and historical Industry Day materials, formulate teaming arrangements, and prepare for a rapid Phase 1 turnaround. *** SAM Search tags: DHMS, DHMSM, JOMIS, PEO DHMS, PAE MDS, EUS, End User Services, DHA
