The vertical scale does not start at zero: the baseline sits just below this program’s smallest year, so a low point on this line is not a small amount. Read the shape for direction and the grid below for the figures.

Description
Description — DISTRIBUTED COMMON GROUND/SURFACE SYSTEM
This Line Item is part of the Military Intelligence Program (MIP). The Distributed Common Ground/Surface System - Special Operations Forces (DCGS-SOF), Program Number 837, is part of a family of systems providing rapid fielding of Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance Processing, Exploitation, Dissemination (PED), and analytical capabilities at the Combatant Commands (COCOMs), Component/Theater Special Operations Command (TSOC) level and below through a combination of reach back, forward support, and collaboration. The mission tailored infrastructure interconnects the warfighter, analysts, and sensors to find and fix High Value Targets and provides a network-enabled, interoperable construct allowing continual, unimpeded sharing of intelligence data, information and services with SOF and between the Services, other national intelligence agencies, COCOMs and multi-national partners. It connects the SOF warfighter and analysts with essential intelligence information and provides situational awareness information to SOF leadership at all echelons. The components of DCGS-SOF include Enterprise/All Source Information Fusion (ENT/ASIF) and SOF Geospatial Intelligence Imagery Processing, Exploitation, and Dissemination (SGIP). The ENT/ASIF provides infrastructure, processing and intelligence analytical tools to allow for worldwide SOF intelligence information sharing via a globally connected cloud-based architecture as well as a forward disconnected capability. The SGIP provides capabilities in garrison and deployed environments for the PED of crewed and uncrewed sensors.
Justification
Justification — DISTRIBUTED COMMON GROUND/SURFACE SYSTEM
FY 2026 BASE PROGRAM JUSTIFICATION: Funds the SGIP Deployable / Tactical Hardware, and Garrison infrastructure Hardware Capital Equipment Replacement Program (CERP) (3-5 years). FY 2025 to FY 2026 decrease of $1.094 million is due to a reduction in the procurement of Deployable / Tactical Processing, Exploitation and Dissemination (PED) hardware and Garrison infrastructure capital equipment in the SOF Geospatial Intelligence Imagery Processing, Exploitation, & Dissemination (SGIP) program of record. ENT/ASIF has transitioned to the Software Acquisition Pathway and will no longer require the procurement of IT equipment after FY 2025.

Follow the dollar
No follow-the-dollar view — none of this program's high-confidence awards records a positive obligation at any place of performance (flows cover 312 of 1,938 programs). why coverage is partial? →
Related awards
Award linkage is shown for 32 of 200 profiled companies — high- and medium-confidence USAspending matches, each row labeled; medium is the weaker evidence. why partial award coverage? →
Rows marked medium rest on evidence weaker than a program-level match, and of more than one kind. An account-based row, where the award drew from the same appropriation account as this program, is an association, not evidence that this program paid for the contract. Where the evidence is instead an FPDS acquisition-program tag or a subaward description, the program is established but which of its budget lines paid is not. An announcement link a recorded review did not leave standing is medium too. Only high rows rest on the contract naming this program with a recorded review upholding it and no recorded rejection or refutation applying.
| Recipient | PIID | Confidence |
|---|---|---|
| CARAHSOFT TECHNOLOGY CORP | H9222216D0035 | high |
| CONTIEM, INC. | H9222216D0002 | medium |
Contractor concentration
No concentration index is published for this line. This line's high-confidence links do not clear the floor for a published concentration index — at least 3 awards across 2 contractor families holding positive obligations, with positive net linked dollars. An index below that floor is a fact about the sample, not about the market. Whatever further links this line carries are medium-confidence, and what each medium evidence path does and does not establish is set out in the methodology. Both bases are in the downloadable warehouse.
