DOW-UAP-D112 — AAWSAP P00001: a funding-dependent option year
Modification P00001 extends the current AAWSAP contract period and revises the first option year to October 2009–September 2010. Its final page explicitly makes that option subject to available funding, while the cover form records no new obligation. The differing dates printed in the accompanying schedule should be read alongside the amendment’s specific revision.

Probed Assessment
P00001 changes performance dates and exercises the first option subject to funding. The amendment itself records no new obligation.
Key takeaways
- The existing performance period is extended to September 30, 2009.
- The first option is revised to October 1, 2009 through September 30, 2010.
- Payment liability is conditional on funds and written notice.
Why it matters
This amendment establishes the conditional funding state that P00002 later changes. It prevents an option being exercised from being mistaken for money already obligated.
Corroboration
P00002 explicitly removes the funding-availability condition and supplies the later obligation. P00001’s operative revision should be read ahead of older dates retained in schedule headings.
Open questions
- • What written notice subsequently confirmed availability of option-year funds?
Probed separates this editorial assessment from the source claims below. It summarizes what the released artifact supports; it is not independent verification.
Official Description from War.gov
This document is an administrative or programmatic record related to the Advanced Aerospace Weapon System Applications Program (AAWSAP), a Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA)-administered program active from 2008 to 2012. AAWSAP’s official scope of work identified 12 technical research areas relating to potential aerospace threats over a time horizon of more than 40 years. As an administrative record, the file documents how AAWSAP was scoped, organized, tasked, funded, or described at a particular point in time. This September 2009 contract modification formally extends the Bigelow Aerospace Advanced Space Studies (BAASS) contract through 30 September 2009, revises the option-year dates to run from 1 October 2009 through 30 September 2010, and exercises the first option year subject to the availability of appropriated funds. The document carries forward the same major deliverable categories as the original contract.
