About this file
This document is a Vendor Questions and Answers (Q&A) file for a Starlink Local Priority 500GB Satellite Internet Service solicitation (Solicitation No. 69056726Q000002). The government is seeking 45 Starlink subscriptions, with each subscription providing 500GB of data per month, totaling 22,500 GB monthly. Key clarifications include confirmation that each terminal receives its own 500GB monthly allocation, not a shared pool, and that the initial consumer plan does not meet latency requirements, necessitating a priority plan.
The solicitation is an open market Fixed-Price FFP (Firm-Fixed-Price) Request for Quote (RFQ) with a small business set-aside, restricting participation to small businesses. The anticipated performance period is subject to change but currently projected for March 1, 2026 - December 31, 2026, dependent on purchase order award and service activation dates. The RFQ response deadline is January 29, 2026, and vendors must acknowledge amendments prior to this date. Notable points include no mandatory number of past performance projects required, GSA MAS contracts are not applicable, and documentation errors are being addressed through amendments to be posted on SAM.gov.

VENDOR QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
10 X As an authorized reseller of commercial Starlink to the US Government has Commercial Starlink on its GSA MAS contract GS-###-#####; should open market apply?

Therefore, MAS contracts are not applicable and irrelevant.
