Written by GovTribe AI ·

This is a Justification for an Exception to Fair Opportunity (FOE) document for a task order award under a Multiple Award Contract (MAC) vehicle. The United States Space Force, Space Systems Command/CMK (COMSO), located in Chantilly, VA, is seeking approval to award a Firm-Fixed-Price (FFP) task order to SpaceX via JD/IQ for the procurement of Proliferated Low Earth Orbit (PLEO) Commercial Satellite Communications (COMSATCOM) terminal equipment and service plans to support military operations across the enterprise.

The task order is valued at an undisclosed amount and has a base performance period running from December 5, 2025, to December 4, 2026. The required supplies and services include Starshield High Performance User Terminal, Starshield Mini User Terminal, Starlink (FMS/export) High Performance User Terminal Kit, Starshield Aeroterminal–Full Kit, Starshield Aeroterminal–Tile Antenna, Starshield Aeroterminal–Tile Mini, and Operational Packaged PLEO Service Plan. The FOE is justified under FAR 16.505(b)(2)(i)(C), which permits sole-source awards as a logical follow-on to prior work already issued under the contract when all awardees were given fair opportunity. The justification emphasizes that awarding to the incumbent SpaceX ensures service continuity, avoids cost duplication, prevents mission partner learning curves and delays, and maintains system integration efficiency. The Contracting Officer will determine fair and reasonable pricing using the ID/IQ contract baseline benchmark, historical pricing, and current market conditions. Approvals were obtained from the Program Manager (12 Nov 2025), Contracting Officer (10 Nov 2025), SCC/JA (13 Nov 2025), SSC/CMK (14 Nov 2025), Competition Advocate (24 Nov 2025), Senior Contracting Official (01 Dec 2025), and Approval Authority SAF/SQ (05 Dec 2025).
