SUBJECT: Request for Information (RFI) - Enterprise Management & Control (EM&C)

System Integrator Requirement

References: (a) U.S.C. § 3458, Commercial Solutions Opening (CSO)

(b) DFARS Subpart 212.70, Defense Commercial Solutions Opening

(c) 10 U.S.C. § 4021 / § 4022, Other Transaction (OT) Authority

(d) RFO 15.101(c), Early Exchanges with Industry

(e) Enterprise Satellite Communications Management and Control (ESC-MC)

Reference Architecture (RA) and Implementation Plan (I-Plan)

1. In accordance with references (a) through (e), the United States Government (USG), Space Systems Command (SSC), and Tactical SATCOM Division (SSC/TX), in coordination with the Directorate of Contracting (SSC/CGK), is conducting market research to identify industry partners capable of performing System Integrator (SI) functions or activities in support of the Enterprise Management & Control (EM&C) program. The USG intends to solicit and negotiate a contract or agreement with the contractor that provides the most technically acceptable solution to the USG under the current Commercial Solutions Opening (CSO) on the Platform One Solutions Marketplace (P1SM). If interested in pursuing this opportunity, please submit a video to P1SM no later than end of October 2026 to allow time for your submission to be assessed in accordance with the competitive procedures of P1SM. The anticipated period of performance for the resultant award will consist of a 12‑month base period and four 12‑month option periods.

2. Program Overview & Architectural Context: The EM&C program, managed within SSC/ TXM, modernizes, synchronizes, and automates the allocation of Satellite Communications (SATCOM) resources, enhances real-time situational awareness, and integrates enterprise data management across Combat Forces Command (CFC), United States Space Command (USSPACECOM), Combined Space Operations Command (CSpOC), System Delta 88 Tactical SATCOM (SYD 88/TX), and the Combatant Commands.

a. Operational Microservice Baseline: The EM&C program has developed multiple products, deployed to a Microsoft Azure Impact Level 6 (IL-6) staging and production environment on SIPRNet, with the number of products continuing to increase with program maturity. These microservices include:

(1) On-Orbit Watchlist: Tracks proximity of objects affecting geosynchronous satellites and generates user-configured alerts.

(2) SATCOM Access Authorization (SAA) Portal: Filterable and searchable database for wideband, narrowband, and protected band SAAs.

(3) Electromagnetic Interference Event Messenger (EEM) Browser: Tracks, sorts, and visualizes EMI events in Global and Detail views.

(4) Global Viewer: 2D/3D visualization of satellite constellations, orbits, and EMI geolocations.

(5) Spectral Viewer Utility: Visualizes transponder-pair spectral data with zoom and time-lapse playbacks.

(6) Terminal Registry: Authoritative source of truth for SATCOM terminal configurations and device-level technical parameters.

(7) Service Provider Registry: Characterizes SATCOM service provider profiles, service catalogs, and contract inventories.

(8) Wideband Mission Workup: Automated workflow planning manager integrating with the Common Network Planning System (CNPS) across Cross-Domain Solutions (CDS).

(9) Narrowband Mission Workup: Automated workflow planning manager integrating with the Narrowband planning tools such as IW, JIMNI, MUOS, etc.

(10) Protected Mission Workup: Automated workflow planning manager integrating with the Protected planning tools such as MPSEE.

(11) Alerts Manager: Consolidates heterogeneous operational alerts into a common operating environment.

(12) Commander Services: Visualizes Operational Capability (OPSCAP) and System Capability (SYSCAP) statuses across the enterprise

(13) Entity Folders: Allows for users to group assets such as satellites and terminals into folders based on their operational needs and monitor their syscap/opscap.

(14) EEM Workup: Enables SIOD to track EMI workflow from initial report to resolution and push the result to EEM Browser for viewing by SATCOM Community users.

(15) Spectral Eye: Allows users to view spectral data to help identify anomalies and effects such as EMI that might be impacting SATCOM.

b. External Interoperability: The SI is responsible for planning, executing, and validating integrations between the EM&C platform and external programs/data repositories, including the Joint Management Tool (JMT), Unified Data Library (UDL), EMS Beskar, Blitzar, Protected and Tactical Systems (PATS) Mission Management System, and external commercial/government off-the-shelf software (COTS/GOTS).

c. Role Demarcation & Organizational Independence: The SI contractor will not author core application code or dictate enterprise reference architecture. Core application code is developed by designated Development Contractors (DEV), while the architectural roadmap and governance are established by System Engineering & Integration Contractors (SE&I). The SI operates as the technical integrator and operational execution engine thereby, driving Program Increment (PI) planning, deployment automation, release orchestration, and enterprise-level test and evaluation (T&E). The SI must remain strictly independent of core software developers to eliminate any Organizational Conflict of Interest (OCI).

3. RFI Questions and Prompts: The USG requests that interested industry partners submit a capabilities white paper not exceeding five pages addressing these focus areas and questions as detailed:

a. Relevant Experience & Background

(1) Describe your experience supporting complex systems software integration, particularly for DoW SATCOM, or similar operational environments.

(2) Describe your experience supporting complex systems software integration (commercial and noncommercial) for any other Federal Government activity outside of DoW.

(3) Describe your experience supporting DevSecOps toolchains and pipeline administration with government software factories (e.g. Kessel Run, Kobayashi Maru, Platform One, etc.)

(4) Describe your experience coordinating and executing enterprise-level System

Integration Testing (SIT), regression testing, and User Acceptance Testing (UAT), which includes Developmental Testing and Operational Testing facilitation. This also includes managing test environments and verifying developer test results.

b. Clearance & Compliance Requirements

(1) What are your current facility and personnel security clearance levels (e.g., TS/SCI)?

(2) Describe your experience working within classified or secure environments involving

DoW SATCOM platforms, or mission systems.

c. Contract Vehicle

(1) Provide your company size standard, Cage Code, and UEID.

(2) Do you currently have an awardable video on P1 Solutions Marketplace (P1SM), if not what is your plan and timeline to submit an awardable video to P1SM in time for consideration?

4. Submission Instructions & Down-Select Schedule

a. Format & Page Limitation: White papers must not exceed five pages in length (excluding cover page and glossary), formatted in single-spaced, 12-point minimum font with 1-inch margins, submitted as a single PDF document. Graphics may be a minimum of 10-point font.

b. Classification: Responses shall be UNCLASSIFIED. Proprietary information, if any, must be clearly marked. The Government intends to have support contractors from the following companies assist in the review of responses. Information will be handled in accordance with markings provided.

(2) Emolbi, LLC

(3) Booz Allen Hamilton

(4) Timonier Systems, LLC

(5) KBR, Inc.

c. Submission Deadline: Submissions must be delivered electronically via email to the

Government points of contact listed in paragraph 6 no later than 2 October 2026 at 17:00 PDT.

d. Evaluation & one-on-one at Space Industry Days: The EM&C Program Office (SSC/TXM) and Contracting Directorate (SSC/CGK) will review submitted white papers to down-select prospective vendors. Down-selected companies will be invited to participate in one-on-one sessions during Space Industry Days on 21–22 October 2026.

5. This memorandum is strictly a Request for Information (RFI) for evaluation purposes and will not be considered a binding commitment.
