MEMORANDUM FOR INDUSTRY

FROM: Commercial Satellite Communications Office

SUBJECT: Forecast to Industry – Future Requirements for Fiscal Year 2025-2026

The United States Space Force (USSF) Commercial Satellite Communications (COMSATCOM) Office, or CSCO, presents the following information to industry for preparation of potential Requests for Proposals (RFP). All information outlined within is subject to change and based on known requirements for the subsequent 12 months. This document is current as of March 2025.

The Future COMSATCOM Services Acquisition (FCSA) provides the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) procurement of satellite communication capabilities from an approved list of contractors. The FCSA covers three (3) service areas: transponded capacity, subscription services, and end-to-end solutions.

COMSATCOM Transponded Capacity (CTC) includes requirements for satellite bandwidth and power, including limited engineering services (e.g., link budgets and transmission plans). CTC enables customer-proposed waveforms and industry-approved solutions to apply leased bandwidth to meet individual requirements. This service area includes monitoring and control of leased bandwidth and incorporates the option for purchased frequency clearances and licenses. CTC falls under the General Services Administration (GSA) North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code 517410.

COMSATCOM Subscription Services (CSS) are for use with fixed satellite services (FSS) or mobile satellite services (MSS). CSS uses contractor-determined waveforms that are billed on a per-use basis (e.g., dollars per minute, dollars per megabyte, or dollars per month). This service area comprises rates for vendor-defined network management, monitoring, engineering, integration, licensing, and the operations required to deliver services. CSS falls under the GSA NAICS code 517410.

Complex Commercial SATCOM Solutions (CS3) allows the DoD to build large, complex, and custom satellite solutions. These solutions may include satellite transport (bandwidth), FSS or MSS, and service-enabling components such as terminals, handsets, and tail circuits with engineering services to integrate, operate, and maintain the solution. CS3 is covered under the FCSA CS3 Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract.

COMSATCOM Satellite Business Solutions (SBS) is an other-than FCSA solution for either FSS or MSS. Prospective acquisitions that are not anticipated to use FCSA solutions may utilize existing Blanket Purchase Agreements (BPA), IDIQs, or will be procured using full and open competition in accordance with any combination of Federal Acquisition Regulations (FAR) procedures.
