About this opportunity
The Department of the Air Force, on behalf of the United States Space Force (USSF), has issued a Special Notice seeking industry input on the development of a commercial antenna marketplace. The USSF is looking to create a flexible, global framework that enables dynamic, real-time satellite command and control by connecting satellite ground entry points with cloud data centers and other user nodes.
The purpose of this Request for Information (RFI) is to obtain information on specific capabilities that can enable near-term implementation of critical functions foundational to the USSF's envisioned antenna marketplace. The RFI outlines key functional requirements, such as managing scheduled commercial antenna workload costs, establishing security boundaries and data encryption, onboarding new ground entry points, and contracting with third-party antenna providers and cloud service providers. Industry responses are due by September 27, 2024, and the government may choose to hold discussions with respondents for further clarification. There are no set-aside eligibility criteria, and the USSF is seeking input from the broad commercial antenna services marketplace.
Notice text
USSF seeks to develop and deploy a global framework for connecting satellite ground entry points with cloud data centers and other user nodes for dynamic, real-time satellite command and control. The sponsoring organization envisions a flexible marketplace model that facilitates adaptive scheduling of contacts and data transport workloads globally to and from antenna locations with available apertures. This RFI is focused on obtaining information on specific capabilities that can enable near term implementation of critical functions foundational to an antenna marketplace outlined in the Government Reference Concept. It is expected that these functions, as described in the RFI, can provide scalable pathways to the end state model that services the requirements of the USSF Enterprise.
