About this opportunity
The Department of the Air Force Space Command intends to award a sole-source contract to QWALTEC for continued Telemetry, Tracking & Command (TT&C) operations and on-orbit engineering services supporting Fleet Satellite (FLTSAT), Ultra High Frequency Follow-on (UFO), and Mobile Users Objective System (MUOS) communication satellites under the authority of unusual and compelling urgency per 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(2).
The justification cites three government shutdowns and Navy-to-USSF work transition issues that created an incomplete requirements package, combined with the need for a 30–60 day phase-in period and critical mission support for ongoing Middle East operations. Market research found no alternative contract vehicles to support competition within the required timeframe. The current contract ends July 31, 2026; the sole-source follow-on runs August 1, 2026 through July 31, 2027. The contract vehicle is Cost-Plus-Fixed-Fee. The Contracting Officer will determine fair and reasonable pricing by comparing the proposed 12-month extension with escalated costs against historical prices paid under prior contract N00244-21-F-3020 and will apply FAR 15.404-1(b)(2)(ii) analysis. Services are performed via the Space-to-Ground Link System (SGLS) and Extremely High Frequency (EHF) antennas through the 10th Space Operations Squadron (10 SOPS) Delta 8. A follow-on competitive acquisition is planned on the GSA OASIS+ Small Business IDIQ as a small business set-aside. The J&A will be posted within 14 days after award for 30 days per FAR 6.305(b).
Notice text
This J&A is for an extension of services, in order for our team to extend mission critical services due to ongoing military conflicts. The follow-on requirement will have small business competition, and will be competed as a small business set aside on the GSA OASIS+ Small Business Pool.
Awarded contract FA251826CP002 to unknown vendor for unknown amount on 2026-05-01.
