About this opportunity
The Department of the Air Force has issued a Special Notice of Intent to Award to Single Source for a firm-fixed price contract with Kymeta Government Solutions Inc. to supply satellite communication equipment and services to the 1st Combat Communications Squadron (1 CBCS). Posted on March 26, 2026, by the 700th Contracting Squadron at Kapaun Air Station in Kaiserslautern, Germany, this notice indicates the government's intention to procure specialized broadband and communication capabilities for military operations. The contract is justified as single-source based on Kymeta's proprietary embedded technology and the squadron's prior successful operational experience with the system. The notice follows standard federal procedures and allows interested parties an opportunity to respond before contract award.
The primary objective of this procurement is to equip the 1 CBCS with ten Kymeta Osprey u8 ruggedized satellite terminals and a one-year service agreement to enable continuous on-the-move communication and broadband connectivity across diverse European and African terrains. The contract deadline for interested parties to submit questions or challenges is April 6, 2026. The service plan includes 3 terabytes annually of combined Low Earth Orbit (LEO) and Geostationary Orbit (GEO) satellite data with varying bandwidth capabilities, supporting up to five terminals operating concurrently. While the government has expressed its intention to award to Kymeta Government Solutions Inc. (CAGE: 75E30) based on sole-source justification, it reserves discretion to conduct a competitive procurement process if appropriate responses are received. Inquiries should be directed to Contract Specialist Mrs. Svetlana Allendorf or Contracting Officer TSgt Carleen Clinger at the contact information provided.
