About this opportunity
The Space Development Agency (SDA), under the Department of the Air Force, has published a Notice of Intent to Sole Source for contract modifications to an existing agreement with SpaceX. The notice, posted on December 5, 2025, with a due date of December 22, 2025, announces the agency's intention to issue modifications to firm-fixed-price contract FA240125C0001 originally awarded to SpaceX on December 11, 2024. This is a sole source procurement published for informational purposes only and is not a request for competitive proposals. The modifications will be awarded under the authority of FAR 6.302-1, which permits sole source awards when only one responsible source exists and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. The notice represents the SDA's commitment to continuing specialized satellite processing support through its existing contractor relationship.
The modifications will enable SpaceX to extend its support of a satellite processing and integration facility capable of accommodating up to 21 satellites and associated dispenser hardware for the SDA. The facility will provide post-transport functional testing, satellite mechanical and electrical integration with dispenser hardware, and integrated payload stack encapsulation services. Two separate contract modifications are planned, with the first modification extending the period of performance for one year at an estimated value of $14.6 million, anticipated for award in December 2025, and the second modification adding a one-year option period valued at $14.6 million, expected in December 2025 or early 2026, bringing the total estimated value to $29.2 million. Since this is a sole source award notification rather than a competitive opportunity, no contractors may submit proposals; however, interested parties may submit questions or comments by December 22, 2025, directed to ussf.pentagon.sda.mbx.sn-26-0002@mail.mil with the subject line "Notice of Intent to Sole Source - SDA-SN-26-0002."
