About this opportunity
The Department of the Navy Naval Sea Systems Command awarded contract N6660426P0381 to Space Exploration Technologies Corp. for $2 million on August 25, 2026, for forty SpaceX Walkman Block 2 radios at approximately $50,000 each.
The Naval Undersea Warfare Center Division Newport (NUWCDIVNPT) procured the radios on a sole-source basis under FAR Subpart 12.1 for commercial products, citing statutory authority 41 U.S.C. 1901. The Walkman Block 2 is the only mature, production-ready commercial radio capable of natively interfacing with a proprietary Government-owned satellite constellation while meeting specific physical size, weight, and power constraints. Pursuing alternatives would result in cost duplication exceeding $1.6 million and schedule delays exceeding 1.5 years. The Contracting Officer determined the anticipated cost fair and reasonable. A combined synopsis and solicitation notice was published on SAM.gov and GPE on July 8, 2026, inviting capability statements; no challenges or alternatives were presented. Entire procurement is expected to be funded, procured, and delivered in FY26.
