About this opportunity
The Space Development Agency is conducting a Request for Information on Tracking Layer Tranche 4 on-orbit demonstrations and operations with responses due by December 4, 2026. No set-aside applies to this RFI.
SDA seeks industry feedback to inform future solicitations and reduce acquisition risk for the Proliferated Warfighter Space Architecture (PWSA). The RFI focuses on enhancements to the baseline Tracking Layer's Resilient MWTD mission payloads and architecture, and new mission capabilities to improve PWSA performance in detecting and tracking challenging targets across full flight trajectories. Responses will directly inform SDA's scope and design of potential short-term on-orbit demonstrations and future Tracking Layer tranches.
Following the feedback phase, SDA plans to announce a Tranche 4 solicitation encompassing production contracts and partnership opportunities for rapid prototyping and flight demonstrations of new mission payloads.
The RFI documents contain Controlled Unclassified Information and a classified addendum. Interested parties must request the documents by emailing ussf.pentagon.sda.mesg.sda-sn-27-0003-mbx@mail.mil with subject line "TRKT4 RFI Content Request" and providing company name, CAGE Code, company location, email address, and JWICS email (for classified documents).
