The Federal Aviation Administration is conducting market research through an Industry Day event from December 8 to 10, 2026, to inform the future acquisition of Domestic Datalink Services (DDLS). This initiative aims to replace the Data Communication Integrated Services contract expiring on September 30, 2029.

Ground Station as a Service

Solicitation # 1332KP27DGSAAS

The Department of Commerce, through NOAA and NESDIS, intends to award a sole-source, firm-fixed-price contract to ATLAS Space Operations Inc. valued between 7 million and 10 million dollars. The contract focuses on procuring scalable telemetry, tracking, and command aperture services to provide satellite-to-ground communication. This effort supports the delivery of environmental data from remote platforms, including missions such as COSMIC-2, KOMPSAT-5, and PAZ, and encompasses site certification, telemetry downlink, and satellite commanding data services. The government is pursuing a non-competitive procurement because ATLAS is identified as the only vendor with the necessary operational authorizations, non-transferable international spectrum licenses, and qualified front-end processor architectures required to avoid mission-critical data loss and schedule disruptions. While this is a notice of intent for a sole-source award, other responsible sources may submit capability statements to the contracting officer for evaluation to determine if a competitive procurement is warranted.
