AI Contract Overview
The solicitation for Commercial and Military Satellite Communications Operations Support (COSMOS), identified by number FA251826RP002, is a Department of Defense procurement managed by the U.S. Space Force’s FA2518 USSF SPOC/SAIO office located at Peterson AFB, Colorado. Proposals must be submitted electronically through the Procurement Integrated Enterprise Environment (PIEE) system by the deadline of May 1, 2026, with detailed submission instructions outlined in Attachments 8 and 9 of Section L. Access to the full solicitation materials, including amendments and pricing documentation, is strictly controlled and requires a valid and approved DD Form 2345 for military technical data access. Offerors must obtain documents from two separate SAM.gov postings—primary solicitation FA251826RP002 and the related COSMOS RFI 1—due to file size limitations. Amendments 0001 and 0002 have been issued, with the most recent update on April 28, 2026, correcting the Total Evaluated Price formula in Attachment 5 – Pricing Workbook to avoid double-counting the TESA CLIN value. The NAICS code 517810 applies with a size standard of $11.0 million in average annual receipts, and no socioeconomic set-aside is authorized. The place of performance is Colorado Springs, Colorado. Contract administration, payments, and inspections are governed by internal Space Force procedures, with key points of contact for access and inquiries being Stephanie Tancik, Carol Rogers, and Alex Bragado. Specific details regarding contract type, evaluation factors, pricing structure, inspection criteria, packaging requirements, and special contract clauses are contained in restricted attachments and sections that require authorized access via SAM.gov and a cleared DD Form 2345.
