Rocket Systems Launch Program (RSLP) Innovative Delivery of Effects (RIDE) Supplemental Request for Information (RFI) – Industry Statements of Capability (SOCs)

Solicitation # RIDE2026

The Space Systems Command's Rocket Systems Launch Program is implementing the Innovative Delivery of Effects acquisition strategy to provide responsive space, experimental, and research, development, test and evaluation launch services for the Department of War and other government agencies. This strategy succeeds the OSP-4, SRP-O, and SRP-4 programs and aims to support a wide range of missions, from low Earth orbit payloads to suborbital vehicle development. The government is contemplating the use of two multiple-award indefinite-delivery indefinite-quantity contract vehicles. One IDIQ will focus on commercial Space Transportation Services using fixed-price structures, while the second will address non-commercial Space-Related Activity launch services, which may involve complex research and development and utilize hybrid cost-reimbursement and fixed-price task orders. The current supplemental request for information seeks statements of capability from industry to refine acquisition requirements and determine commerciality. Interested companies must provide details on their flight heritage, launch vehicle production processes, and their ability to meet mission assurance requirements. The government is specifically looking for feedback on streamlining mission assurance practices and identifying high-value deliverables for minimum award guarantees to avoid duplicating previous acquisitions. Potential contractors for the non-commercial IDIQ must demonstrate the ability to perform cost-reimbursement contracts, including maintaining approved accounting systems. An industry day is scheduled for September 22 through 23, 2026, at Kirtland Air Force Base, with statements of capability due by October 2, 2026.
