FY27 Requirement - RF-Satellite Data

The Department of Commerce is forecasting a requirement for RF-Satellite Data to fulfill a congressional directive aimed at operationalizing commercial space-based radio frequency data collection. The primary objective of this initiative is to detect and track foreign vessels involved in illegal, unreported, and unregulated fishing. The project is expected to utilize capabilities from either Hawkeye360 or Starboard, with the final requirements still under discussion. This forecast, posted on August 21, 2026, falls under NAICS code 518210 and lists Silver Spring as the place of performance. Depending on whether Starboard is selected, additional requirements under REQUIREMENTS-26-4535 may be incorporated into the final contract. Sylvia Scott serves as the primary point of contact for this effort.
