Solicitation # HQ0860-26-S-C008

The United States Space Force Satellite Communication Augmentation Resource (SCAR) Program Office, utilizing the Missile Defense Agency, is issuing solicitation HQ0860-26-S-C008 as a two-phase closed variant Commercial Solutions Opening. The program seeks innovative prototype solutions to modernize Ground Entry Point and Network Operations Center capabilities, providing robust Telemetry, Tracking, and Commanding support for satellites across all orbital regimes. The scope is divided into three Areas of Interest: the rapid delivery and operation of government-owned commercial capabilities (AOI 1), the provision of exclusive leased commercial antenna capacity (AOI 2), and an Antenna as a Service model via a multi-tenant global network (AOI 3). Awards may be executed as Other Transaction Agreements or FAR-based contracts, with a strong preference for Firm-Fixed Price arrangements. The acquisition process begins with a Phase 1 White Paper evaluation based on the merit of the proposed concept, followed by a Phase 2 full proposal for selected offerors. Technical merit and importance to program requirements are the primary evaluation factors, outweighing price. Security requirements vary by AOI; AOI 1 requires offerors to hold a Secret facility security clearance and safeguarding approval at the time of submission, while AOIs 2 and 3 do not. Access to the controlled unclassified information in the Offeror's Library requires a CMMC Level II self-assessment, and access to export-controlled documents further requires an active DD Form 2345. Technical solutions must demonstrate high maturity, specifically TRL 7-9 for AOI 1 and TRL 8-9 for AOI 3.
