Solicitation # FA251827RCNECTS
The Communications, Network, Engineering, Cybersecurity, and Information Technology Services (CNECTS) acquisition is a high-priority effort by the Space Acquisition and Integration Office (SAIO) to consolidate multiple legacy IT support contracts into a single unified framework. Supporting the 21st Communications Squadron, the contract provides critical services across Peterson Space Force Base, Schriever Space Force Base, and Cheyenne Mountain Space Force Station. The scope focuses on mission systems, technical control, and the standardization of network infrastructure via AFNET, with a specific emphasis on modernization through data-driven automation, Zero Trust Architecture, and secure DevOps. This effort is structured as a 100% small business set-aside under NAICS 517810, with an estimated value of approximately 330 million dollars. The procurement utilizes a phased Commercial Solutions Opening (CSO) process rather than traditional FAR 15 procedures, consisting of a white paper submission, optional pitch sessions, and a final technical and price proposal. Evaluation is based on technical merit, importance to agency programs, and overall price and value, with a preference for a hybrid contract structure including firm-fixed-price and incentive-fee CLINs. The anticipated timeline includes a contract award on March 31, 2027, followed by a 60-day phase-in period and a base period starting June 1, 2027, extending through five option years and a final six-month extension.
