The U.S. Space Force is seeking industry input through a draft Request for Proposal and Request for Information for the Enterprise Payload Processing Management initiative, which aims to unify and centralize the scheduling and procurement of payload processing services across national security, civil, and commercial missions. Currently managed ad hoc by individual System Program Offices, this effort will transition to a single, government-led process under Space Access to maximize limited processing capacity and improve schedule visibility. The planned procurement will be structured as a Multiple Award Indefinite-Delivery, Indefinite-Quantity contract with a five-year base period, featuring annual on-ramps to ensure a dynamic and competitive industrial base, allowing new entrants and existing contractors to add capabilities. Once on the IDIQ, qualified firms will compete for specific mission task orders through Fair Opportunity Proposal Requests. Responses to the draft solicitation are due by 1500 Pacific Time on August 6, 2026, and must be submitted via SAM.gov, with additional controlled documents available through DoD SAFE upon request to the designated Contracting Officer and Contract Specialist. The North American Industry Classification System code is 336414 with a size standard of 1,300 employees, and small business inquiries can be directed to the specified Small Business point of contact. The Government explicitly states this is a draft solicitation for information only, not a formal solicitation, and responses will not be considered offers or form the basis of any binding agreement. No costs incurred in response will be reimbursed. All submissions will be handled under confidentiality agreements, and proprietary information may be shared with approved support contractors performing technical and advisory services for the program office. The final RFP is projected for release in the first quarter of fiscal year 2027.

This is a DRAFT Request for Proposal (RFP) notice and Request for Information (RFI) for Enterprise Payload Processing Management (EPPM).


A. Overview


Space Access is transitioning to a centralized management model to optimize the use of limited payload processing capacity, and increased schedule insight for commercial PPFs across NSS, civil, and commercial missions. This effort, EPPM, will transition from the ad hoc approach where individual System Program Offices (SPOs) and their SV contractors procure PPF services to a centralized approach where Space Access will schedule and procure PPF services for the USSF SV SPOs.


The Government requests a comprehensive review and feedback to the Draft RFP solicitation as well as the Request for Information questions.


B. EPPM Draft RFP #1


  1. The EPPM Multiple Award Indefinite-Delivery, Indefinite-Quantity (IDIQ) contracts will feature a five (5) year basic ordering period. To ensure a competitive and modern industrial base, the Government intends to utilize on-ramp procedures on an annual basis, or when market research identifies new qualified providers. These on-ramps will afford new entrants the opportunity to compete for an IDIQ contract award and receive the initial minimum order for Order Year 1 "Schedule and Technical Insight" Task Order. Additionally, the Government plans to open the IDIQ annually—and dynamically when market research dictates—to allow existing contract holders to add newly available capabilities to their contracts.
  2. Once on the IDIQ basic contract, the IDIQ basic contract holders who meet the minimum IDIQ Payload Processing Task Order qualification criteria will be able to compete for specific mission(s) Payload Processing Services Task Orders via a Fair Opportunity Proposal Request (FOPR).
  3. The EPPM RFI and draft RFP is posted to SAM.gov, however Compliance Documents, Reference Documents, and Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) marked draft RFP documents may be provided via DoD SAFE upon request.
