Notice of Intent to Sole Source - Aalyria Technologies, Inc.

NASA/Space Communications and Navigation (SCaN) - Network Integration division at NASA Marshal Space Flight Center (MSFC) has a requirement for a common network orchestration layer connecting SCaN's ground antennas, in-space satellites, control centers, and mission users across a heterogeneous set of both government-owned and commercial networks.

SCaN's network portfolio has historically consisted of a limited number of government-owned and vertically integrated networks such as the Deep Space Network (DSN) and Near Space Network (NSN). This portfolio is rapidly evolving into a more complex ecosystem comprising:

Near-Earth — The Communications Services Project (CSP) provides commercial space-relay services, succeeding the TDRS relay function.

Cislunar — LEGS (ground / Direct-with-Earth) and LCRNS (orbital relay and navigation) extend coverage to the Moon, including the far side and south pole.

Mars — The Mars Telecommunications Network (MTN) provides a dedicated relay at Mars.

Each of these networks arrives with its own operations complex, ground or relay system, scheduling process, and service interface. Left unintegrated, this diversity becomes the responsibility of individual NASA missions, which must separately discover, request, schedule, and monitor services from each network they touch. A unified Enterprise Service Management Network Orchestration Platform (ENOP) capability is needed to realize the "One Network" vision for SCaN network operations.

The objective of this effort is to establish a single, unified ENOP capability such that the union of multiple SCaN systems behave as a unified network supporting an extensible set of missions.

NASA/Information Technology Procurement Office (ITPO) intends to issue a sole source contract to acquire the services from:
