U.S. Customs and Border Protection plans to award a sole-source, firm fixed price contract to NAL Research in Manassas, Virginia, for a base year of uninterrupted internet service required to transmit and display real-time GPS data from Iridium satellite tracking devices to the Air and Marine Operations Center. The service is critical to maintaining continuous operational visibility, as the GPS information depends entirely on NAL Research’s proprietary satellite infrastructure, making this a non-competitive acquisition due to unique technical requirements and system dependencies. The period of performance for the base year runs from October 1, 2026, through September 30, 2027. The contract notice, issued under solicitation number 20159779 and categorized under NAICS code 517410, was posted on August 6, 2026, with a response deadline of August 14, 2026, at 3:00 p.m. Any interested parties seeking to challenge the sole-source determination must submit a capabilities statement demonstrating their ability to meet the technical specifications to Michael Hall at Michael.A.Hall@cbp.dhs.gov by the deadline.

CAPACITY ON A UHF-CAPABLE ON-ORBIT MEO SATELLITE
Solicitation # RFI-RJZX-2026-RAPID
The Department of Defense, through the Air Force Research Laboratory’s RVK office, is seeking information on commercially owned and operated MEO satellites with UHF capabilities to support an experimental campaign aimed at evaluating the feasibility of augmenting or eventually replacing the existing GEO-based UHF satellite constellation. The objective is to rapidly acquire access to on-orbit bandwidth to conduct testing that characterizes spectrum usage, waveform performance, and user equipment operation with a MEO UHF system, while also demonstrating interoperability with current GEO assets. The government prioritizes solutions that can deliver immediate or near-term on-orbit capability, with an initial launch capability by 2030 considered useful but not optimal—earlier deployment is strongly encouraged. This initiative is not a procurement but a market research effort to inform a phased roadmap toward a future MEO UHF architecture, with the understanding that the prototype will serve as a foundational step rather than a final system. The solicitation, identified as RFI-RJZX-2026-RAPID, was issued on July 28, 2026, with responses due by August 10, 2026, and was updated on July 23, 2026, to correct uplink and downlink frequency band specifications and replace the original RFI document with an amended version. The point of contact for inquiries is Paola Sanchez-Medina, with secondary support from DeAnna R. Salazar, and performance is expected to be centered in Albuquerque, New Mexico. No contract value, evaluation criteria, delivery schedules, or formal clauses are specified as this is a pre-solicitation request for information intended to gather industry input.

The government explicitly states that this RFI is for informational and planning purposes only and does not intend to award a contract or pay for responses. Respondents are required to provide vendor capability data via a two-part submission: a white paper capped at 15 pages plus Attachment A vendor data form, which collects company information, socioeconomic status, manufacturing readiness, and compliance certifications. The RFI specifies detailed technical and operational requirements reflecting CBP’s need for robust, autonomous, and interoperable sUAS platforms suitable for harsh environments and GNSS-denied conditions. Key features include a 1.5 to 3-hour flight endurance carrying a 5-pound payload; IP54 environmental rating; a 10+ mile operational range with rugged, jam-resistant command and control links compliant with NDAA Section 848; FAA regulatory compliance; and advanced sensor capabilities including EO/IR cameras capable of license plate recognition and human detection at significant distances. The systems must integrate seamlessly with the Android Team Awareness Kit (TAK), support RTSP video streaming with embedded metadata, offer offline mission simulation, and be transportable in a standard SUV. The government mandates a minimum 1-year warranty plus 5 years of software support with US-based repair services. Respondents must affirm regulatory compliance and provide detailed company data. Although no contractual clauses, payment terms, or evaluation factors apply at this stage, the government will use the information gathered to shape a future acquisition strategy and potential formal solicitation posted on SAM.gov.
