Request for Information (RFI) for a Cislunar Space System (CSS)
Solicitation # 10302026-01
The Department of the Air Force is conducting market research via a Request for Information to inform the acquisition strategy for a Cislunar Space System (CSS). The objective is the rapid development and fielding of up to five space vehicles by late CY29 to serve as seed vehicles for a potential future proliferated cislunar constellation. The system requires a comprehensive solution including spacecraft buses, a ground segment for mission management and telemetry, launch integration for government-provided National Security Space Launch boosters, and ongoing operations and maintenance. Technical requirements specify a payload capacity of up to 2,000 kg, power thresholds between 1 kW and 3 kW, three-axis stabilization with 6-DOF thruster control, and the implementation of NSA Type-I encryption. The government is seeking low-risk solutions with minimal non-recurring engineering, prioritizing buses that have flown within the last three years or will complete system-level integration within 24 months. Design life thresholds are set at three to five years with 0.6 reliability, and end-of-life disposal must comply with Orbital Debris Mitigation Standard Practices. Based on the RFI responses, the government may award up to five Firm Fixed Price preliminary design study contracts. Evaluation of respondents will focus on technical, schedule, and production risks, as well as overall execution ability and prior domain expertise in cislunar-qualified vehicles. Responses must be submitted electronically by November 13, 2026, and include a completed Summary Response Template and a technical narrative limited to fifteen pages.

This effort is strictly limited to aircraft in non-flight storage status and specifically excludes any return-to-flight maintenance or airworthiness restoration. The scope of work includes mitigating fuel, hydraulic, and oil leaks, replacing unserviceable tires, and providing ground towing and repositioning services within the installation. The contractor is responsible for providing all management, labor, tools, and equipment, utilizing Government-furnished spare tires until exhausted before providing equivalent replacements. The contract is structured for a three-year period of performance, consisting of one base year and two option years. Performance is based on an as-needed basis with strict response timelines, including acknowledgment of service requests within four hours and on-site arrival for active fuel leaks within one business day. The contractor must provide at least three tow-certified individuals for towing events and submit service reports within two business days of completion. Quality is measured by a 95 percent acceptable quality level for repair completeness and documentation, and a 100 percent standard for safety compliance and tire equivalence. This acquisition is being conducted as a sole-source procurement under simplified acquisition procedures due to the unique technical expertise of Sierra Nevada Company LLC.
