Domestic Datalink Services (DDLS) FY 2027 Industry Day December 8-10, 2026
Solicitation # 693KA8-26-R-DDLSID
The Federal Aviation Administration is conducting market research through an Industry Day event from December 8 to 10, 2026, to inform the future acquisition of Domestic Datalink Services (DDLS). This initiative aims to replace the Data Communication Integrated Services contract expiring on September 30, 2029. The primary objective is to secure operational network services and monitoring, known as Data Communications Network Service, to support the EnRoute Automation Modernization System and Tower datalink System. These services are critical for the routing and delivery of Controller Pilot Data Link Communication messages for Air Traffic Control within Domestic NAS airspace, requiring 24/7 availability. The FAA is considering the establishment of one or multiple 10-year contracts, utilizing either a Firm Fixed Price performance-based structure or a Firm Fixed Price with Economic Price Adjustments. While this notice is not a formal solicitation or a request for proposals, the agency is seeking vendor capability statements under NAICS Code 517810 to refine its acquisition strategy, with a formal Screening Information Request expected in the second quarter of FY2029. Interested vendors must submit registration forms and capability statements by November 10, 2026, to Pearl Winston. Notably, the FAA operates under its own Acquisition Management System (AMS) rather than the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR).

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.
