This RFI is for SSC/SYD 89-SYZ. Additional market research may or may not be conducted. Responses from small businesses are encouraged. This RFI is focused on surveying industry space-based, WFOV optical capability. The Government is interested in sensors capable of detecting resident space objects at 14.5 visual magnitude with special interest in sensors capable of detection at 16+ visual magnitude at a solar exclusion angle of 60 degrees from sensor boresight. The Government is especially interested in sensors that are capable of searching a solid angle 40 degrees in right ascension by +/- 15 degrees declination in 30 minutes or less from an ESPA-class bus to conduct wide-area volume search. Recent (≤5 years), relevant demonstrated success with low/moderate cost, build/production (≤2 (preferred) year sensor builds) of sensors performing the mission described in Section 3.II & 3.III below is desired, which may include development that is underway, modified existing design, or already fielded. High Technology Readiness Level (TRL) products and services, as well as re-use opportunities are of interest. “Low/moderate-cost” and “rapid” production must result in acceptable programmatic and technical risk to the Government.

Space-to-Space (S2S) Communication Broad Agency Announcement (BAA)
Solicitation # FA8819-25-R-B006
Broad Agency Announcement FA8819-25-R-B006 is a solicitation by the Space Systems Command Space Combat Power Program Executive Office to advance state-of-the-art technology in proliferated low Earth orbit for space-to-space communications and space networking. The program focuses on optical communication advancements, including interoperability for heterogeneous constellations and low SWaP-C terminals, as well as advanced data links capable of operating in contested environments or through plasma sheaths. The BAA covers a 60-month period of performance from September 15, 2025, to September 14, 2030, with individual project durations up to five years. Specific initiatives include Call 1.1, which targets the development and demonstration of the Link-182 space-to-space communications system, and Call 1.2, which focuses on pLEO mesh concepts and the establishment of an Industry Consortium for Space-to-Space Communications. The procurement is conducted under FAR Subparts 15 and 35, utilizing a scientific peer review process for selection based on technical merit, importance to USSF programs, and funds availability. Proposals are evaluated through pass/fail gates regarding responsiveness and cost, followed by a weighted assessment of contribution to focus areas and technical approach. Awardees are categorized by the strength of their proposals, with Category I being the most selectable. Submission requirements include a three-part proposal consisting of administrative documents, a cost/price proposal in unlocked Excel format, and a technical proposal. Mandatory compliance includes the submission of an Organizational Conflict of Interest statement and, for awards exceeding 750,000 dollars to non-small businesses, a formal subcontracting plan meeting specific FY25 goals for small businesses, HUBZone, SDVOSB, SDB, and WOSB entities.
