RFI Space Systems and Supporting Infrastructure

The Department of Defense, specifically the HQ Acc Amic office, has issued a sources-sought Request for Information under solicitation FA4890RFI0002 for Space Systems and Supporting Infrastructure. The primary objective is the development and configuration of high-fidelity emulated satellite systems, which includes the continued development of Redwire's proprietary ACORN 2.0 software. The scope of work encompasses providing comprehensive IT infrastructure, network configurations, and the development of bridges and interfaces for spacecraft sub-systems to ensure compatibility between hardware and software. The contractor is expected to deliver hardware and software capable of running simulations for satellite constellation optimization, high-fidelity spacecraft communications, and supply chain models, ensuring integration with tools such as AGI Systems Tool Kit and Cameo Enterprise Architecture. Key deliverables include detailed system requirements, architectural diagrams, integration protocols, and a comprehensive validation report confirming the system's readiness for operational deployment. The contractor must perform final test and validation procedures on the emulator environment before shipping the equipment to the government location in Dahlgren, Virginia. Strict adherence to Department of War and government cybersecurity standards is required, specifically regarding data encryption, integrity, and unauthorized access prevention. Interested parties must provide capability statements by November 3, 2026, to demonstrate their ability to meet these technical and security requirements.
