Ku-Band Geostationary Satellite Transponder BandwidthThe Department of Commerce NIST is conducting market research through a Sources Sought notice for Ku-Band geostationary satellite transponder bandwidth to support the continuation of its Two-Way Satellite Time and Frequency Transfer (TWSTFT) network without interruption. This effort is not a solicitation for quotes or proposals, and no responses will be accepted for award purposes at this time; the purpose is solely to identify potential vendors capable of providing the required service. The acquisition seeks a one-year bandwidth service beginning November 27, 2026, with full authorization to transmit on a geostationary satellite transponder due by November 20, 2026. The service must meet strict technical specifications, including uplink frequencies between 14.0 GHz and 14.5 GHz, downlink frequencies between 10.95 GHz and 12.5 GHz, BPSK modulation at a 2.5 Mc/s symbol rate, approximately 4 MHz occupied bandwidth, and a minimum EIRP of 42 dBW. The transponder must be located between 30°W and 45°W longitude and be fully compatible with existing TimeTech SATRE modems. A signed letter of supply from the satellite transponder owner/operator is required to guarantee availability, and vendors must comply with all transmission control requirements issued by the owner. Responses must include the company name providing the service, the manufacturer, country of origin, technical data sheets demonstrating experience, typical lead time, and other relevant details, limited to four pages and submitted electronically to deionne.jones@nist.gov by the posted deadline. Proprietary information must be clearly marked, and marketing materials are explicitly excluded from consideration. Payment, when a contract is eventually awarded, will follow Net 30 terms in arrears, with annual service billed monthly across three collaboration members: NIST (25%), USNO (25%), and PTB Germany (50%). Full payment is contingent upon successful installation, testing, demonstration of technical compliance, and submission of a proper invoice. The NIST POC or COR has seven days to review and accept or request revisions on deliverables. The procurement is classified under NAICS code 517410 for Satellite Telecommunications, and the office is located in Gaithersburg, MD.

MEO Satellite UHF Bandwidth ProvisioningThe contract seeks commercial medium Earth orbit satellite access with UHF bandwidth capabilities to support government experimental missions, encompassing telemetry, tracking, and command functions as well as on-orbit operations. This subcontract is intended to provide secure, reliable satellite communications infrastructure for Department of Defense objectives, leveraging existing commercial satellite systems to enable advanced experimentation in a non-geosynchronous orbital environment. The scope requires the vendor to deliver end-to-end satellite services including bandwidth allocation, signal routing, and real-time operational support through UHF frequencies optimized for government use. Performance of this contract is centered in Albuquerque, New Mexico, with all operational and technical activities aligned to meet the needs of the Air Force Research Laboratory under the FA9453 contract office. The solicitation was posted on July 10, 2026, and responses are due by August 10, 2026, with a North American Industry Classification System code of 517410 indicating telecommunications satellite services. The contract is structured as a subcontract under the broader Department of Defense framework and does not include any set-aside provisions, allowing qualified commercial providers to compete for the opportunity to deliver mission-critical satellite access capabilities.

CAPACITY ON A UHF-CAPABLE ON-ORBIT MEO SATELLITEThe U.S. Department of Defense, through the Air Force Research Laboratory’s Space Vehicles Directorate, is seeking information on commercially owned and operated MEO satellites with UHF-capable payloads to support a near-term experimental campaign. The goal is to rapidly acquire available bandwidth on an existing or soon-to-be-launched satellite to conduct field tests that characterize spectrum usage, waveform performance, and user equipment functionality in a MEO UHF environment. The campaign aims to evaluate interoperability between potential future MEO UHF systems and the current GEO-based UHF constellation, with the broader objective of informing a phased transition strategy to augment or eventually replace the aging GEO UHF infrastructure with a more resilient MEO capability. The government prioritizes solutions that can deliver on-orbit service immediately or as soon as possible, with an initial launch capability by 2030 being acceptable but earlier timelines strongly preferred. The prototype is explicitly intended as a foundational step rather than a final architecture, allowing for iterative exploration of MEO UHF operations. The solicitation, issued as RFI-RJZX-2026-RAPID on July 10, 2026, with a response deadline of August 10, 2026, falls under NAICS code 517410 and is classified as a sources-sought notice, indicating no formal procurement is yet planned. Responses should focus on leveraging existing satellite systems and communications links to minimize deployment timelines. All proposals must be submitted through the SAM.gov portal, with inquiries directed to Paola Sanchez-Medina and DeAnna R. Salazar at the Space Force office located at Kirtland Air Force Base in New Mexico. The performance location is listed as Albuquerque, NM, and the effort is part of a broader initiative to accelerate the development of next-generation tactical communications by experimenting with higher-orbit assets ahead of full-scale system acquisition.
