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 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.

Ground Station as a Service

Solicitation # 1332KP27DGSAAS

The Department of Commerce, through NOAA and NESDIS, intends to award a sole-source, firm-fixed-price contract to ATLAS Space Operations Inc. valued between 7 million and 10 million dollars. The contract focuses on procuring scalable telemetry, tracking, and command aperture services to provide satellite-to-ground communication. This effort supports the delivery of environmental data from remote platforms, including missions such as COSMIC-2, KOMPSAT-5, and PAZ, and encompasses site certification, telemetry downlink, and satellite commanding data services. The government is pursuing a non-competitive procurement because ATLAS is identified as the only vendor with the necessary operational authorizations, non-transferable international spectrum licenses, and qualified front-end processor architectures required to avoid mission-critical data loss and schedule disruptions. While this is a notice of intent for a sole-source award, other responsible sources may submit capability statements to the contracting officer for evaluation to determine if a competitive procurement is warranted.
