Solicitation description
3 April 2026 BL 20, 21, 22, and 23 are not in the Attachments/Links Section. 13 March 2026 A solicitation has been posted for Commercial and Military Satellite Communications Operations Support (COSMOS)t and can be found under Solicitation Number FA251826RP002 in Sam.gov. 3 March 2026 The second draft of RFP FA251826RP002 and its 14 attachments are now available for review. The Government does not anticipate significant changes between this draft and the final version of the RFP. Draft RFP Q&A Round 2 is also available. To view the documents, please request access in the Attachments/Links section and send a current, approved DD Form 2345 to Ms. Stephanie Tancik (stephanie.tancik.1@spaceforce.mil) and Ms. Carol Rogers (carol.rogers.3@spaceforce.mil), if you have not already done so. Important Notice for All Offerors: The Government has incorporated industry feedback and made several updates since the initial draft. All parties are strongly encouraged to conduct a thorough review of all documents. Please pay special attention to the revisions within Section L (Instructions, Conditions, and Notices to Offerors) and Section M (Evaluation Factors for Award). Specifically, note the changes and further clarifications made to the experience factors under section L-8.1.2. Factor 1 - Worldwide Logistics and ITAR Compliance Changed to allow offerors to submit 1 experience example from the proposing prime and 1 experience example from either the proposing prime or the proposing subcontractor. Factor 2 – C-ICP (or equivalent) Changed the required contract experience to 1 year. All experience examples must be from the proposing prime. Examples from the proposing subcontractor will not be considered or allowed. Added the definition of proposing prime. Factor 3 – TESA All experience examples must be from the proposing prime. Examples from the proposing subcontractor will not be considered or allowed. Added the definition of proposing prime. Please note: Under Factor 2 – C-ICP (or equivalent), experience is allowed only from the proposing prime. C-ICP experience from the proposing prime is paramount because the failure to meticulously manage government property related to this mission can directly impact mission readiness and national security. A lapse in property management for these critical systems could ground essential communication capabilities and jeopardize global military operations. Under Factor 3 – TESA, experience is allowed only from the proposing prime. Proven TESA experience and expertise is critical to timely approvals and uninterrupted access to the COSMOS sites in Germany. These locations directly support WGS and DSCS constellations and provide essential communications to the U.S., NATO, and Allied partners. The experience for Factor 2 and Factor 3 must reside with the proposing prime contractor, as the prime contractor holds the ultimate accountability and direct contractual responsibility for the entire program.
