Proposals are due December 8, 1:00 PM CT; NASA expects awards in spring 2027.

Special notice SDA-SN-27-0003, a request for information on on-orbit demonstrations and operations for Tranche 4 of the Tracking Layer, the missile warning and tracking constellation. NAICS 541715, no set-aside listed. Responses are due December 4, noon ET.

Presolicitation 80GRC027R0003 from Glenn: NASA intends to sole source a public-private partnership for Lunar Exploration Ground Sites, the Earth-side antenna sites planned for lunar mission communications. Other interested sources have until October 30, 3:00 PM ET to respond.

Request for proposal FA240126R0003 for ground entry points serving the Resilient Missile Warning Tracking low Earth orbit constellation. NAICS 541715, no set-aside. Proposals were due November 2; an October 13 update moved the due date to November 23, 4:00 PM ET. This is a solicitation, not a market survey.

Presolicitation 1332KP27R0001 for the Marine Optical BuoY, the vicarious calibration reference for NOAA satellite ocean color systems. It posted October 14, the day before the earlier sole-source notice closed. NAICS 541715. Responses are due October 30, 4:00 PM ET.

The precursor science element for the same observatory. Precursor science is the target list: which stars are worth pointing a ten-billion-dollar telescope at, decided before the telescope exists.

Sources sought 80JSC027RPOC6 from Johnson Space Center for Rendezvous, Proximity Operations and Capture VI. A separate notice the same day, 80JSC023DA007, raises the ceiling on the current RPOC-V contract. NAICS 541330. Responses are due October 28, 5:00 PM CT.

JPL sources sought SBPO-2610-03092026, NAICS 336414, reposted October 6 with the close moved from October 2 to October 30, 3:00 PM PT. The notice asks for small businesses with demonstrated experience across the power lifecycle, naming solar arrays, batteries, power electronics and distribution, high-power and high-voltage systems, direct-drive architectures, and energy storage. Experience with solar array degradation and with power interactions with electric propulsion is called out as particularly relevant. Responses to the JPL Small Business Programs Office.

JPL sources sought SBPO-2610-01092026, the twin of the power notice above, same NAICS, reposted the same day to the same October 30 close. It seeks small businesses across propulsion system architecture, thruster and feed-system design, modeling and simulation, power processing and propellant systems, fabrication, environmental and performance testing, and failure analysis. Hall thrusters, plasma diagnostics, vacuum facilities, and plume interaction testing are called out.

JPL sources sought SBPO-2610-09012026, the third of the three notices first posted September 1 and reposted October 6 to an October 30 close. It seeks small businesses working in HPSC-based processors and single-board computers, SOSA S3C and SpaceVPX architectures, plug-in cards and chassis, high-speed networking and data interfaces, flight software, and hardware and software integration. Experience carrying a development system through to flight-qualified hardware is called out as particularly relevant.

Special notice RFI-WFF-PayloadProcessing-2026. Payload processing capacity is the quiet bottleneck at a launch site: a range can host more launches than it can prepare spacecraft for, and Wallops is asking industry how to widen it. Amendment 01 adds an industry day and registration instructions.

Sources sought SDA-SN-26-0016 for PEREGRINE Sentry, the Performance Enhanced Real-time Ground Environment. NAICS 541715, no set-aside listed. Responses are due October 30, 5:00 PM ET.

Kill-web Operations Sustainment and Maintenance of Space Domain Awareness Systems. A July 17 update says the government now plans to use existing contract vehicles such as multiple-award IDIQs instead of creating its own, competing each requirement separately as task orders spread over the next few years.

The facilities element under ROSES 2025 planetary science. Enabling facilities are the sample curation labs, the analog test beds, and the instrument development shops that every planetary mission draws on and no single mission funds.

Special notice NASA-USSA-RFI: NASA asks for information on creating a United States Space Academy. NAICS 531. Responses are due November 16, 5:00 PM CT.

FA8810-RFI-26-SYD84-E3E4. The medium Earth orbit layer of the missile warning and tracking architecture, two epochs out. MEO is the orbit the tracking mission moved to when GEO stopped being survivable.

Announcement for Partnership Proposals NNH26ZDA015L, Atmospheric Exploration Observatory, from NASA Headquarters. NAICS 54171, no set-aside. Partnership proposals are due December 2, 4:00 PM CT.

Sources sought 80JSC024R0004: NASA is looking for facilities to host the Deep Space Autonomous Robotics Challenge. NAICS 541990. Expressions of interest are due January 31, 2027, 5:00 PM ET.

FA240126S0001, the Proliferated Warfighter Space Architecture BAA. Open for another eighteen months, which makes it the longest runway on this page.

FA882026PKLBAS2. A July 17 update from Space Systems Command says the Space Force program office appreciated the sources sought submissions but is no longer pursuing the commercial large language model module for space domain awareness training.

Modification P00380 to FA8823-20-C-0004 adds $33,141,075 to the L3Harris Unified Messaging System contract, raising its cumulative face value to $1,527,155,327. Work is at Colorado Springs and Vandenberg SFB and is expected to finish in October 2028. DoD announced the award October 13, said October 14 it had not been released, and confirmed October 16 that it was awarded that day.

The UK Space Agency named ClearSpace prime for the UK Active Debris Removal mission, which will remove two defunct UK-registered satellites. ClearSpace puts the contract at GBP 61M. Operations are targeted for 2029, subject to launch scheduling.

L3Harris ($955M) and Sierra Space ($798M) won fixed-price OTAs to build 36 accelerated Tranche 3 Tracking Layer satellites by the end of 2028 in support of Golden Dome for America. Schedule compression stacked on the existing constellation.

Viasat and Intelsat split $437.7M for the first two operational GEO Protected Tactical SATCOM-Global birds, standing up a new global anti-jam tier of the protected-tactical family beyond the earlier design-phase picks.

A $514M add put two more GPS IIIF space vehicles on contract with Lockheed Martin, bringing the run to 14 and locking the Regional Military Protection anti-jam upgrade as the baseline path for position, navigation, and timing.
