DESCRIPTION


The agency is seeking information from vendors capable of providing a cloud-based ground entry points-as-a-service development roadmaps system. Responses should describe technical capabilities and a notional ground entry point architecture, including existing and planned global antenna footprints and their ability to support agency orbital planes.

Vendors should provide anticipated schedules and timelines, compatibility considerations, and testing approaches for making existing and new antennas operational. Information should address hardware and software development, integration and verification testing—including end-to-end integration with agency ground systems—and transition-to-operations activities and events.

Responses should also describe the proposed commercial business model, key cost drivers, and any existing contractor-owned or contractor-operated antennas that could be immediately leveraged as scheduled or dedicated ground entry points-as-a-service resources. Questions must be submitted no later than September 24, 2026.
