Description
The Space Development Agency (SDA) is issuing this Other Transaction Authority (OT) solicitation to establish the foundation for Tranche 2 (T2) of the Proliferated Warfighter Space Architecture (PWSA). The PWSA’s operational utility is predicated on the availability of a ubiquitous data and communications Transport Layer provided by a proliferated constellation of relatively small, mass-producible space vehicles (SVs) in low Earth orbit (LEO). The Tranche 2 Transport Layer (T2TL) SVs will be similar to those currently under development for the Tranche 1 Transport Layer (T1TL) with targeted technology enhancements, mission-focused payload configurations, increased integration, and greater production efficiencies. T2TL will provide global communications access and deliver persistent regional encrypted connectivity in support of Warfighter missions around the globe.
The SDA T2TL - Alpha Program Solicitation is attached. For the T2TL - Alpha Bidder’s Library, please send an email to osd.pentagon.ousd-r-e.mbx.sda-ps-23-04@mail.mil no later than 10 July 2023 at 12:00 PM EDT with the subject line “SDA T2TL Alpha Solicitation Attachments Request.” Please include your organization’s CAGE code and location in your request. SDA will endeavor to respond to all requests in the order that they are received and within one business day of receipt.
If a US company does not have, at minimum, a Secret Level Facility, there must be an Active Unique Entity Identifer (UEI) number for the company, along with a signed NDA on record at SDA, prior to the company receiving CUI materials. A foreign company must team with a US Prime Contractor company in order to receive any CUI materials directly from the US Prime Contractor company.
Proposals received after 1200 PM EDT 28 July 2023 will be considered late and not evaluated.
