Summary

AI-generated · Feb 28, 2026

Support is being sought to gauge industry capabilities to perform mission support for satellite ground station operations and spacecraft command and control at the Blossom Point Tracking Facility in Maryland. This is an information-gathering RFI, not a formal solicitation, and no awards will result from responses; there is no current solicitation. A small business set-aside decision may be made based on responses. The anticipated contract structure is an indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity arrangement with cost-plus-fixed-fee task orders over five years, as a partial follow-on to the current IDIQ.

Respondents should provide capabilities/resources relevant to the attached draft SOW and PQs, prior experience of similar scope, and a list of related government or commercial contracts in the last five years. Include any questions or suggestions and any assumptions used in formulating the response. Submit at least company information (name, point of contact, phone, address, email), business size/socioeconomic category, number of employees, and CAGE; indicate facility clearance status and government contracting vehicles held. Responses must be in Word or PDF, no more than five pages, and sent by email to the designated contract specialist; do not submit classified material. Any information marked as proprietary should be protected.

No awards will be made from the responses to this announcement. The Government will not reimburse any costs associated with the development and submission of materials in response to this request. There is no solicitation available at this time. However, should a requirement materialize, no basis for claims against NRL shall arise as a result of a response to this notice or NRL s use of such information as either part of our evaluation process or in developing specifications for any subsequent requirement. Inquiries for additional information other than that provided herein will receive no response. Objective: The intent of this RFI is to gauge industry interest, small business interest, capabilities and relevant experience to support NRL personnel in performing the task areas listed above.
