Description

As published on SAM.gov.

The procurement instrument was a commercial Task order - Firm-Fixed-Price (FFP) - award to Iridium Satellite LLC for a series of Critical Factors Analysis (CFA) studies addressing the Iridium PLEO Constellation and its Services, and generalized PLEO Constellations and Services.

The Commercial Space Office (CSO) officially transitioned to SSC from the Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) in FY26; vetting through the new SSC Public Affairs and OPSEC review processes delayed publication within the mandated 14-day post-award window.
