User Continuity and Sustainability Network Extension Services

The Alabama-based government authority is seeking a vendor to provide user continuity and sustainability network extension services. The agency needs to define mission objectives, measurable performance outcomes, and constraints that will allow industry partners to propose commercially scalable, technically credible, and secure solutions. The primary goal is to maintain legacy service availability by enabling service readiness within an acceptable timeframe. The scope of work requires the execution of end-to-end concurrent forward and return relay services, which includes scheduling, service activation, data delivery, monitoring, and full relay between the customer platform and the Ground Service Interface. The selected partner must verify service requirements and validate performance, coverage, concurrency, handovers, and operational execution through an on-orbit demonstration across the space, ground, network, scheduling, user, and Ground Service Interface elements. Additionally, the project involves generating technical, operational, schedule, cost, user-integration, and service-assurance data to inform future government decisions regarding sustained relay services and long-term mission delivery. Eligibility is restricted to onshore organizations based in the United States. The performing organization will conduct all work offsite. The agency has not disclosed a specific budget and is looking for proposals to determine the cost.
