Scope: Federal

This is a Combined Synopsis/Solicitation for Request for Quotation no.

FA2521-26-Q-0010 for a Foreign Military Sales (FMS) Technical Services Case between Portfolio Acquisition Executive (PAE) for Space Access (SA) and a Partner Nation (PN) to support the establishment of a PN National Security Space Launch (NSSL) capability at a sovereign spaceport, utilizing a Commercial Launch Vehicle (CLV).

The attached documents provide the information necessary to be able to submit a quote by the stated time and date on this notice.

IMPORTANT: The attached SPLASH SOW is for public posting/dissemination to faciliate vendor engagement and interest and provides a general informational overview of the requirement.

The complete SPLASH SOW requires Contractor Verification* and a signed Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA)** before being able to be obtained.

Each company (individual) must sign a CUI Non-Disclosure Agreement (also included in as an attachment to this notice) and provide it to the Contracting Officer POC to obtain a copy of the complete NDA version of the document. *Contractor Verification: This is to verify that each interested vendor is a legitimate entity authorized to conduct business with the U.S.

Government.

This will be done by confirming they are a contractor with an active SAM.gov registration. **CUI NDA: This legally binds the signer to protect the information and outlines the consequences of unauthorized disclosure.

The NDA is essential for sharing CUI for a lawful government purpose with non-contracted entities.

How to bid on this

This is a contract solicitation, not a grant. To bid, you submit a proposal (usually a price and a description of how you would do the work) directly to the government, through the channel the official listing specifies, not through Oppward.

Make sure your business has an active SAM.gov registration. You cannot be paid on a federal contract without one.
Read the full solicitation on the official listing above, especially the scope of work, not just this summary. Our guide to reading a solicitation walks through what to look for.
Check the set-aside listed above and confirm your business actually qualifies for it before you spend time on a proposal. See our guide to set-asides if the category is unfamiliar.
Submit your proposal by the deadline, using the exact submission method the official listing states. A technically on-time bid sent the wrong way is often treated as late.
