The U.S. Space Force Space Systems Command (SSC) International Affairs issued a Sources Sought / Request for Information to collect market research on Space Domain Awareness (SDA) Command & Control (C2) capabilities at TRL 6+ in response to a request from the Canada Department of National Defence. The RFI seeks capabilities in data ingestion/management across multiple security domains, cross-domain interoperability, analytics/visualization/dashboards, AI/ML exploitation and anomaly detection, orbit determination and catalog maintenance, and safety-of-flight and event/catalog products. Place of performance is Los Angeles Air Force Base (Los Angeles, CA); responses were requested by Feb 20, 2026 (see due date/time below).

The Army Contracting Command - Aberdeen (on behalf of the Army ILSC SCMD SSD) issued a sources-sought/RFI to conduct market research for parts and spares to support the ASN-128 Doppler Navigation System; the Government does not possess technical data packages and intends to collect capability/capacity information from sources that can manufacture the listed parts. The notice lists multiple specific NSNs and part numbers for circuit card assemblies, signal converters, and other electronic components and requests company information, CAGE, questionnaire responses, drawings, test results, and evidence of past performance. This is explicitly a sources-sought/RFI for planning purposes only (not an RFP/solicitation to award a contract), and the Government will not reimburse response costs.
