Draft RPP to be released week of 15 April via Bidder's Library. Response requested - see letter to industry attached for more information. Epoch 2 (E2) Space and MEO Epochs Ground Operations and Integration (MEG O&I) are two separate programs. The Government is releasing MEG O&I technical documents along with E2 technical documents, to ensure that industry has an opportunity to better understand how both programs will work together in the future. The current acquisition timeline for MEG O&I is tentative. The Government does not intend to award MEG O&I prior to E2 Space and does not intend to run both competitions simultaneously.
