The Space Development Agency (SDA) is issuing this solicitation to establish the foundation for Tranche 1 (T1), the Initial Warfighting Capability Tranche, of the National Defense Space Architecture (NDSA). The NDSA’s operational utility is predicated on the availability of a ubiquitous data and communications Transport Layer provided by a proliferated constellation of relatively small, mass-producible space vehicles (SVs) in low Earth orbit (LEO). The Tranche 1 Transport Layer (T1TL) SVs will be similar to those currently under development for the Tranche 0 Transport Layer with targeted technology enhancements, mission-focused payload configurations, increased integration, and greater production efficiencies. The T1TL will provide global communications access and deliver persistent regional encrypted connectivity in support of Warfighter missions around the globe by serving as the backbone for Combined Joint All Domain Command and Control (CJADC2) built on low-latency data transport, sensor-to-shooter connectivity, and direct-to-weapon connectivity. SDA intends to procure T1TL in accordance with FAR Part 15. All pertinent information will be posted on sam.gov.
