Maintenance for Satellite Communications System
This is a notice of intent to award a sole source contract, not a request for competitive quotes, to the University of Alaska Fairbanks. The contract covers hosting, maintenance, and technical support for a satellite communication system at the Alaska Satellite Facility in Fairbanks, AK, supporting the MC3 ground station network. The government considers UAF the only responsible source due to unique geographical advantages, physical control of the infrastructure, proprietary site-access restrictions, and specialized expertise. The anticipated award date is on or before 28 September 2026. Interested responsible sources may submit capability statements for consideration, though no solicitation document exists.
