The Navy intends to award a sole-source, firm-fixed-price contract to the University of Alaska Fairbanks for hosting, maintenance, and technical support of a satellite communication system supporting the MC3 ground station network. Services will be performed at the Alaska Satellite Facility in Fairbanks, AK. The anticipated award date is on or before September 28, 2026. The government considers the University of Alaska Fairbanks the only responsible source due to unique geographic advantages, site control, access restrictions, and specialized expertise. This is not a request for competitive quotes, but responsible sources may submit a capability statement for consideration.
