NASA/GSFC intends to issue a sole-source contract extension to Peraton Inc. for the continued operations, maintenance, and evolution of relay and direct-to-earth networks. The extension is for an additional 18 months with no increase to the maximum ordering value, supporting services through September 30, 2027. The work includes routine and contingency operations, software and hardware maintenance, network management, IT security, and systems engineering for future evolution. This non-competitive extension is based on the critical nature of the ongoing work and an existing follow-on competitive procurement. Interested parties may submit their capabilities for evaluation to determine if future competition is possible.
