NASA’s SCaN program is conducting market research for the emerging Unified Network and Navigation Operations (UNNO) contract, seeking capability statements and industry feedback to inform acquisition planning; no solicitation exists yet. The UNNO effort will provide operations, maintenance, sustainment, integration, and continuous improvement for the Near Space Network (Space Relay/TDRS and Direct-to-Earth), the Deep Space Network (including CONUS facilities such as Goldstone, JPL Mission Operations Center, and Monrovia), and cross-cutting “One Network” management. NASA will host a hybrid UNNO Industry Day on August 7, 2026, at NASA Headquarters in Washington, D.C., with Webex virtual attendance; registration is required by August 6, 2026, 5:00 p.m. ET, and an informal Washington, D.C., meet-and-greet is anticipated that evening. A second Industry Day will be held October 26, 2026, from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. Central Time at Huntsville City Hall in Huntsville, Alabama. One-on-one meetings are anticipated in Huntsville, Alabama, August 11–13, 2026, with requests due by August 8, 2026, 5:00 p.m. ET; participation in these market research events is not required for subsequent UNNO solicitation activities or proposal evaluations.

NASA's SCaN program is seeking industry input for the emerging UNNO contract, which will provide operations, maintenance, sustainment, and integration for its Near Space Network and Deep Space Network under a unified "One Network" structure. Market research events include an Industry Day on August 7, 2026, in Washington, D.C. (with virtual attendance), an informal meet-and-greet on the evening of August 6 in D.C., and

NASA is seeking industry input for the Unified Network and Navigation Operations (UNNO) contract to manage and evolve its communication and navigation networks, including the Near Space Network and Deep Space Network. The contract will cover operations, maintenance, and integration for Earth, lunar, Mars, and deep space domains, balancing government-owned systems with commercial services. Performance locations include CONUS-based facilities such as Goldstone DSCC, JPL Mission Operations Center, and Monrovia Remote Operations Center, with global logistics for the worldwide DSN footprint. No budget amount is specified in the description. Responses to this request for information are due by August 15, 2026, at 4:00 PM Central.
