ID: FA8811-25-R-B001 • Type: Synopsis Solicitation

Description

This is a REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL (RFP) for the Phase 3 Lane 1 Fiscal Year (FY) 2025 On-Ramp.

A. Overview

The United States Space Force (USSF), Space Systems Command (SSC), National Security Space Launch (NSSL) Program Operational Imperative is to deliver national security space capability to the warfighter to deter/defeat the pacing challenge. The NSSL Phase 3 Lane 1 approach to meet this Operational Imperative is to provide assured access to space to the integrated space architecture at affordable prices. The Phase 3 Lane 1 acquisition consists of multiple award Indefinite-Delivery Indefinite-Quantity (IDIQ) contracts. Lane 1 launch services will be procured via launch service task orders (LSTOs).

Lane 1 provides awardees who can meet a subset of the NSSL requirements the opportunity to compete for ~30 missions via annual task order competitions. The NSSL program has implemented a tiered mission assurance approach that inherently accepts a higher risk to mission success to address mission specific needs.
