Pursuant to an FY25 Program Decision Memorandum (POM) and the August 2025 C3LB-approved plan, the COMSATCOM Office (CSCO) established the "Warrior Plans" program in September 2025 to acquire proliferated Low Earth Orbit (PLEO) commercial satellite services for the Joint Force. This specific action issues the first Warrior Plan Task Order—a Firm-Fixed-Price (FFP) award to SpaceX for Starshield services under the Space Systems Command (SSC) PLEO IDIQ contract—to satisfy Joint Force operational requirements. To ensure strategic alignment with the FY25 Program Decision Memorandum (PDM), publication of this Exception to Fair Opportunity was deferred. The notice was subsequently posted in coordination with leadership guidance.
