Exception to Fair Opportunity - Standard Starshield Services & Hardware (SBS005510)view on SAM.gov

The procurement instrument issued was a commercial Task Order —Firm-Fixed-Price (FFP)— award to SpaceX for terminal/ancillary equipment and service plans to fulfill Starshield-based mission requirements in support of military operations across the Department of War and other federal agencies under the Space Systems Command (SSC) PLEO IDIQ contract. Although the Commercial Space Office (CSO) officially transitioned to SSC from the Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) early in FY26, administrative constraints—specifically the government shutdown and compliance with new SSC Public Affairs and OPSEC review processes—prevented publication within the mandated 14-day post-award window.
