    Description

    Amendment 1: The Government has revised the Call and SOO attachments to be unrestricted. Technical Description Space Data Networking Experimentation RAPID is experimenting with a hybrid space architecture built from an ensemble of Department of Defense (DoD), allied and commercial satellite communication networks.  The premise is that this approach introduces resilience by design and offers the ability to efficiently route data through space and terrestrial infrastructure to ensure reliable connectivity, but it requires managing network complexity dynamically in time and space. Several critical challenges impose risk to the development of a future space data network (SDN), and these must be explored through experimentation. This exploration will provide options to current and future programs of record as systems evolve to meet future needs. Questions shall be submitted to the outlined Contracting Officer and Contract Specialist no later than close of business 10 September 2024. Questions submitted via email shall include "STAR-FISH Call 014" in the subject line. Questions submitted after will not be answered.
