The United States Space Force Commercial Satellite Communications Office is providing an industry forecast for six potential fiscal year 2026–2027 acquisitions; no response or feedback is requested. The forecast covers transponded Ku-band capacity, managed satellite communications services for global airborne intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance operations, Iridium-certified equipment and products with provisioning and 24/7/365 helpdesk support, global government enterprise communications services and facilities architecture, maneuverable geosynchronous-orbit satellite-based services, and Ku-band spread-spectrum network subscriptions with terrestrial backhaul. The anticipated requirements have estimated lifecycle values ranging from $2 million to $900 million. Several are structured as one-year base periods with two to five option periods; the maneuverable geosynchronous-orbit requirement is described as a five-year base with five one-year options.
