Some language patterns suggest this RFP may be written for a specific incumbent vendor. Review qualification requirements and brand-specific terms carefully before committing bid resources.
The National Space Operations Centre (NSpOC) is procuring a live operational platform for Space Domain Awareness (SDA) data. The platform must connect to a global supplier network covering multiple SDA phenomenologies, support rapid tasking within 1 hour, and enable fast data delivery with high revisit rates. It must be capable of automated delivery via UDL or API into the BOREALIS system and be 'day zero ready'—operational immediately without development or onboarding. The buyer is the UK Department for Science, Innovation & Technology, serving NSpOC. The contract is a direct award, implying urgency or sole-source justification.
