The Space Force has nominated a new commercial satellite communications contract to be part of the Defense Department s pilot for its unified cybersecurity standard for contractors, the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification program.
A request for information for the Inmarsat Broadband Global Area Network (BGAN) and Global Xpress (GX) contract was amended March 31 to include requirements for the CMMC program so it explains and incorporates CMMC requirements that will apply to the procurement.
The RFI, which the Defense Information Systems Agency is leading on behalf of the Commercial Satellite Communications Office at Space Force, also states that the goal is to award separate contract vehicles for BGAN and GX offerings. Early respondents to the original RFI will need to submit an updated response by April 8.
