Thank you for your interest in the Kronos CSO and mission and your continued partnership with the United States Space Force.
Thank you for your interest in and submissions to the First Call for the Kronos Family of Systems (FoS) Commercial Solutions Opening (CSO) FA8806-26-S-0001. The Kronos Program Office and Space Systems Command greatly appreciate the time, effort, and innovation reflected across the submissions received.
The Government received a high amount of responses for all three (3) AOIs in this first call of the Kronos FoS CSO. As a result of the very high interest, the evaluation process may take longer than originally anticipated.
The Government remains committed to conducting a deliberate evaluation consistent with CSO authorities and will notify offerors directly should additional information, clarification, or next steps be required. We appreciate your patience and understanding as the evaluation team works through this process.
At this time, no additional action is required from offerors unless contacted by the Government.
As stated in the sam.gov post, the Kronos FoS CSO will remain opened until May 11th, 2026. The Government reserves the right to open a second call at a later time in CY2026.
The Government also reserves the right to host a Kronos FoS industry day at a later date.
Thank you for your continued interest in partnering the United States Space Force and the Kronos mission

The procurement is classified under NAICS 513210 for Software Publishers and PSC AR12 for SPACE R&D SERVICES; SPACE FLIGHT, RESEARCH AND SUPPORTING ACTIVITIES; APPLIED RESEARCH.

The evaluation process follows a phased approach, including a Phase 1 concept review and a Phase 1B virtual pitch session intended for technical clarifications. As of January 2026, the government is conducting evaluations for the first call of the CSO, with Phase 1B sessions estimated for the final weeks of January. Although the response deadline for the initial call was December 15, 2025, the overall CSO remains open until May 11, 2026. The government reserves the right to open a second call or host an industry day later in calendar year 2026.
