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 Department of the Air Force, Space Systems Command, has issued solicitation FA8806-26-S-0001 for the Kronos Family of Systems Commercial Solutions Opening. This procurement seeks innovative concepts and technologies across three primary areas of interest to support space tasking, operational command and control, and battle management systems for the United States Space Force. The opportunity is classified under NAICS 513210 for Software Publishers and PSC AR12 for Space R&D Services, Space Flight, Research and Supporting Activities, and Applied Research. There is no set-aside designated for this requirement.
The solicitation remains open until May 11, 2026, with the first call for submissions having a primary response deadline of December 15, 2025. Performance is centered in El Segundo, California. The evaluation process includes a multi-phase selection approach; following the review of initial submissions, the government may invite selected offerors to Phase 1B virtual pitch sessions to clarify proposed solutions. These pitch sessions are tentatively scheduled for the final weeks of January 2026, with further updates regarding the selection process anticipated by early February 2026.
Rodrigo Laguna serves as the point of contact for this solicitation. The announcement includes six attachments: the primary Commercial Solutions Opening document, a Quad Chart template, and several versions of vendor inquiry spreadsheets.
