Cape Canaveral Space Force Station Request for Information

for Space Launch Complex-46 Lease - Issued December 19, 2025

This Request for Information (RFI) is in support of market research by the Department of the Air Force (DAF), United States Space Force (USSF), and Space Launch Delta 45 (SLD 45) to identify potential Launch Service Providers (LSPs) to lease Space Launch Complex 46 (SLC-46) at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station (CCSFS), Florida, part of the U.S. Eastern Range. Due to the unique attributes of SLC-46 and the goal of maximizing assured access to space in support of national security objectives, the DAF, USSF and SLD 45 are committed to ensuring the best use of this property.

The USSF seeks to issue a lease under the Military Leasing Act (10 U.S.C. § 2667) to an LSP to construct launch, recovery, and other associated space transportation infrastructure and to conduct launch activities, to include reentry operations if applicable, at SLC-46. Commercial use of CCSFS real property advances U.S. space capabilities and provides launch and launch support facilities in furtherance of U.S. policy to launch national security and other Department of War (DoW) payloads into space. The DAF may execute a lease after completion of the required environmental analysis process and issuance of an environmental decision document.

This action will also further Congress-s grant of authority to the Secretary of War, pursuant to 10 U.S.C. § 2276, Commercial space launch cooperation, to:

Maximize the use of the capacity of the space transportation infrastructure of the Department of War by the private sector in the United States;

Maximize the effectiveness and efficiency of the space transportation infrastructure of the DoW;

Reduce the cost of services provided by the DoW related to space transportation infrastructure at launch support facilities and space recovery support facilities;

Encourage commercial space activities by enabling investment by...
