Tender Details
This is an Industry Day announcement.
The Phase 3 Lane 1 Industry Day will cover the details and timeline for on-ramping additional Launch Service Providers (LSPs), as well as the details and timelines for the upcoming Launch Service Task Orders (LSTOs) that will be competed amongst LSPs that have been awarded a Lane 1 Indefinite-Delivery Indefinite-Quantity (IDIQ) contract.
