NCIA – RFI for Space Domain Operational Functions

Summary

The NATO Communications and Information Agency (NCIA) has issued a Request for Information (RFI) titled "Space Domain Operational Functions". The notice was published on 29 October 2026 and the response deadline is 3 December 2026. An RFI is a market survey, not a binding call for tenders. It typically gathers information on available solutions, industry capabilities and technology maturity to support later procurement planning. The available material gives only the title. It does not specify which operational functions are in scope, the technical requirements, quantities, estimated value, eligibility conditions such as security clearances or national eligibility, any later procurement timeline, or the evaluation approach. Based on the title alone, the RFI concerns capabilities that support NATO operations in the space domain. Its exact content, for example whether it covers software, services or system integration, cannot be confirmed. Suppliers interested in space-domain command and control, space situational awareness or related information systems should consult the full RFI documentation in NCIA's procurement channels. Participation in NCIA procurements generally requires a declaration of eligibility from the company's national authority, but the requirements for this RFI have not been confirmed. Note: no RFI documents or attachments were available, so their additional terms and requirements are not reflected in this summary.
