Rocket Experimentation for Global Agile Logistics (REGAL)
The Air Force Research Laboratory posted an Advanced Research Announcement (ARA) titled Rocket Experimentation for Global Agile Logistics (REGAL) to explore the use of commercially-advertised rocket launch systems for rapid point-to-point space transportation and agile global logistics. The program’s objective is to assess commercial point-to-point capabilities for DoD logistics with the aim of fielding a service-like capability able to deliver DoD cargo anywhere on the planet in under one hour; expected missions include emergency resupply, humanitarian and disaster relief, and routine transport to select DoD ports. The ARA itself does not solicit proposals; individual Calls for Proposals (two initial Calls are identified) will be issued against the ARA, and the announcement remains open until 1 July 2027.

Commercial Solutions Opening (CSO) for Space Domain Awareness (SDA) Solutions
The United States Space Force (USSF), through the Space Acquisition & Integration Office (SAIO), has issued a Commercial Solutions Opening (CSO) to solicit innovative commercial technologies, products, and services to enhance Space Domain Awareness (SDA) capabilities, authorized under DFARS 212.70. The CSO uses a three-phase submission process (Phase I: unclassified PowerPoint briefing and White Paper; Phase II: optional pitch sessions; Phase III: full proposals) with specific Areas of Interest (AOIs) posted as standalone modules and evaluated on technical merit, program importance, and price reasonableness. The solicitation lists Colorado Springs, CO as the place of performance, is a contract opportunity (not a grant), and is active with an offers due date of 2030-01-23 (AOI-specific closing dates may be earlier).
