HALO Europa Program Solicitation

The Space Development Agency (SDA) is issuing this Other Transaction (OT) solicitation to establish the Tranche 2 Demonstration and Experimentation System (T2DES) Europa program. Future SDA constellations will leverage technologies and methods matured on the Europa SVs.

SDA is executing the Europa program using the Hybrid Acquisition of Low-Earth Orbit (HALO) contract vehicle, which is SDA’s acquisition approach to solicit rapid and affordable mission feasibility demonstrations. The Europa solicitation is limited to pre-screened members of the HALO prime contractor pool. This solicitation seeks Other Transaction (OT) prototype order proposals under the existing HALO vehicle to be awarded as fixed price milestones.
