2026-11-03

This is a SOURCES SOUGHT NOTICE for market research purposes only . This is not a solicitation for proposals , a request for quotations , or a promise to issue a solicitation in the future . This notice is to assist the United States Space Force ( USSF ) in determining the availability of qualified and experienced sources for the design , development , and fabrication of a custom tracking ball controller system . The Government is not seeking pricing and will not accept unsolicited proposals . The Government requires a custom remote control solution to operate existing K - Mount optical tracking systems . The objective is to make these mounts remote - capable , allowing them to be placed inside a facility where personnel cannot be present . The core of this effort is the development of a force - proportional tracking ball controller that can successfully interface with a legacy , non - Windows - based operating system unique to the K - Mount system . This is a developmental effort , and a commercial - off - the - shelf ( COTS ) solution is not available to meet the Government ' s needs .
