The Space Acquisition and Integration Office (SAIO), on behalf of the 21st Communications Squadron (21 CS) under Space Operations Command (SpOC) at Peterson SFB (PSFB), CO, is currently exploring the feasibility of consolidating several communications contracts across PSFB, Schriever SFB (SSFB), and Cheyenne Mountain Space Force Station (CMSFS). 14 Aug 2026 Updated: Inquiries Regarding CNECTS 1-on-1 Meeting Schedule Clarification: Our #1 priority this week has been to capture and finalize the schedule for the initial block of 1-on-1 meetings taking place on August 20th and 21st. To provide an update on our overall scheduling status: The first 22 eligible small business companies have now been officially scheduled for August 20th and 21st. Calendar invitations with specific times and MS Teams links were sent directly to the designated Point of Contact (POC) today. If your company's request was submitted prior to the official deadline of August 5, 2026, at 9:30 AM MDT, but you were not in the first group of 22, your request is still valid. The CNECTS Program Manager will contact you to schedule your meeting for the overflow sessions occurring the following week (the week of August 24, 2026). If your request was submitted after the deadline, we regret that we are unable to accommodate your firm due to scheduling constraints. We highly encourage your participation in the main Virtual Industry Day on Wednesday, August 19, 2026. Thank you for your inquiry and your continued interest in the CNECTS requirement. We appreciate your patience as we work through the remaining schedule and look forward to your engagement. 13 Aug 2026 Updated: CNECTS Pre-Release Virtual Industry Day Information and More. 1.
