The U.S. Space Force’s Commercial Satellite Communications Office (CSCO) has announced contracting opportunities worth approximately $2.3 billion for commercial satellite services over the coming year.

The procurement forecast, released in December, outlines major initiatives for fiscal years 2025 and 2026, with the centerpiece being a nearly $900 million program focused on maneuverable satellites in geostationary orbit (GEO).

Clare Hopper, CSCO’s director, said the forecast is intended to help prepare industry participants for upcoming Requests for Proposals (RFPs) and is subject to revision.

The largest opportunity, valued between $895 million and $905 million, is the so-called maneuverable geostationary Earth orbit (GEO) program. This initiative seeks to procure both satellite services and custom-built small GEO satellites designed for operations in geostationary orbit, approximately 36,000 kilometers above Earth.
