Request for Information RFI #2026-01-VCSFA - Industry Capability and Interest in Development and Operation of a Payload Processing Facility

The Virginia Commercial Space Flight Authority (VCSFA) is gathering input from qualified vendors on their capability and interest to finance, design, construct, own, operate, and maintain a new Payload Processing Facility (PPF) at the Mid‑Atlantic Regional Spaceport (MARS) on property adjacent to NASA’s Wallops Flight Facility. The agency seeks to understand industry expertise, potential partnership structures, and long‑term operational models for a facility that will support commercial payload processing and launch activities. • Scope includes financing, design, construction, ownership, operation, and ongoing maintenance of the PPF. • The facility will be located at Wallops Island, VA, adjacent to NASA’s Wallops Flight Facility. • Vendors are asked to provide capability statements, interest levels, and potential approaches rather than formal proposals at this stage.
