    "description": "As a part of its continuing acquisition planning efforts, NASA has completed an assessment of the UNNO acquisition strategy and is updating the procurement approach to better align with the program's objectives for unified network operations, accountability, and long-term mission success. This assessment considered market research results, operational considerations, risk allocation, acquisition objectives, and lessons learned from existing network operations. Based on this review, NASA determined that a more integrated approach better supports clear accountability for network performance, reduces coordination and transition risks, and provides a stronger framework for the modernization and sustainment of mission-critical capabilities. Additional details regarding the rationale, supporting analysis, and acquisition strategy changes are provided in the accompanying documents. The information provided in this form is supplemented by a Revised Industry Update Document (Attachment 4), Draft Statement of Objectives (Attachment 5), Notional UNNO Facility List (Attachment 6) and a Draft Functional Construct Set (FCS) (available upon request).
