ARGOS Camera Development

Solicitation # 80NSSC26942731Q

The NASA Shared Services Center is seeking capability statements for the ARGOS Camera Development project under NAICS 541715, with an estimated value of 1,000,000 dollars and a one-year period of performance. The agency intends to award a sole source contract to Sensors Unlimited Inc under FAR 12.102(a), as the company collaborated on the instrument design during the STRIVE Phase A period. This determination is based on the risk that utilizing a different vendor would cause a redesign delay of approximately one year, jeopardizing the STRIVE mission launch readiness date. Performance will be located at the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center. The scope of work involves developing a camera design concept and defining electrical, thermal, mechanical, and flight software interfaces for the Aerosol Radiometer for Global Observation of the Stratosphere instrument. Key deliverables include a non-flight mechanical mockup, Preliminary and Final Interface Control Documents, and support for TRR, PDR, CDR, and PSR review milestones. Technical requirements specify a three-year equipment lifetime, the use of the Sensors Unlimited 1280JSX Enclosed Camera form factor, RoHS compliant PCBA assembly, and strict contamination control to remove outgassing sources. Interested organizations must submit capability statements by September 28, 2026, to determine if the procurement should be shifted to a competitive basis.
