AI Contract Overview

The NASA Langley Research Center awarded a firm fixed-price contract to The Regents of the University of Colorado, specifically the Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics, for the ARCSTONE project focused on the calibration of lunar spectral reflectance from space. With a total value of 1,113,325 dollars, the scope of work includes the characterization of the integrated detector and cryocooler assembly, the design, fabrication, and testing of the Flight Calibration System, and the derivation of lunar-reflectance measurement uncertainty budgets. The effort also involves payload analysis, flight instrument characterization, and Level-1 data validation support. The current performance period is expected to conclude around September 15, 2026. While the original award was made on a sole source basis, this opportunity is identified as a likely recompete with medium confidence. The project is managed out of Hampton, Virginia, with the primary place of performance located in Boulder, Colorado.

Full Description

Predicted recompete opportunity based on federal award data.
Current Contract: 80LARC22CA001 Incumbent: THE REGENTS OF THE UNIVERSITY OF COLORADO Contract Value: $1,113,325 Potential End Date: 2026-09-15T00:00:00.000Z Competition: NOT COMPETED Pricing: FIRM FIXED PRICE Classification: recompete-likely (Confidence: medium - 50/100)
A firm fixed-price contract in the amount of $731,349 was awarded to The Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics (LASP) at the University of Colorado Boulder on a sole source basis on 06 December 2021. This effort is the result of the ESTO InVEST Project solicitation. The period of performance for the contract is 36 months and will allow LASP to move forward with the (1) characterization of the government-provided ARCSTONE's integrated detector and cryocooler assembly (IDCA), (2) final design of the ARCSTONE's Flight Calibration System (FCS), (3) fabrication and testing of the ARCSTONE's FCS, (4) participation in ARCSTONE payload analysis activities as required for integration of the FCS, (5) characterization of the ARCSTONE flight instrument, (6) derivation of the ARCSTONE's lunar-reflectance measurement uncertainty budget, (7) participation in project reviews and meetings, and (8) support ARCSTONE's Level-1 data validation. Approved JOFOC is atatched.
