The NASA Shared Services Center is seeking support services for the Atlas Devices Counterweight-Offload Astronaut Sensor, Telemetry and Electronics Rig (COASTER) located at the Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas. The scope of work involves providing on-call technical assistance, maintenance, and subject matter expertise to support gravity offload testing for lunar and Martian operational concepts and hardware evaluation. Key deliverables include all-inclusive support for single-arm and dual-arm operations, remote Test Readiness Review preparation, hazard analysis, and the provision of on-the-job training and mentorship for Space Vehicle Mockup Facility operators and test directors. This procurement is being conducted as an acquisition of commercial items under FAR Part 12, with a period of performance of 12 months after receipt of order. The government intends to award a sole source contract to Atlas Devices, LLC under FAR 12.102(a), as they have been identified as the sole provider of these specific services. While the government is currently requesting capability statements by October 23, 2026, to determine if the procurement should be conducted on a competitive basis, the primary intent remains a sole source award. The contract structure includes a base requirement for engineering and TRR support and suit rentals, along with various options for operational days and additional technical support.
