AI Contract Overview

The Commercial Resupply Services (CRS) 2 Contract NNJ16GU21B, issued under solicitation number TO23 by NASA Johnson Space Center, authorizes a deviation from the Fair Opportunity process to secure essential cargo resupply services for the International Space Station. The contract encompasses end-to-end logistics, including launch and landing operations, the provision of launch vehicles, ISS visiting spacecraft, and reentry systems, all designed to deliver and return cargo between Earth and the ISS. NASA requires three to four annual flights with cargo deliveries evenly spaced throughout the year to sustain ISS operations, transporting both NASA-owned and NASA-sponsored payloads. The contract ensures reliable upmass and downmass capabilities, critical for maintaining crew activities, scientific research, and station maintenance. The contract is administered by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration through its Johnson Space Center office in Houston, Texas, with the place of performance centered in Dulles, Virginia. The primary point of contact for inquiries is Christopher Weiss, reachable via JSC-REMIS2@mail.nasa.gov. The justification for this award is documented under a regulatory exception to the Fair Opportunity process, indicating a specific operational or strategic necessity that precludes competitive bidding. The contract’s posting date is July 9, 2026, and it remains active under the authority of NASA’s commercial partnership framework to ensure uninterrupted support of the ISS mission.

Full Description

This justification documents the basis for issuing an order under the Commercial Resupply Services (CRS) 2 Contract NNJ16gu21B using an exception to the Fair Opportunity process. The purpose of the CRS-2 Contract is for resupply cargo services to the International Space Station (ISS), disposal of unneeded cargo, and for the return of cago from the ISS back to NASA. The end-to-end service shall include all activities to provide the resupply services including launch and landing site and associated reseruces, launch vehicle, ISS visiting vehicle, reentry vehicle, and the manner in which these are architected and implemented by the contractor. NASA requires the cargo services in order to meet the required annual upmass and downmass to support continued ISS operations via three to four flights with the cargo deliveries somewhat evenly distributed throughout the year. Cargo includes both NASA cargo and NASA-sponsored cargo.
