Commercial service contract to deliver NASA paylaods to the Moon

CLPS is a government initiative established to enable frequent, affordable, and rapid delivery of NASA payloads to the lunar surface through commercial services. Awarded as an indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity contract to 14 selected vendors, it employs commercial procurement strategies to drive innovation and competition. Each task order is issued at a firm fixed price covering the entire scope of lunar delivery, placing full responsibility on the vendor to secure and manage the launch vehicle, handle all subcontracting, and obtain critical approvals from the FAA and other regulatory agencies. The program is designed to leverage private sector capabilities to support NASA’s lunar exploration goals, ensuring end-to-end mission execution by industry partners while reducing cost and schedule risk for the government. The solicitation is managed by NASA’s Johnson Space Center under the NAICS code 927110, with Christopher J. Culbert listed as the point of contact for inquiries.
