AI Contract Overview
The Department of the Interior, through the USGS Contracting Activity, is seeking a commercial, cloud-based or containerized cloud-native Mission Operations Center MOC and Flight Operations solution for the Landsat 10 mission. The scope of work encompasses telemetry and command, flight dynamics, orbit operations, planning, scheduling, and contact and activity orchestration. The system must feature user-configurable dashboards for situational awareness and be developed using a test-like-you-fly philosophy. The MOC will be hosted via USGS Cloud Hosting Services III or the EROS mission infrastructure Kubernetes solution, with a preferred performance location at USGS EROS in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. The contractor will be responsible for supporting the on-orbit acceptance and handover from NASA to USGS, which includes in-orbit commissioning and the demonstration of routine operations for at least one complete 18-day imaging cycle. Technical requirements include compliance with CCSDS and FISMA Moderate standards, adherence to NIST SP 800-171, NIST PUB 800-53 Rev 5, and strict control of ITAR and EAR information. The system must support a minimum of 15 years of on-orbit operations and be capable of autonomous operation for up to 72 consecutive hours. The procurement timeline estimates a draft RFP release in early February 2027, followed by a final RFP release in May 2027.

Full Description
Included in this announcement are the following reference materials:
1) Draft MOC/Ops Synopsis Document
2) Draft MOC Requirements Document
The Government is not requesting feedback at this time; industry will have an opportunity to provide feedback when the Draft RFP is released. These draft documents build on feedback received in response to the May 2026 RFI and provide industry with additional technical detail to clarify the Government's current approach to the Landsat 10 MOC Development and Operations scope of work. These documents will continue to be refined following the spacecraft award and feedback on the draft RFP leading up to the final RFP release. The MOC functions document previously shared with the RFI has been incorporated into the MOC Synopsis and will no longer be issued as a standalone RFP document.
USGS is working toward the following timeline for the RFP surrounding this scope of work:
* Draft RFP Release: Estimating early February 2027 (anticipate this will be following spacecraft RFP award)
* Industry briefing (virtual): Shortly after Draft RFP announcement
* Feedback response period: Anticipated to be 30 days
* Tentative one-on-one meetings with contractors as needed to clarify any feedback provided (could be virtual or in-person, at the government's discretion)
* Final RFP Release: As soon as possible following updates to documentation based on industry feedback. Estimating May 2027
