NASA Johnson Space Center is soliciting industry feedback through a Draft Request for Proposal (DRFP) for the NASA Flown Space Vehicle (FSV) Multimodal Transportation (MMT) Multiple Award Indefinite-Delivery Indefinite-Quantity (IDIQ) contract, with a solicitation number of 80JSC026R0014 and a NAICS code of 541330. The contract is structured as a Firm-Fixed-Price IDIQ vehicle with an estimated value ranging from $300,000 to $300,000,000, supporting the transportation of large aerospace vehicles, flown hardware, and specialized government cargo across air, sea, rail, overland, and barge modes. Performance will occur at various NASA, federal, storage, and museum locations, with a base period of performance from April 27, 2026, to April 27, 2029, and a potential six-month option extension. The contract will require comprehensive capabilities including engineering analysis, transportation planning, preservation, specialized rigging, environmental controls, and adherence to NPR 6000.1H for packaging and handling, with flown hardware treated as irreplaceable national assets requiring curatorial-level care. Proposals must be submitted electronically via NASA’s EFSS Box system in five distinct volumes with strict formatting rules: Volume I (Technical) is capped at 15 pages, Volume II (Past Performance) at 10 pages, and the Capabilities Document in Volume IV at 10 pages, all in 12-point Times New Roman, single-spaced, with 1-inch margins. Pricing in Volume III has no page limit and must be submitted in Excel, while Volume V requires a complete Model Contract and Model Task Order. Evaluation is based on a Performance-Price Tradeoff methodology, prioritizing Technical Acceptability as a pass/fail threshold, followed by Past Performance—considered significantly more important than Price—and then Price, with responsibility and compliance checks as mandatory gates. Offerors must be registered in SAM.gov, provide their UEI, size status, and socioeconomic certifications, and comply with numerous FAR clauses including those related to small business subcontracting, biobased products, and debarment status. NASA is conducting a Reverse Industry Day on May 27–28, 2026, for one-on-one virtual Q&A sessions with industry partners to refine the final R
