AI Contract Overview
NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC) intends to extend the existing Earth Observing System Data and Information System Evolution and Development 3 (EOSDIS EED-3) contract with Raytheon Company for one additional year. This Cost-Plus-Award-Fee, single-award Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract supports the development, maintenance, and operation of EOSDIS infrastructure, including several Distributed Active Archive Centers (DAACs). The scope includes improving the reliability, availability, and performance of hardware and software systems while reducing operational costs. Key drivers for new requirements are support for the Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) and NASA-ISRO Synthetic Aperture Radar (NISAR) missions, alongside transitioning EOSDIS components to commercial cloud platforms and decommissioning legacy systems. The current contract expires January 31, 2027, prompting the need for this one-year extension and increased maximum ordering value to sustain ongoing operations pending the release of a follow-on procurement, the Earth Science Data and Information System Next (ESDIS Next or ENX), scheduled for summer. NASA plans to award the extension as a sole source to Raytheon under the justification that only one responsible source can fulfill these specific requirements. Although the government invites organizations to submit their capabilities by June 18, 2026, this will only influence whether a competitive procurement is pursued. The acquisition does not involve commercial items under FAR Part 12, and written responses only are acceptable. Contact information and procedural details are provided for those interested in presenting their qualifications.

Full Description
NASA GSFC has a requirement for the continuation of Earth Observing System Data and Information System (EOSDIS) Evolution and Development 3 (EED -3) services.
NASA/Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC) plans to award a sole source modification to award a one (1) year extension and increase the maximum ordering value to the Earth Observing System Data and Information System (EOSDIS) Evolution and Development 3 (EED3) contract. This is a Cost-Plus-Award-Fee (CPAF), Single-Award Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract, 80GSFC21C001, with Raytheon Company. The scope of work under this contract requires the contractor to support development, maintenance, and operations of EOSDIS, including several Distributed Active Archive Centers (DAACs), and to continuously improve reliability, availability, functionality, operability, and performance of hardware and software systems within the EOSDIS while reducing operational and maintenance costs. The most significant driver of new requirements under EED-3 has been support for the Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) and the NASA-ISRO Synthetic Aperture Radar (NISAR) mission and the decommissioning of the EOSDIS Core System (ECS). These missions have been the impetus for new and significant EED-3 requirements to investigate, prototype, and begin transition of large components of EOSDIS infrastructure from on-premises information technology infrastructure to the commercial cloud.
The current contract expires on January 31, 2027, and it is necessary to issue this one (1) year extension and increase the maximum ordering value in order to allow for continued performance while the follow-on procurement is being conducted. The Draft Request for Proposal (DRFP) for the Earth Science Data and Information System (ESDIS) Next (ENX) procurement is in progress and expected to be released by the Summer of this year.
NASA GSFC intends to issue the modification on a sole source basis to Raytheon Company in accordance with 10 U.S.C 2304(c)(1), as implemented by FAR 6.302-1, "Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements.”
The Government does not intend to acquire a commercial item using FAR Part 12.
Interested organizations may submit their capabilities and qualifications to perform the effort in writing to the identified point of contact no later than 3:00 p.m., Eastern Standard Time, on June 18, 2026. Such capabilities/qualifications will be evaluated solely for the purpose of determining whether or not to conduct this procurement on a competitive basis. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed effort on a full and open competition basis, based upon responses to this notice, is solely within the discretion of the government.
Oral communications ARE NOT acceptable in response to this notice.
