AI Contract Overview
NASA Goddard Space Flight Center is extending the existing EED-3 contract with Raytheon Company by one year through a sole source modification, maintaining the current Cost-Plus-Award-Fee structure and increasing the maximum ordering value to ensure uninterrupted support for the Earth Observing System Data and Information System. The extension is necessary to sustain critical operations and development work while the follow-on ENX procurement is being prepared, with the current contract set to expire January 31, 2027. The effort focuses on maintaining and modernizing EOSDIS infrastructure, particularly to support new missions like SWOT and NISAR, and to transition core systems from on-premises technology to commercial cloud environments, while also decommissioning the legacy EOSDIS Core System. The contract supports multiple Distributed Active Archive Centers and aims to enhance system reliability, performance, and cost efficiency. The government is not treating this as a commercial item acquisition under FAR Part 12 and is relying on the sole source authority under 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1) due to the unique and specialized nature of the work and the absence of other qualified sources. Interested parties may submit written capabilities information by June 18, 2026, to inform a potential competition decision, though oral communications are prohibited, and the final determination on competitiveness rests solely with the government. The acquisition is subject to the NASA Ombudsman clause, and questions should be directed to the listed primary and secondary points of contact.

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.
