AI Contract Overview

NASA Kennedy Space Center is seeking proposals for a feasibility study to assess the capability of existing or planned contractor-owned Payload Processing Facilities (PPFs) that could support future nuclear missions, with a critical deadline for the facility to be operational by January 1, 2028. The solicitation, issued as a combined synopsis and Request for Quotations under number 80KSC026Q0004, explicitly clarifies that NASA is not procuring, designing, or constructing any facility; instead, it seeks to evaluate whether a contractor’s owned or leased facility near Kennedy Space Center or Cape Canaveral Space Force Station can handle the transportation, processing, integration, and encapsulation of spacecraft carrying nuclear materials in compliance with Idaho National Laboratory protocols and DOE Hazard Category 3 standards. Offerors must provide proof of facility ownership or a lease agreement, demonstrate the facility’s physical location and capability to meet minimum dimensions of 21m x 21m x 6m for processing and 15m x 21m x 18m for fairing encapsulation, and confirm adherence to ISO Class 7 cleanliness, planetary protection requirements, and monopropellant fueling operations. Pricing must be submitted for two distinct items: the nuclear feasibility study itself and a Technology Assistance Agreement (TAA) with an international partner based on the ESA/AirBus model, with all deliverables required to be ITAR-compliant. Evaluation will be based on technical merit—assessing the proposed approach, facility location proof, and ownership documentation—followed by price, using a trade-off process under FAR 52.212-2, meaning the award will go to the most advantageous offer, not necessarily the lowest-priced. The contract is firm fixed price, with a period of performance from May 22, 2026, to December 31, 2026, and requires submission of a Ground Operations Concept of Flow and ROM pricing by October 1, 2026, along with monthly status telecons. Offerors must be registered in SAM.gov, provide their Unique Entity ID and CAGE code, declare their size status under the $19.5 million NAICS 541990 threshold, and affirmatively certify they are not China-owned or engaged in prohibited activities under NFS Clause 1852.225-72. All proposals must be submitted electronically via email by 12:00 PM

The sole purpose of this study is for NASA to gain insight into an existing or currently planned (completed by January 1, 2028) Contractor-owned PPF’s capability that could provide future use to NASA for nuclear missions. However, NASA emphasizes that participation in this study is not procuring a payload processing facility nor guaranteeing NASA will use the PPF for any mission.
