Solicitation # NASA-GSFC-LISA-FRS-FLIGHT
NASA Goddard Space Flight Center is conducting market research via a sources sought notice for the design, analysis, fabrication, and full qualification of three flight assemblies and one flight spare Frequency Reference System for the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna mission. Each unit must include an optical reference cavity and associated electronics, with a required operational lifetime of 6.5 years post-launch. The scope of work includes comprehensive environmental testing, including EMI/EMC, vibration, shock, and thermal vacuum testing with specific temperature plateau criteria. Deliveries are scheduled between February 9, 2029, and May 31, 2030. The project involves a rigorous review process, including Preliminary Design Review, Critical Design Review, and various pre-environmental and pre-shipment reviews. Technical compliance is governed by NASA GSFC standards, including GSFC-STD-1000G and GSFC-STD-7000B, as well as specific interface control documents and material outgassing standards such as ASTM E-595. Interested parties, including various small business socioeconomic categories, must submit a capability statement of no more than 10 pages and a rough order of magnitude cost estimate by August 6, 2026, to Stefan Flessa. This notice is for planning purposes only and does not constitute a formal solicitation or commitment by the government.
