Solicitation # FA251827RCNECTS
The Communications, Network, Engineering, Cybersecurity, and Information Technology Services (CNECTS) acquisition is a high-priority effort by the Space Acquisition and Integration Office (SAIO) to consolidate multiple legacy IT support contracts into a single unified framework. Supporting the 21st Communications Squadron, the contract provides critical services across Peterson Space Force Base, Schriever Space Force Base, and Cheyenne Mountain Space Force Station. The scope focuses on mission systems, technical control, and the standardization of network infrastructure via AFNET, with a specific emphasis on modernization through data-driven automation, Zero Trust Architecture, and secure DevOps. This effort is structured as a 100% small business set-aside under NAICS 517810, with an estimated value of approximately 330 million dollars. The procurement utilizes a phased Commercial Solutions Opening (CSO) process rather than traditional FAR 15 procedures, consisting of a white paper submission, optional pitch sessions, and a final technical and price proposal. Evaluation is based on technical merit, importance to agency programs, and overall price and value, with a preference for a hybrid contract structure including firm-fixed-price and incentive-fee CLINs. The anticipated timeline includes a contract award on March 31, 2027, followed by a 60-day phase-in period and a base period starting June 1, 2027, extending through five option years and a final six-month extension.

NASA Lyndon B. Johnson Space Center (JSC) has a requirement for integrated field test communication architecture in support of the Extravehicular Activity and Human Surface Mobility Program (EHP). NASA intends to issue a sole source contract to acquire the services from Vinco Inc., 18995 Forest BLVD N. PO 907, Forest Lake, MN 55025 under the authority of 41 United States Code (U.S.C.) - 1901 as implemented by Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 13.5 Simplified Procedures for Certain Commercial Products and Commercial Services. Vinco Inc. has been determined to be the sole source provider of integrated field test communication architecture. Vinco Inc. provides a solution including network management middleware that is agnostic to Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) hardware and waveform media (frequency bands and network protocols). This capability will enable NASA field tests to integrate and evaluate different hardware, frequency bands, and network protocols from one test to the next. The Government intends to acquire a commercial item using FAR Part 12, Acquisition of Commercial Products and Commercial Services and Subpart 13.5. Anticipated award is July 2023 with a period of performance that consists of a base period and two option years. The terms of the anticipated service contract shall have a start date of July 1, 2023 with an end date of November 31, 2026, based on an initial commitment ending on November 31, 2024 with NASA's option to continue in each subsequent year. Initial integration tests will be performed in August through September of 2023. The first field site test requiring in-person support and implementation of this new comm architecture is in late September through early October of 2023. This is a notice of intent to award a sole source contract and is not a request for competitive quotes. Interested organizations may submit their capabilities and qualifications to perform the effort electronically via email to Andrew Candee, andrew.l.candee@nasa.gov and Jennifer Escalante, jennifer.e.escalante@nasa.gov no later than 4:30PM central standard time on Thurrsday, June 8, 2023. Such capabilities/qualifications will be evaluated solely for the purpose of determining whether or not to conduct this acquisition on a competitive basis. A determination by the Government not to compete this acquisition on a full and open competition basis, based upon responses to this notice, is solely within the discretion of the Government. NASA Clause 1852.215-84, Ombudsman, is applicable.

Solicitation # 80JSC027R0004
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration Johnson Space Center is soliciting proposals under solicitation 80JSC027R0004 for the Commercial Low Earth Orbit Destination Contract. This effort seeks a Multi-Award Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity contract, utilizing a Firm-Fixed-Price structure, for the design, development, manufacture, launch, and operation of a Commercial LEO Destination System to succeed the International Space Station. The system comprises three primary components: the Crew Transportation System, the Commercial LEO Destination, and the Cargo Transportation System. Performance is measured across three capability categories ranging from one-month crew tended missions to six-month standard service missions. The contract includes a base ordering period from April 2027 through April 2035, with two subsequent option periods extending the potential performance through April 2042. Proposals are due by December 8, 2026, at 1:00 p.m. Central Time, with Volume III regarding past performance requested early on November 24, 2026. Award decisions will be based on best value, evaluating Mission Suitability, Price, and Past Performance, with Mission Suitability being the most significant technical factor. The scope of work involves rigorous certification and safety standards, including compliance with AS9100 and specific human space flight requirements. Key contractual obligations include the submission of an Organizational Conflicts of Interest plan, adherence to the Outer Space Treaty, and the procurement of specific property damage insurance for certain launch vehicle categories. All submissions must be delivered electronically via NASA's EFISS Box in Microsoft Office formats.
