Mission Simulation & Testing Support

The contract seeks a subcontractor to develop and execute high-fidelity simulations for spacecraft and ground systems, focusing on validating performance through flight-to-simulator comparisons and operational scenario testing. The work will involve creating realistic modeling environments to assess system behavior under various mission conditions, ensuring alignment between actual flight data and simulated outcomes to support mission readiness and operational decision-making. The simulations must be robust enough to test edge cases and contingency scenarios, enabling thorough evaluation of system reliability and performance under stress. The contract is classified under NAICS code 541340, indicating it pertains to scientific research and development services, and is issued by the Department of the Interior’s Office of Acquisition and Grants. It is posted with a response deadline of June 4, 2026, and is structured as a subcontract, meaning the winning entity will be working under a prime contractor rather than directly for the government. While specific location details for performance or point of contact are not provided, the work will require technical expertise in aerospace systems simulation, data analysis, and real-time operational testing environments, with deliverables centered on validated simulation outputs and performance assessment reports.
