Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) 1 Year Contract ExtensionNASA/Goddard Space Flight Center is pursuing a sole-source extension of Contract NNG04EB99C with the Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) to continue critical science and instrument operations for the Magnetospheric MultiScale (MMS) mission through September 30, 2027. The proposed one-year cost-plus-fixed-fee extension is justified under statutory authority for sole-source procurement due to SwRI’s unique and irreplaceable role in managing the mission’s science operations, including planning, scheduling, calibration, data dissemination, and engineering trending for the instrument suite aboard the four spacecraft. SwRI conceived, designed, built, and continues to operate the full suite of more than 125 specialized detectors and their associated software systems, and possesses all mission-specific knowledge, operational procedures, and institutional memory essential to maintaining mission continuity. No other organization has the expertise to operate several key instruments, including the Electron Drift Instrument and Active Spacecraft Potential Control, which were developed exclusively by SwRI’s subcontractors. Transitioning these functions to a new contractor would require over a year of training, procedure development, and system validation, introducing unacceptable risk of disruption to scientific output. The Government has determined that no other entity possesses the necessary institutional knowledge, specialized tools, or certified personnel to perform these operations without significant degradation in quality or continuity. This acquisition is not being treated as a commercial product or service under FAR Part 12, and interested parties must submit their qualifications electronically by July 30, 2026, to evaluate whether competition is feasible, though a non-competitive award remains the Government’s intended course.
