Prototype Operational Modeling Framework for Manifest Feasibility in support of NASA KSC Spaceport Digital Twin

Solicitation 80NSSC26941608Q is a firm-fixed-price request for quotation issued by the NASA Shared Services Center for the development of a prototype operational modeling framework. The objective is to support manifest feasibility within the NASA Kennedy Space Center Spaceport Digital Twin by designing a framework that evaluates mission-support domains, identifies operational constraints, and supports scenario-based analysis. The effort is designed as a 120-working-day project to be performed primarily at a university facility, with required on-site coordination at NASA Kennedy Space Center. Key deliverables include an operational domain representation, constraint encoding, feasibility analysis to identify bottlenecks, and a scenario demonstration package. The contract will be awarded to the responsible offeror providing the lowest price technically acceptable offer. While originally designated as a total small business set-aside under NAICS 611310, the set-aside was dissolved on September 23, 2026, opening the competition to all offerors. The response deadline has been extended to September 29, 2026, at 4:00 PM CST. Due to the nature of the work, the project involves strict adherence to U.S. export control laws, including ITAR and EAR, and may limit access to U.S. persons or citizens. All work products must meet professional technical quality standards, featuring clear versioning, labeling, and traceability between assumptions and outputs.
