AI Contract Overview
NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center is seeking to establish a sole-source contract with the Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) to provide ongoing Phase E/F operations and data analysis support for the Suprathermal Ion Spectrograph (SIS) investigation aboard the Solar Orbiter mission. The contract, anticipated to last four years starting in April 2024, is essential for managing instrument operations, including planning, command scripting, health monitoring, and data processing, as well as supporting scientific activities related to the SIS instrument. The decision to award this contract on a sole-source basis is based on SwRI’s unique qualifications, which include extensive experience with the SIS instrument, detailed knowledge of the Solar Orbiter spacecraft, and familiarity with the instrument’s design, testing, and calibration. This expertise ensures the seamless integration of scientific and flight operations, crucial for the mission’s success. The procurement stems from a NASA Announcement of Opportunity issued in 2007, which supported PI-led investigations in NASA’s astrophysics and heliophysics programs, with the PI now affiliated with SwRI. The agency emphasizes that only SwRI possesses the specialized capabilities necessary to fulfill these requirements, and it reserves the right to determine whether to proceed with a competitive process based on responses received by March 4, 2024. Interested organizations can submit their qualifications electronically for consideration. The contract will support the continued operation and data analysis of the SIS instrument, contributing to the broader scientific objectives of the Solar Orbiter project, with oversight and guidance available through NASA’s designated ombudsman.
