The National Aeronautics and Space Administration Goddard Space Flight Center has awarded contracts for the Sounder for Microwave-Based Applications (SMBA) Phase A Study under solicitation 80GSFC23CA065. This initiative focuses on the definition study and design development of a microwave sounding instrument intended for the NOAA Near Earth Orbit Network (NEON) program. The procurement process involved evaluating offerors based on mission suitability, price, and past performance, with the potential to award up to four firm fixed price contracts valued at up to 5 million dollars each. Competing entities for this phase included Ball Aerospace, Boulder Environmental Sciences and Technology, Northrop Grumman Corporation, Orbital Micro Systems, and Spire Global. This current phase serves as a formulation activity to establish the technical foundation of the instrument. If the government decides to move forward following the completion of this study, subsequent Phases B through D will be executed under a separate contract vehicle.

HYDROSPHERE, BIOSPHERE, & GEOPHYSICS (HBG) SUPPORT SERVICES II - FINAL REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL (FRFP)
Solicitation # 80GSFC27R0015
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration Goddard Space Flight Center is soliciting proposals for the Hydrosphere, Biosphere, and Geophysics (HBG) Support Services II contract, under solicitation number 80GSFC27R0015. This small business set-aside is a hybrid Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract with a five-year effective ordering period. The contract allows for the issuance of both Cost Plus Fixed Fee (CPFF) and Firm-Fixed Price (FFP) task orders to support science research and computing activities across various laboratories, including the Cryospheric Sciences, Ocean Ecology, Hydrological Sciences, Biospheric Sciences, Geodesy and Geophysics, and the Terrestrial Information Systems Laboratory. The primary objective is to develop and apply space, field-deployed, and laboratory-based technologies to address societal issues related to water resources, ecosystems, sea level change, and the Earth's magnetic and gravity fields. The scope of work encompasses scientific modeling, simulation, data assimilation, satellite instrument performance analysis, and the planning and execution of field campaigns. Performance will occur at the Goddard Space Flight Center and the contractor's facilities, with acceptance managed by the Contracting Officer or a designated representative. Award selection will be based on a tradeoff approach, prioritizing Mission Suitability as the most important factor, followed by Cost and Past Performance. Proposals must be submitted in four volumes, including a numerically scored Mission Suitability volume and a detailed Cost volume. Additionally, the contractor must adhere to strict security requirements, including the provision of a Cyber Supply Chain Risk Management plan and compliance with NDAA Section 889 regarding telecommunications and surveillance equipment.

Ground Systems and Mission Operations-4 (GSMO-4)
Solicitation # RFI-GSMO4-2027
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration Goddard Space Flight Center is issuing a Request for Information for the Ground Systems and Mission Operations-4 (GSMO-4) contract. This effort seeks market intelligence and technical approaches from qualified vendors to support a diverse portfolio of science and Earth science missions, including the James Webb Space Telescope, Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter, and the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope. The scope of work encompasses the entire mission life cycle, focusing on two primary functional areas: Mission Ground System Support Services, which includes systems engineering and integration and test services, and Mission Operations System Support Services, covering flight operations, launch and early orbit support, flight dynamics, and IT security. The government is specifically exploring a transition from a Cost-Plus-Award-Fee structure to a Firm-Fixed-Price model, potentially utilizing a catalog-style pricing structure based on mission risk classifications or a Core-plus-IDIQ structure for flagship missions. Technical requirements emphasize the adoption of modern DevSecOps methodologies, CI/CD pipelines, and Infrastructure as Code to automate mission operations. Contractors must adhere to strict NASA Procedural Requirements for systems engineering, software engineering, and cybersecurity, including maintaining Authority to Operate (ATO) and managing vulnerability scanning. Responses are due by October 26, 2026, and must include implementation approaches and rough order of magnitude costs.
