Commercial Low Earth Orbit (LEO) Destination Contract (CLDC) Request for Proposal
Solicitation # 80JSC027R0004
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration Johnson Space Center is soliciting proposals under solicitation 80JSC027R0004 for the Commercial Low Earth Orbit Destination Contract. This effort seeks a Multi-Award Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity contract, utilizing a Firm-Fixed-Price structure, for the design, development, manufacture, launch, and operation of a Commercial LEO Destination System to succeed the International Space Station. The system comprises three primary components: the Crew Transportation System, the Commercial LEO Destination, and the Cargo Transportation System. Performance is measured across three capability categories ranging from one-month crew tended missions to six-month standard service missions. The contract includes a base ordering period from April 2027 through April 2035, with two subsequent option periods extending the potential performance through April 2042. Proposals are due by December 8, 2026, at 1:00 p.m. Central Time, with Volume III regarding past performance requested early on November 24, 2026. Award decisions will be based on best value, evaluating Mission Suitability, Price, and Past Performance, with Mission Suitability being the most significant technical factor. The scope of work involves rigorous certification and safety standards, including compliance with AS9100 and specific human space flight requirements. Key contractual obligations include the submission of an Organizational Conflicts of Interest plan, adherence to the Outer Space Treaty, and the procurement of specific property damage insurance for certain launch vehicle categories. All submissions must be delivered electronically via NASA's EFISS Box in Microsoft Office formats.

THIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL.
NO PROPOSALS ARE TO BE SUBMITTED IN RESPONSE TO THIS NOTICE.


This notice is issued by the NASA GSFC to post a Draft RFP to solicit responses from interested parties. This document is for information and planning purposes and to allow industry the opportunity to verify reasonableness and feasibility of the requirement, as well as promote competition.


This Draft RFP is for the X-Ray Irradiance Sensor (XRIS) requirement. The principal purpose of this requirement is to design, analyze, develop, and fabricate two (2) flight X-Ray Irradiance Sensors that will monitor X-ray flares that may cause changes in the Earth’s ionosphere.


This presolicitation synopsis is not to be construed as a commitment by the Government, nor will the Government pay for the information submitted in response. The Government may not respond to questions/concerns submitted. The Government will use the information to finalize the RFP as necessary.


All comments or questions shall be submitted electronically via email to Daniel Han at Daniel.S.Han@nasa.gov no later than 5:00 PM Eastern Time on February 18, 2026. When responding, reference XRIS-DRFP-80GSFC26R7004.


NASA Clause 1852.215-84, Ombudsman, is applicable. The Center Ombudsman for this acquisition can be found at: https://www.hq.nasa.gov/office/procurement/regs/Procurement-Ombuds-Comp-Advocate-Listing.pdf


If a solicitation is released, then it and any additional documents will be available on SAM.gov. It is the offeror's responsibility to monitor this website for the release of the solicitation and amendments (if any). Potential offerors will be responsible for downloading their own copy of the solicitation and amendments, if any.


NASA intends to publicize a listing of respondents to facilitate teaming arrangements. Should your firm desire not to be included in this listing, clearly indicate this desire in your response.

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.
