Landsat 10 SpacecraftThe National Aeronautics and Space Administration’s Goddard Space Flight Center is soliciting proposals for the acquisition of the Landsat 10 Spacecraft under RFP 80GSFC26R0015, with responses due by August 13, 2026. This solicitation replaces the previous draft RFP issued in May 2026 and is intended to secure a spacecraft system capable of delivering continuous, high-quality multi-spectral imagery for at least five years. The mission will operate from a 653-kilometer sun-synchronous low-Earth orbit and is designed to collect Visible to Shortwave-Infrared and Thermal Infrared data with a 26-band instrument suite, achieving a ground sampling distance of 10 to 60 meters and a swath width of approximately 164 kilometers. NASA will provide the space segment and launch services, while the U.S. Geological Survey will manage the ground system and mission operations. The spacecraft must meet stringent environmental requirements outlined in the Space Environmental Requirements Document, covering radiation, space charging, magnetics, atomic oxygen, and micrometeoroid/debris exposure, and must adhere to applicable standards such as MIL-STD-883 for microcircuits. The acquisition includes extensive technical deliverables governed by a series of attachments detailing critical interfaces and analytical models: the Spacecraft-to-Ground Interface Requirement Document, Payload-to-Launch Services Interface Description Document, Space Environmental Requirements Document, and Analytical Math Model Definitions, which require 3D CAD, thermal, structural, dynamic, and attitude control models to be submitted for verification. Government-furnished equipment and services are clearly delineated with precise timelines, including launch umbilical connectors and electrical interface connectors due at L-18 months, payload processing facility access from L-60 days through L+7 days, and propellant delivery one month prior to launch. The launch services provider support is tied to the observatory’s mechanical testing schedule, with select services required no earlier than 12 months before launch. All analytical models, including those for the spacecraft and instrument, must be delivered to the Landsat 10 Project Office. The solicitation includes key reference documents such as the Design Reference Case DRC-18 and the World Reference System-3 Definition to ensure consistent data alignment with the Landsat archive. No set-aside provisions apply, the NAICS code is 336414, and the contracting office is located in Greenbelt,

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.
