AI Contract Overview
NASA Johnson Space Center is awarding a sole source contract to Northrop Grumman for the procurement of a flight spare Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) for the Volatiles Investigating Polar Exploration Rover (VIPER) mission. The required hardware is the LN-200S, a commercially available off-the-shelf integrated sensor that provides 3-axis rotation rate sensing and 3-axis translational acceleration measurement. This unit serves as a critical attitude and position reference for the rover's onboard Extended Kalman Filter and must meet strict accuracy and repeatability standards for deep space robotics applications. The acquisition, identified by solicitation number 80JSC021P0003, is designated as a sole source procurement because Northrop Grumman is the only provider of the LN-200S, which is necessary to ensure a drop-in replacement with identical form, fit, and function to the primary flight unit. The estimated cost for the flight unit and associated documentation is 284,000 dollars, with an expected delivery timeline of 14 months. This procurement is conducted under the authority of FAR Part 12 and FAR 6.302-1.
