About this award

The Goddard Space Center awarded a firm-fixed-price definitive contract with a $51.7 million ceiling value to General Atomics on July 6, 2020, for spacecraft development, observatory integration and testing, launch-site shipment, launch operations support, on-orbit performance verification, and three years of mission operations and decommissioning for the Total and Spectral solar Irradiance Sensor-2 (TSIS-2) mission. No set-aside was used. Ultimate completion is May 30, 2027, and place of performance is San Diego, California. The prime is a large, for-profit defense and technology manufacturer with no SBA certifications.

The spacecraft must be compatible with Electron, LauncherOne, or ESPA launch vehicles and operate in sun-synchronous low Earth orbit for at least three years, delivering integrated Observatory hardware and three years of mission operations from authorization through end of mission. The originating pre-solicitation, posted November 20, 2019, carried NAICS 336414 for evaluation, a 1,250-employee size standard, no set-aside designation, and no identified incumbent. It anticipated RFP release in early December 2019 and offers due in early February 2020.

General Atomics issued sixteen subaward records for this effort between January 2024 and June 2026. Surrey Satellite Technology LIMITED holds the most (seven, primarily engineering services) and NTS Labs, LLC (Element Materials Technology Denver-Longmont) follows with three, testing work. The remainder go to additional electronics, IT, and aerospace equipment suppliers.
