About this award

Written by GovTribe AI ·

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration awarded a $60.285 million definitive contract to Southwest Research Institute for space weather coronagraph integration, testing, calibration, evaluation, and launch and on-orbit checkout on December 23, 2024, under a cost-plus-fixed-fee pricing structure.

The originating solicitation, posted by NASA Goddard Space Flight Center and NOAA in November 2023, describes design, development, fabrication, integration, testing, and maintenance of three Space Weather Next L1 Series Coronagraph instruments with ground support equipment and mission operations support. The first instrument delivers March 2027, the second June 2029, and the third serves as a spare flight unit. Place of performance is San Antonio, Texas.

The period of performance runs through January 31, 2034. NAICS code 336414 (Guided Missile and Space Vehicle Manufacturing) applies. No set-aside was used.

Southwest Research Institute is a nonprofit research and development organization serving defense and civilian federal agencies across aerospace, space exploration, and advanced engineering. The institute competes as a prime contractor without SBA certifications across full-and-open procurements. Its portfolio spans over 6,900 awards valued at $133 billion combined potential, with significant concentration in space systems work for NASA and NOAA.

Subcontractors include Optimax Systems Inc. (coronagraph lenses), Sierra Space Corp (actuators and miscellaneous hardware), The Aerospace Corporation (fault tree and failure modes analysis), Glenair Inc. (connectors), and a multi-vendor team supplying capacitors, microcircuits, optics, memory components, thermal control hardware, and specialized electronic components from vendors including Presidio Components, Teledyne Digital Imaging, 3D Plus USA, Microchip Technology, and Frontgrade Technologies.

In FY2025, the contract invoiced $8.4 million across 7.2 FTEs with no subcontractor labor reported; the prime self-performed all work.
