About this award
This federal contract award, valued at $230,619.71, was granted by the Shared Services Center (part of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA)) to the Seti Institute, a non-profit scientific organization focused on astrobiology, planetary science, astronomy, and the search for extraterrestrial intelligence. The contract is for research related to the presence and orientation of polygonal impact craters, which can provide insights into the pre-impact fracture patterns of planetary surfaces. The Seti Institute is the prime contractor and will not utilize any set-aside designations. This contract award is part of a larger Indefinite Delivery Contract (IDC) that the Seti Institute holds with NASA Headquarters, valued at up to $4.7 million, through which the Institute provides multidisciplinary technical support services, particularly related to planetary protection compliance, throughout the lifecycle of spaceflight hardware. The Institute has also received numerous grants from NASA and the National Science Foundation to support its wide-ranging research in astrobiology, planetary science, and astronomy.
