About this award
This federal contract award, valued at $253,162.17, was issued by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) to support the Orbiting Carbon Observatory (OCO) mission. The OCO mission aims to collect an unprecedented set of atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) observational data to transform the understanding of the global carbon cycle. This grant-funded research contract does not have a set-aside designation, reflecting Caltech's extensive capabilities in supporting advanced scientific research and development for federal agencies.
Caltech, a renowned private research university, has a strong track record of receiving prime federal contract and grant awards, particularly from agencies like NASA, the Department of Defense, and the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA). In addition to this OCO mission contract, Caltech has also been awarded an Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDV) contract by DARPA for "CHIP-BASED PHOTON ADDITION" services, potentially involving the development of advanced photonic chip technologies.
Description
The OCO missions set out to collect an unprecedented observational data set of atmospheric CO2 to transform our understanding of the carbon cycle. Anthropogenic emissions drive the global carbon perturbation, and we increasingly need better observati
