About this IDV

Written by GovTribe AI ·

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Armstrong Flight Research Center awarded an Indefinite Delivery Contract to Zero Gravity Corporation, a for-profit company, to provide microgravity flight services in support of NASA's aeronautics and space research programs. The single-award IDIQ contract has a potential value of up to $7.5 million through September 2026. Under this vehicle, Zero Gravity Corporation has received multiple firm-fixed price delivery orders to conduct reduced gravity aircraft flights, integrate and test aerospace payloads, and provide other specialized services advancing space technology and biomedical research objectives. Delivery orders have been issued by the Armstrong, Marshall, and Johnson Space Centers, as well as the U.S. Air Force, with performance locations in California, Florida, Colorado, and Virginia. Individual orders range from around $8,000 to over $1 million. The contract does not utilize any set-aside designations.

The original sources sought notice published by NASA Armstrong Flight Research Center in 2020 aimed to identify commercial providers capable of delivering microgravity flight services, including brief periods of near zero, partial, and hyper-gravity conditions, as well as associated payload integration, safety, and airworthiness capabilities to support the agency's research, technology development, and training missions. This contract with Zero Gravity Corporation appears to be the result of that market research and solicitation process.
