The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Headquarters awarded a multiple-award Indefinite Delivery Contract (IDC) valued at $476 million to Blacksky Geospatial Solutions, LLC for the Commercial SmallSat Data Acquisition (CSDA) program. This contract will enable NASA's Earth Science Division to acquire earth observation data and related services from commercial small satellite sources to complement the agency's own earth observation capabilities. The contract has a 5-year ordering period, with task orders issued on a firm fixed price basis. A key focus is on obtaining high-resolution, high-frequency data that can enhance NASA's Earth science research and applications. Blacksky, a small business provider of geospatial intelligence solutions, was selected based on its ability to deliver a wide range of satellite imagery, data analytics, and other geospatial services to federal agencies. This IDC contract positions Blacksky as a prime contractor to continue supporting NASA's earth observation objectives through the CSDA program over the coming years.
