The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Headquarters awarded a $476,000,000 Indefinite Delivery Contract (IDC) to Pixxel Space Technologies, Inc., a self-certified small disadvantaged business, under the Commercial SmallSat Data Acquisition (CSDA) Program. This multiple-award IDC enables NASA's Science Mission Directorate and Earth Sciences Division to acquire earth observation data and related services from commercial small satellite sources, with the goal of complementing NASA's own Earth observations with higher resolutions, increased temporal frequency, or novel capabilities.
Under this IDC, Pixxel Space Technologies has received two task orders to date. The first is a $1,592,448 firm-fixed-price delivery order for evaluating hyperspectral data products, and the second is a $500 order for delivery of metadata for archiving. These task orders demonstrate Pixxel's capabilities in providing specialized earth observation data and related services to support NASA's research initiatives. The IDC has an ordering period through November 15, 2028 and requires adherence to government-defined End User License Agreements to facilitate broad dissemination of the commercial data across government agencies.
