The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Headquarters has awarded a multiple-award Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract, the Commercial SmallSat Data Acquisition (CSDA) Program, to acquire earth observation data and related services from commercial small satellite sources. The $476 million IDIQ contract has a period of performance through November 15, 2028, and was awarded to Teledyne Brown Engineering, Inc., a subsidiary of Teledyne Technologies Incorporated, without any set-aside designations.
Under the CSDA IDIQ, task orders will be issued on a firm fixed price basis to enable NASA's Earth Science research and applications by acquiring commercial data that can complement the agency's own Earth observation capabilities in areas such as higher resolutions, increased temporal frequency, or novel data sources. The contracts will require adherence to government-defined End User License Agreements to enable broad dissemination of the acquired data to other U.S. government agencies and partners. The CSDA IDIQ contract was competed as a full and open competition under NAICS code 541990, with a $17 million small business size standard.
