The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Johnson Space Center awarded an Indefinite Delivery Contract (IDC) under the NASA Open Innovation Services 2 (NOIS2) multiple-award Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract to Crowdplat, Inc., a minority-owned, self-certified small disadvantaged business. The $175 million NOIS2 IDIQ enables NASA to procure innovative crowdsourcing solutions supporting the agency's aerospace mission. Under this IDC, Crowdplat has been awarded multiple firm-fixed-price delivery orders ranging from $9,990 to $205,000 to provide crowdsourcing services for various NASA initiatives, including evaluating in-flight food systems' effects on astronaut health, automating printed hybrid electronics design, conducting breath analysis using NASA's electronic nose technology, improving lunar map resolution, and predicting airport throughput. The delivery orders have been issued without any set-aside designations, with performance primarily taking place at Crowdplat's facilities in California. This IDC and associated task orders demonstrate NASA's commitment to leveraging external crowdsourcing to drive innovation and address complex challenges across its human spaceflight and research programs.
