The federal contract IDV award from the Langley Research Center (LARC), a civilian agency of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), is for the University of Colorado to provide an instrument package to be integrated on the Joint Polar Satellite System-3 satellite. The instrument, named LIBERA, will measure shortwave, longwave, and total radiation at the top of the atmosphere. The IDV has a ceiling value of $168,472,969.00 and a period of performance through December 31, 2032.
Under this IDV, the University of Colorado has received two task orders to date. The first is a $3,464,046.00 cost-no-fee contract for additional system-level assembly, integration, alignment, test, characterization, calibration, verification, and environmental qualification support to deliver the fully qualified LIBERA flight instrument. The second is a $70,132.00 cost-no-fee contract for mechanical engineering, systems engineering, integration and test, quality assurance, and project support services to implement a modified purge system on the LIBERA instrument. Both task orders are for work to be performed in Boulder, Colorado and do not utilize any set-aside designations. The University of Colorado is a U.S. state government entity and accredited public research university with expertise in research, education, and technology development across STEM disciplines, including past contracts with NASA, the Department of Defense, and NOAA.
