About this IDV

NASA's Langley Research Center awarded a $111.75 million single-award indefinite-delivery contract to Cornell Technical Services LLC on October 1, 2020, under a Total Small Business set-aside for evaluations, assessments, studies, services, and support (EASSS 3).

Cornell Technical Services LLC is a small business. Performance occurs in Columbia, Maryland. The IDIQ runs through September 30, 2027, supporting NASA's Science Mission Directorate with mission evaluations, technical and cost analyses, standing review board support, and independent assessment services across astrophysics, heliophysics, planetary science, and Earth science divisions.

The originating pre-solicitation (October 2019) sought capability statements for the Science Office for Mission Assessments to evaluate proposals, concept study reports, and mission assessments at major milestones. The incumbent EASSS 2 contract carried approximately $100 million in value over five years; EASSS 3 was estimated at $75 million over five years but awarded at $111.75 million.

Recent task-order activity under EASSS 3 includes a $15 million order (March 31, 2026) for studies and evaluations supporting Science Mission Directorate divisions through September 2027; a $6.594 million order (March 31, 2025) for 2025 Astrophysics Small Explorer proposals evaluation through July 2027; a $5.68 million order (March 13, 2025) for Earth System Explorers concept study report evaluation; a $3.576 million order (September 15, 2025) for Astrophysics Probe Explorer concept study evaluation; a $4.787 million order (September 14, 2022) for Science Office for Mission Assessments planning support through January 2027; and a $5.472 million order (April 26, 2024) for Heliophysics Explorers Program 2022 Small Explorer evaluation through September 2027. All work is cost-plus-fixed-fee and self-performed with no subcontractors.
