About this vehicle
NASA Johnson Space Center established this Master IDIQ for crowdsourcing support and open innovation platforms on June 4, 2015, with a shared ceiling of $20 million. Ordering closed on June 30, 2022, making this vehicle no longer active for new task orders.
The vehicle procures commercial challenge-based platforms and crowdsourcing services to publicly post challenges and enable interaction with global communities of competitors, helping NASA and other government agencies identify or develop solutions to technical and operational challenges. The scope centers on platform access, challenge design support, and community engagement infrastructure rather than direct R&D deliverables.
NASA Johnson Space Center is the contracting organization, though the vehicle was available for use across NASA and other federal agencies. The source does not provide details on which agencies placed orders, how many task orders were issued, the distribution of awards among competing prime contractors, typical task-order values, or the obligated amount against the $20 million ceiling.
A successor vehicle, NASA Open Innovation Services 2, was awarded on June 4, 2020, and likely supersedes this one for ongoing crowdsourcing work. Firms interested in this vehicle category should focus pursuit efforts on the successor vehicle rather than attempting to extend or modify orders under the closed original IDIQ.
Description
The purpose of the NOIS Master IDIQ is to procure commercial crowdsourcing support and open innovation platforms which provide the capability to publicly post challenges external to NASA and enable interaction with an established global community of competitors. Specifically, NASA plans to seek challenge-based methodologies and platforms to assist with identifying or developing solutions to challenges facing NASA and other government agencies.
