This document provides details on a forthcoming Request for Proposal from NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center for Hydrosphere, Biosphere and Geophysics Support Services. The RFP will seek proposals for services across biospheric, hydrospheric, cryospheric science, geodesy and geophysics, including experiment concept, design and fabrication, data acquisition, analysis, modeling, archiving and distribution, science applications development, and publications and outreach. Support will be required across seven major areas: science, computing, instrument development, calibration and validation, field campaigns, communications and public outreach. NASA anticipates issuing a draft RFP in mid-November 2018 for a small business set-aside competition, to result in a cost-plus-fixed-fee indefinite delivery indefinite quantity single award contract. The contract type, size standard, and point of contact for the NASA Center Ombudsman are provided. Potential offerors are directed to monitor the identified website for release of the draft RFP and any amendments in December 2018, with a planned 45-day phase-in transition period.
