This document provides details on a forthcoming Request for Proposal for Hydrosphere, Biosphere and Geophysics Support Services. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration Goddard Space Center plans to issue a draft RFP in mid-November 2018 to acquire support services across the fields of biospheric, hydrospheric, cryospheric science, geodesy and geophysics. The services will range from experiment concept, design and fabrication to data analysis, modeling, archiving, distribution, and science applications development. The contract will also require communications and public outreach support. The contract is categorized into seven major areas including science, computing, instrument development, calibration and validation, field campaigns, communications, and public outreach. The agency intends this to be a small business set-aside competition resulting in a cost-plus-fixed-fee indefinite delivery indefinite quantity single award contract. Comments on the draft RFP will be accepted until mid-December, with a 45-day phase-in transition period anticipated.
