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 and design to data analysis, modeling, archiving, and communications and outreach. Major areas of support include science, computing, instrument development, calibration and validation, field campaigns, and communications and public outreach. NASA intends this contract to reflect the requirements of its recently reorganized Hydrosphere, Biosphere and Geophysics office. The agency anticipates issuing the draft RFP as a small business set-aside for a cost-plus-fixed-fee indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity single award contract. Comments on the draft will be due in mid-December 2018, with a 45-day phase-in transition period to follow.
