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 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. The contract will be set aside for small businesses and utilize a cost-plus-fixed-fee indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity single award structure. The anticipated period of performance includes a 45-day phase-in transition period. Offerors should monitor the identified website for release of the draft RFP and any amendments in mid-November 2018, with comments on the draft due in mid-December 2018.
