This document outlines a federal contract opportunity for the Geostationary Extended Observations (GeoXO) Sounder (GXS) Instrument Implementation. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA)/Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC) is seeking proposals to implement the GeoXO Sounder instrument, a new hyperspectral infrared instrument that will provide critical atmospheric temperature and water vapor observations for weather prediction models. The contract scope includes tasks to design, develop, fabricate, integrate, calibrate, test, verify, evaluate, and support the instrument through launch and 10 years of on-orbit operations. NASA anticipates awarding a cost-plus-award-fee contract by late August 2023 to support one flight model instrument along with options for an additional flight model and a spare. Offerors should monitor www.Sam.gov for release of the draft RFP by mid-December 2022 and final RFP by early February 2023, with questions due 15 days after posting. The North American Industry Classification System code is 541330 with a size standard of $22.5M.
