CSDA On-Ramp 1_Virtual Industry Information Session_postingmdc.pdf

This document announces a solicitation for the Commercial SmallSat Data Acquisition (CSDA) Program Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) On-Ramp 1 - Request for Proposals (RFP). The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Headquarters is seeking proposals to acquire earth observation data and related services from commercial sources through the CSDA IDIQ contract, which was awarded in October 2023 with a 5-year period of performance. The CSDA IDIQ contract allows for periodic re-opening, or "on-ramping," to give new vendors the opportunity to propose and allow existing vendors to propose new data products developed after initial contract award. The solicitation seeks proposals for commercial earth observation data and related services to support NASA's Earth science research and application activities, with emphasis on data from commercial satellite constellations. Proposals are due by the dates specified in the solicitation, and any resulting contracts would have an effective ordering period from date of award through November 15, 2028. Adherence to government-defined End User License Agreements for dissemination of commercial data is required.
