COSMOS Preliminary Schedule.pdf

This document is a request for information (RFI) for the Contract for Organizing Spaceflight Mission Operations and Systems (COSMOS) procurement by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Johnson Space Center (JSC). NASA is conducting market research to identify interested parties for the follow-on procurement to the current NASA Mission Systems Operations Contract (MSOC). The RFI provides details about the anticipated COSMOS contract, including a single-award, Cost-Plus-Award-Fee contract with Indefinite-Delivery/Indefinite-Quantity and Level-of-Effort elements to support the International Space Station Program, Commercial Crew Program, and Moon to Mars Program. NASA is seeking capability statements from all interested parties, including large businesses, small businesses, and historically underrepresented groups, by March 11, 2024. NASA also seeks feedback on potential organizational conflicts of interest, performance metrics, contract structure, and technical planning processes. The RFI includes a draft Statement of Work and related documents. A solicitation is expected to be released after this market research phase.
