TO: All Potential Offerors

SUBJECT: Draft Request for Proposal (DRFP), Solicitation No. 80JSC026R0021, for the Commercial Low Earth Orbit (LEO) Destination Contract (CLDC) Acquisition

You are invited to review and comment on the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Johnson Space Center’s (JSC) CLDC draft solicitation.

The principal purpose of this requirement is for NASA to acquire services from a commercially owned and operated LEO Destination that can provide safe, reliable, and cost-effective end-to-end services to succeed the International Space Station (ISS). This will ensure NASA has a sustained human presence in LEO for crew members to perform science and exploration. As part of this service, the Contractor(s) will design, build, and operate the Commercial LEO Destination (CLD) which covers all aspects of development and certification, including design, manufacturing, demonstration/testing, qualification, production, transportation vehicles, including operational missions (cargo/crew) and utilization activities post CLD certification. Given the complexity of the contract, NASA is encouraging use of NASA personnel and expertise using a Government Collaboration Agreement (GCA). NASA has unique personnel and expertise that NASA is making available to the CLD Contractor.

NASA will conduct this acquisition as a full-and-open competition. This competitive acquisition will result in a Multi-Award Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract with the ability to issue Firm-Fixed-Priced (FFP) task orders. The contract will have an effective ordering period of 8 years from the contract effective date, and four option periods to extend the ordering period as follows: a 2-year Option Period 1, a 2-year Option Period 2, 2-year Option period 3 and a 1-year Option Period 4 for a total potential ordering period of 15 years.

The current planned release date for the Final Request for Proposal (RFP) is late August 2026, with proposals being due approximately sixty (60) calendar days later.

The anticipated contract award date is early Spring 2027, with an effective date occurring

Draft Request for Proposal (RFP) - 80JSC026R0021 Commercial Low Earth Orbit (LEO) Destination Contract (CLDC) on the same day as the award. The contracts will primarily be performed off-site at the Contractor’s facilities; Contractors may perform some aspect of the work on-site at NASA centers as enabled by NASA Collaborations or Government Task Agreements (GTAs).

The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this acquisition is 336414, Guided Missile and Space Vehicle Manufacturing, and the small business size standard is 1,300 employees.

Potential Offerors are encouraged to comment on all aspects of the draft solicitation, including the schedules, proposal instructions (DRFP’s Section L), and evaluation approaches (DRFP’s section M criteria); any perceived safety, security (including information technology security), export control, and/or other programmatic risk issues associated with performance of the work. Offerors should identify potential Organizational Conflicts of Interest (OCI), any unclear or inefficient requirements, unique terms and conditions, and are encouraged to comment on the DRFP Contract Line-Item Number (CLIN) structure and the Offeror’s ability to effectively price CLINs. In addition, the Contracting Officer is seeking Industry feedback and recommendations on the following:

a. Schedule B, Pricing structure (all CLINs) – Industry’s understanding of the pricing requirements and any specific feedback for NASA on these requirements to ensure clarity.

b. Section C, Statement of Work (SOW) including any requirements that could be overly restrictive/prescriptive.

c. Technical Library and any requirements that are unnecessarily driving cost or design.

d. Any elements of NASA’s approach that could hinder a proposed solution.

e. NASA’s approach to legal and liability framework.

f. Indemnification Under Public Law 85-804 outlined in Section L.17.5 including activities that would arise that are considered unusually hazardous risks, and any issues faced by Offerors to develop a reasonable risk allocation structure.

g. Section J, Attachment J-11 and Attachment J-12, Work Plans – including on Performance Based Milestone definitions, milestone percentages, and clarity of instructions for Offeror to propose additional interim milestones including feedback to ensure the milestones are verified mission critical outcomes and focus on achievement of major mission outcomes that exceed contract requirements

h. Any Proposed Government Furnished Property, Equipment and Services that could be provided by the Government in Attachment J-13 Government Furnished Property, Data and Information for the Final RFP. Government property may be provided for use during performance of the contract. The Government will consider options for the use disposition of Government property after completion of contract performance in accordance with FAR 45.6, Reporting, Reutilization, and Disposal.

i. The amount and type of Past Performance data requested and/or the value of the Government evaluating Past Performance for this acquisition, if any.

j. The requirement for providing an End-to-End service including transportation. If Government Furnished Transportation and Support Services (GFTSS) is desired, please specify your alternative approach including the scope of services needed, number and type of missions per year, timing, any changes proposed to J-15 to support your proposed architecture and when you would be ready to transition to full End-to-End service.

Contractors must have formal policies and procedures, which address the validation of the electronic annual property or final property submission data, including data from subcontractors, and the identification and timely reporting of errors. The objective of this validation is to ensure that information reported is accurate and in compliance with the NASA FAR Supplement. If errors are discovered on the electronic annual or final property submission after submittal the contractor must contact the cognizant NASA Center Industrial Property Officer (IPO) within 10 days after discovery of the error to discuss corrective action. If there is an error found during the Contractor’s property submission, it will be disapproved, and Contractor will receive an automatic email explaining what is needed for it to be approved.

Such reserve must be withheld until the Contracting Officer has determined that NASA has received the required reports.

(ii) Phase 2: CLIN 2 Competition. The Government will compete CLIN 2 among contractors per the Multi-Phase Competition Procedures and its selection criteria for award which would result in a minimum buy increase for the selected contractors per the clause, IDIQ Minimum Guarantee Supplement and Conditions.

of the Phase 2 Competition is for NASA to evaluate the Phase 1 Contractors’ progress, maturity, approach and changes to make a phase 2 selection. However, the following draft evaluation factors are provided as preliminary information.

(i) Demonstration of successful completion of Phase 1 requirements and milestones and successful completion of the IPR milestone submittals.

(ii) Mission Suitability Sub-factors will focus on the Offeror’s ability to obtain NASA Certification of an end-to-end CLDS, the estimated date for the Offeror’s readiness to support NASA’s purchase of a Mission Services to the CLD, and the inherent and residual risk in the Offeror’s CLDS.

After completion of CLIN 1, contractors may propose major changes to the transportation cost, additional enhancements/capabilities, and price reductions as part of the CLDC RFTOP process. Contractors are required to provide sufficient detail for NASA to determine required justification to the previously accepted CLDC services and/or a CLDC Configuration Change (e.g., a new Configuration). Information other than cost and pricing data may be required at the TO level for fixed price orders. NASA has the unilateral discretion to accept or reject proposed price changes and absent the government's clear acceptance of a pricing change, the established contract pricing will remain in force.

These evaluation factors are not final and will be further identified in Phase 2 RFTOP. NASA reserves the right to change any factors and the date upon which proposals are requested.

Any such changes in evaluation factors will not necessitate issuance of a new, formal solicitation.
