About this file

This document provides details for the Venture-Class Acquisition of Dedicated and Rideshare (VADR) Launch Services solicitation released by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Kennedy Space Center. The solicitation will request pricing for Standard Launch Services on a not-to-exceed basis and labor rates for Special Task Assignments to provide FAA licensed launch services capable of delivering payloads to orbits between 200km and escape trajectories. The resultant contracts will have a five year ordering period and be Multiple Award Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity firm-fixed price contracts. The North American Industry Classification System code is 481212 and the small business size standard is 1,500 employees. Comments on all aspects of the draft solicitation are due within 30 days of its release to incorporate into the final request for proposals anticipated in June 2021, with proposals due 30 days later and contract award anticipated in October 2021.

LAUNCH SERVICES CAPABILITIES, SPECIFICATIONS AND ENVIRONMENTS

ATTACHMENT 05

FOR

Venture-Class Acquisition of Dedicated and Rideshare (VADR) Launch Services

VADR DRFP ATTACHMENT 05 80KSC020R0058

Where the expected payload environments exceed the range of environments described in the NASA Goddard General Environmental Verification Standard (GEVS), GSFC-STD- 7000 Rev A guidelines and/or the Space and Missile Systems Center Standard: Test Requirements for Launch, Upper-Stage and Space Vehicles (SMC-S-016), the Contractor shall identify mitigation options. Some missions may require specific limits to launch environments.

a. Describe the physical attributes, the capabilities, and the limitations (e.g. fueling, transportation, airlock, lifting, office space, GSE accommodation) of any payload processing facilities (PPF) to be available for any launch service being proposed including PPF occupancy duration(s). Specify the contamination environments achievable in the PPF and within the payload fairing. In addition, specify the temperature and humidity environments to which the PPF and PLF can be controlled (TBP to TBP°C (TBP to TBP°F) and TBP% to TBP%, respectively).

b. Describe the services, equipment, support, and limitations provided at the launch site for the integration and launch of each payload.

c. Describe any unique capabilities of the proposed launch service. This should include anything that the Contractor wishes to emphasize as unique to their launch service.
