About this file

This is a Statement of Work (SOW) for cloud-native data services to be performed for NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC) Earth Sciences Division.

The Contractor shall provide firm fixed price work to transition a Phase 1 MERRA-21C proof-of-concept into a production data service, managing up to 3.5 petabytes of modeling datasets utilizing a zero-copy architecture. The contract duration is 12 months, commencing upon award. The Contractor must complete four primary objectives: (1) ingest existing production-ready datasets for MERRA-2, ECCO, and LIS into a shared zero-copy virtual catalog as analysis-ready cloud-optimized data; (2) bring the full MERRA-21C collection under management once GMAO completes production processing; (3) implement bucket-level credential configuration to integrate NASA Cloud Storage and Earthdata Login for seamless chunk read resolution; and (4) deliver documentation, quick-start guides, example notebooks, and early-adopter onboarding support, providing 120 implementation hours and 3,000 compute credits monthly. Key deliverables include kickoff and mobilization (Milestone 1), production implementation of MERRA-2, ECCO, LIS datasets with Earthdata Login integration (Milestone 2), MERRA-21C production implementation (Milestone 3), and ongoing platform availability subject to a 99.5% uptime Service Level Agreement. The primary Science Points of Contact are Lesley E. Ott (lesley.e.ott@nasa.gov) and backup Steven Pawson (steven.pawson-1@nasa.gov). The Contracting Officer Representative and Contracting Officer are not yet identified in this SOW.

Statement of Work (SOW) NASA Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC) Earth Sciences Division: Cloud- Native Data Services for NASA’s Earth-System Modeling Portfolio

Background:

The purpose of this SOW is to describe the firm fixed price work to be performed by the Contractor to turn a previously successful Phase 1 MERRA-21C proof-of-concept into a durable production data service. This phase brings the flagship IMVI modeling and reanalysis products (MERRA-2, ECCO, LIS, and MERRA-21C) under one governed catalog and one API layer, integrated with NASA’s cloud storage.

Scope of Work:

The Contractor shall perform the firm fixed price work necessary to provide an integrated cloud-native data platform license and implementation services for up to 3.5 PB of modeling dataset management utilizing a zero-copy architecture.

Period of Performance:

Start: Upon award Duration: 12 months Key milestones will be refined in consultation with Science POCs from each modeling team

Project Specific Requirements: The Contractor shall perform the following tracks/objectives:

• Objective 1: Analysis-ready cloud-optimized versions of MERRA-2, ECCO, and LIS: Ingest existing production-ready datasets into a shared zero-copy virtual catalog.

• Objective 2: Analysis-ready cloud-optimized MERRA-21C: Bring the full MERRA-21C collection under management as Analysis-ready cloud-optimized data once GMAO completes production processing.

• Objective 3: NASA Cloud Storage & Earthdata Login Integration: Implement bucket-level credential configuration to seamlessly resolve chunk reads against granules in place behind Earthdata Login.

• Objective 4: Support & Adoption: Deliver documentation, quick-starts, example notebooks, and early-adopter onboarding for internal and external NASA research groups. Provide 120 implementation hours and 3,000 compute credits per month.

Deliverables:

• Milestone 1: Kickoff and mobilization.

• Milestone 2: Production implementation of key datasets (MERRA-2, ECCO, LIS) and

Earthdata Login integration.

• Milestone 3: MERRA-21C production implementation.

• Ongoing platform availability subject to a 99.5% uptime SLA.
