This document provides details regarding a final request for proposal (RFP) for a Coronagraph Instrument Phase A Study. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration Goddard Space Flight Center is seeking proposals to provide a definition-phase study of a Coronagraph instrument to be incorporated into the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's L1 Series satellite series. The instrument will provide coronal imagery of the Sun to detect and characterize Earth-directed coronal mass ejections. NASA intends to award a minimum of two firm fixed price Phase A study contracts valued at approximately $1.2 million each, with an optional 4-month extension, to support moving the formulation study towards a Preliminary Design Review level of readiness. The anticipated contract award date is May 2023. Proposals are due no later than February 27, 2023 and must be submitted electronically through NASA's Enterprise File Sharing and Sync Box platform.
