This document outlines a draft request for proposal from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration Goddard Space Flight Center. NASA is seeking up to four contractors to conduct an 8-month formulation study with a not-to-exceed value of $800,000 each, along with a 4-month optional extension valued at $400,000 each. The study concerns the Space Weather Next Lagrange 1 Series Coronagraph instrument, which will provide coronal imagery of the sun to detect and characterize earth-directed coronal mass ejections. Final reports are due 12 months after contract award. Proposals are due in January 2023, with anticipated awards in April 2023 to be performed offsite at contractors' facilities. NASA has identified potential organizational conflicts of interest that are described in clause 1852.209-71.
