About this file
This synopsis of proposed contract action announces the U.S. Geological Survey's (USGS) intent to release a request for quotation for industry studies to support development of the Landsat Next Mission Operations Center. The USGS is partnered with NASA on the Landsat Next mission and is responsible for the ground system, including the operations center. Through this procurement, the USGS seeks to explore more efficient and effective operations concepts using emerging technologies for the new mission's multiple satellite constellation and autonomous operations. Interested offerors must be registered in SAM.gov and the solicitation seeking proposals is anticipated within two days. The resulting contracts would have a four month period of performance from an estimated February 2024 start date. Awards up to $250,000 are expected to be made to up to ten vendors to obtain information on candidate architectures, design concepts and costs to help the USGS understand industry capabilities for developing and operating the mission.

(16) Description: This is a pre-solicitation announcement (synopsis of proposed contract action) notifying firms that the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) anticipates release of a solicitation (Request for
Quotation (RFQ)) for industry to study technology and systems for the Landsat Next (LNext) Mission
Operations Center (MOC).
The USGS is partnered with National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) for development of the
LNext mission, with the USGS being responsible for the ground system which includes the MOC. As the
LNext mission will be substantially different from prior Landsat missions with multiple satellites in a constellation and autonomous on-board operations, the USGS is interested in exploring technologies and systems that can support the new LNext operations concept using the most efficient, effective methods possible.
In February 2023, USGS released a Landsat Next MOC Request for Information (RFI) to gather industry input for a future Landsat Next MOC considering 1) Landsat Multi-satellite Mission Operations Center
(LMOC) augmentation 2) alternative MOC solutions. While responses to the RFI significantly helped USGS understand the industry capabilities, the USGS continues to seek additional information on cost effective
MOC architectures and design concepts for constellation operations for Landsat Next alternative MOC solutions. In addition, Landsat Next released the Landsat Next Mission Synopsis that provides additional information on the Landsat Next mission operations concept, greater detail about interfaces between the
MOC and the observatory, and automation concepts. These funded studies are needed by the USGS to obtain additional information necessary to help understand industry capabilities including candidate architectures, design concepts, and associated costs for development and operations phases of the mission.
The government anticipates award of up to 10 firm fixed price contracts (purchase orders) as a result of this solicitation. The government anticipates release of a solicitation (Request for Proposal – RFP) a minimum of
2 days after the release of this synopsis. All details/terms pertaining to this requirement will be provided within the solicitation documents.
SYNOPSIS OF PROPOSED CONTRACT ACTION – 140G0124Q0011
The anticipated period of performance of the resulting award(s) is four months (estimated 02/01/2024 –
05/31/2024.
All interested firms must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) database at www.sam.gov with a unique entity identified (UEI).
This acquisition will be solicited/awarded in accordance with FAR 13.5 (Simplified Procedures for Certain
Commercial Products and Commercial Services)
Contact the Contracting Officer via email, at ckuhn@usgs.gov, with any questions.
