Enclosure C - Pricing Template.pdf

This document is a Firm Fixed Price pricing template for NASA's NextSTEP-3 Omnibus-CIS Appendix C solicitation, designed to capture detailed cost breakdown for a 6-month period. The template includes sections for direct labor pricing, overhead, subcontract pricing, other direct costs (ODCs), general and administrative (G&A) expenses, and profit calculation, with each section providing granular fields for itemizing specific costs and rates. While the template is currently blank, it requires vendors to comprehensively document labor categories, hours, rates, subcontractor details, travel expenses, and other direct costs associated with proposed communication architecture studies for lunar and Mars communication infrastructure.

The pricing template is part of NASA Goddard Space Flight Center's solicitation seeking industry-led capability studies for developing interoperable space communication networks, with proposals due by August 6, 2025. Vendors can propose on one or both study areas: Lunar Trunkline Communication Architectures and Mars End-to-End Communication Service Architectures. The ultimate goal is to establish a commercial space marketplace with multiple reliable service providers, with NASA serving as one potential customer in a broader ecosystem of space communication solutions.
