L1 Series XRIS SOW.pdf

This document is a Request for Information (RFI) for the procurement of X-ray Irradiance Sensors (XRIS) to be used on the Space Weather Next Lagrange 1 Series (L1 Series) Satellites, a joint undertaking by NASA and NOAA.

The government is seeking capability statements from interested parties, including small businesses and underserved communities, to determine the appropriate level of competition and small business subcontracting goals for the XRIS acquisition. The government may consider a small business set-aside based on the responses received. The RFI requests information on the company's ability to perform the effort, the feasibility of using the sensor in other orbits, the impact of adding a flare location identification requirement, and an assessment of the proposed schedule with accelerated, nominal, and conservative options. The government will use this information to finalize the Request for Proposal (RFP) as necessary and may provide interested parties the opportunity for one-on-one discussions regarding the XRIS instrument at a future date. Responses are due by 5:00 pm EDT on Friday, June 14, 2024.
