FreeFlyer provides specialized modeling, simulation, and analysis capabilities not available within the MDC's existing tool suite, including non-deterministic architecture and highly scriptable environment for complex spacecraft behavior modeling and autonomous operations analysis. NASA Ames Mission Design Center personnel completed a one-month evaluation trial that validated FreeFlyer's applicability to mission design workflows and identified significant reductions in analysis and development time compared to current processes. The Government will conduct procurement using FAR Part 12 procedures for commercial acquisitions. Interested organizations may submit written capabilities and qualifications to Shanna L. Patterson, Procurement Specialist (Shanna.L.Patterson@nasa.gov), by 7:00 a.m. Central Standard Time on May 26, 2026.
