About this opportunity

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Goddard Space Flight Center is seeking proposals for the Atmosphere Support (ATMOS) contract, which will provide research support to conduct a comprehensive atmospheric science research and technology development program. The principal objectives are to observe, monitor, characterize, model, and advance knowledge of the Earth's atmosphere, including clouds, aerosols, precipitation, atmospheric chemistry, and solar variability. The competitive acquisition will result in a 5-year Cost-Plus-Fixed-Fee Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract, with proposals due by November 27, 2024 and an anticipated award date of April 30, 2025. Evaluation criteria will assess the offeror's understanding of the requirements, technical approach, past performance, and management capabilities.

This will be a small business set-aside acquisition, with the work primarily performed onsite at the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, though alternate places of performance may be specified in individual task orders. The IDIQ contract is expected to have a 5-year effective ordering period beginning June 1, 2025, but the total contract value is not specified. The solicitation includes detailed Government Pricing Models, data requirements, and other supporting documentation to assist offerors in preparing their proposals.

You are invited to submit a proposal in response to the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC)’s Atmosphere Support (ATMOS) solicitation. The principal purpose of this requirement is research support that conducts a comprehensive atmospheric science research and technology development program directed towards observing, monitoring, characterizing, modeling, understanding, and advancing knowledge of the Earth’s atmosphere. The research program is aimed at understanding the structure, dynamics, and radiative properties of clouds, aerosols, and precipitation; understanding atmospheric chemistry, especially the role of natural and anthropogenic trace species on the ozone balance in the stratosphere and troposphere; understanding the influence of solar variability on the Earth’s climate; and advancing our understanding of the physical properties of the Earth’s atmosphere including its interaction with the Earth’s surface.

NASA will conduct this acquisition as a small business set-aside competition. This competitive acquisition will result in a Cost-Plus-Fixed Fee (CPFF) Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) requirement with the ability to issue CPFF task orders. The contract will have an effective ordering period of 5 years from the contract effective date.

The anticipated contract award date is April 30, 2025, with a June 1, 2025 contract effective date. The contract will be performed onsite at NASA GSFC. Alternate places of performance may be specified in individual task orders issued.

Please see the attached cover letter for additional information.
