About this opportunity
NASA Headquarters has awarded contract 80HQTR26C0010 to EarthDaily Analytics USA, Inc. on a sole-source basis for Earth science data observations and project formulation support services for the Sustainable Land Imaging Commercialization project, with a period of performance from September 25, 2026 through September 24, 2027.
NASA cited 10 U.S.C. 2304(a)(1), only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. EarthDaily is the sole responsible source capable of performing the SLI Commercialization effort because the project demands a highly specialized provider with proven, mission-specific commercial Earth observation expertise. NASA conducted market research through an RFI posted August 15, 2025, an SLI Industry Week with technical interchange sessions, and evaluation by the Mission Alternatives Assessment Team. Four vendor responses to the formal synopsis posted July 22, 2026 were received. Three vendors were determined incapable of meeting SLI Commercialization formulation requirements. EarthDaily Analytics alone demonstrated full alignment with Landsat-class requirements, calibration and validation expertise, hybrid government-commercial architecture experience, and domain knowledge of commercial business models. Two additional capability statements received after synopsis close were determined insufficient to meet mandatory requirements. Services include commercial Earth observation vendor engagement, product requirements development, certification workflow support, calibration and validation planning, and technical strategy support to advance the project toward Key Decision Point-A. The estimated contract value is redacted. NASA committed to re-engaging the market every one to two years through future RFIs to identify additional competitive sources.
