Cargo Resupply Service-2 Contract 2030 Extension

NASA Johnson Space Center has a requirement to extend the International Space Station (ISS) Commercial Resupply Services 2 (CRS2) contracts. The CRS2 contracts are FAR Part 12 commercial service, firm-fixed-price, multiple award, Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contracts.

NASA Johnson Space Center intends to issue sole source contract extensions to acquire the ISS delivery of pressurized and unpressurized cargo, return and disposal of pressurized cargo, disposal of unpressurized cargo, special tasks and studies, and ground support services for the end-to-end cargo resupply services. The supplies to be delivered by terms of the contract include air, water, food, clothing, medicine, spare parts, and scientific experiments for use in the U.S. and International Partner experimental modules.

Today NASA has CRS2 contracts with Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation Contract NNJ16GU21B, Sierra Nevada Corp. (SNC) Contract NNJ16GX07B, and Space Exploration Technologies Corp. (SpaceX) Contract NNJ16GX08B to fulfill these requirements, and have been performing these contracts in support of the ISS since January 2016.

NASA is contemplating a sole source extension to continue to acquire these services from January 1, 2027 to December 31, 2030.

The Government intends to acquire a commercial item using FAR Part 12.
