About this opportunity
NASA Johnson Space Center has awarded a sole-source ceiling increase of $18,000,000 to The Charles Stark Draper Laboratory, Inc. under contract 80JSC021DA005, under a limited sources justification, for additional development, maintenance, and application of Guidance, Navigation, and Control (GN&C) products and services for the Engineering Directorate's Aeroscience and Flight Mechanics Division. The award date is March 30, 2026, and the notice was posted November 3, 2026. No set-aside was used.
A notice of intent was posted on SAM.gov on February 25, 2026 and closed March 12, 2026, with no industry responses received. The Contracting Officer determined the ceiling increase to be fair and reasonable. Per the GovTribe summary of the attached JOFOC, the justification cites 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) and states that only one responsible source can satisfy Agency requirements without unacceptable delays. The summary attributes Draper's uniqueness to its Apollo guidance algorithm work, its proprietary Linear Covariance navigation analysis tool and Terrain Relative Navigation capabilities, and its Orion/Artemis experience, including Exploration Flight Test-1 and Artemis I.
The contract is a Cost Plus Fixed Fee Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (CPFF IDIQ) vehicle with a stated value of approximately $67 million that runs through May 31, 2026. Future task orders require individual proposal submissions and price reasonableness evaluations. Draper previously held sole-source GN&C contracts NNJ11HA31C ($45.8 million) and NNJ16HK08B ($38.7 million). The notice is coded NAICS 541330 and PSC B599.
