Firm-Fixed Price Multiple Award IDIQ Contract that contractors shall compete for and provide commercial lunar payload services pursuant to task orders issued by the Contracting Officer throughout a 10-year effective ordering period. These services shall include the personnel, facilities, and materials, unless otherwise provided by the Government, to accomplish the tasks.

Services will include:
Physical and analytical integration of the NASA payloads or instruments onto the existing or forthcoming commercial mission;
Transportation to the Moon for the NASA payloads or instruments, to include landing and surface access to agreed-upon locations on the Lunar surface; and
Provision of "utilities" such as power, communications, thermal control, etc., during launch integration, launch and cruise phase, and perhaps for a limited period of time after landing.

Services could also include:
The purchase of science or engineering data provided by contractor payloads;
The return of payload and/or samples to the Earth; and
Non-standard services which include, but are not limited to, special studies, analyses, process improvements, and minor hardware and software development.
Minor HW or SW are undetermined in advance, but it is typical to facilitate payload integration that may require the lander provider to develop interface HW or SW to match our instrument interface.

The purpose of this requirement is to acquire end-to-end commercial payload services between the Earth and the lunar surface for NASA. The contractor shall provide all activities necessary to safely integrate, accommodate, transport, and operate NASA payloads using contractor-provided assets, including launch vehicles, lunar lander spacecraft, lunar surface systems, Earth re-entry vehicles, and associated resources.
The CLPS acquisition is an "Other than Full and Open Competition", limiting sources to domestic providers for the purposes of industrial mobilization..
