About this opportunity
NASA Johnson Space Center has issued a Limited/Sole Source Justification Notice for Commercial Resupply Services (CRS) 2 Contract NNJ16GU21B, awarding a task order to Northrop Grumman for International Space Station (ISS) cargo resupply services in calendar year 2028. The contract covers end-to-end resupply cargo services, including launch and landing site resources, launch vehicle, ISS visiting vehicle, and reentry vehicle, with NASA requiring three to four flights per year to support ISS operations. Northrop Grumman was selected as the sole source due to the unique capabilities of its Cygnus vehicle, which offers specific mission requirements such as berthing design, large cargo capacity, long-duration mission capability, waste disposal services, and operational reboost support. The Standard Mission B task order will include pressurized and unpressurized cargo delivery, disposal services, and ISS orbit maintenance support, with the vehicle capable of extended berthing periods using a berthing port. While the exact award amount is not specified, NASA will determine price reasonableness through comparison with historical mission prices in the Northrop Grumman CRS-2 contract and prices proposed by other CRS-2 contractors.
