Commercial Smallsat Data Acquisition (CSDA) BPA Award to GeoOptics, Inc.

NASA has awarded a sole source Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) for the Commercial Smallsat Data Acquisition (CSDA) Program to GeoOptics, Inc. (GeoOptics), of Pasadena, California to provide commercial small constellation satellite products for evaluation to determine the utility for advancing NASA’s science and application goals. GeoOptics will provide a comprehensive catalogue of Earth Observation data High Resolution Radio Occultation (RO) Commercial Earth Observation Data products. The Justification for Other than Full and Open Competition (JOFOC) is attached.

This is a fixed-price BPA and each call issued is not to exceed $7 million over a five-year period from the effective date of November 14, 2022. The work will be performed at the contractor’s facilities in Pasadena, California.

The contractor shall be responsible for delivery of a comprehensive catalog of its commercial Earth Observation data High Resolution Radio Occultation (RO) Commercial Earth Observation Data products indicating at a minimum: the data sets, associated metadata and ancillary information; data cadence; data latency; area coverage; and data usage policy. 

NASA will assess and evaluate these small constellation satellite data products with the purpose of augmenting and/or complementing NASA-collected data in the future. To facilitate standard scientific collaborations, NASA required End User License Agreements to enable broad levels of dissemination and shareability of the commercial data with the U.S. government agencies and partners.
