About this opportunity
NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center is soliciting information from potential sources for the development and sustainment of software and hardware systems that provide science data management for the Earth Science Data and Information System (ESDIS) Next (ENX) project. This pre-solicitation notice seeks capability statements from all interested parties, including small businesses, Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), Minority Institutions (MIs), and members of underserved communities, to determine the appropriate level of competition and establish small business subcontracting goals. The ENX contract represents the evolution and follow-on to the current Earth Observing and Information System (EOSDIS) Evolution and Development (EED)-3 contract and will involve replacing and/or augmenting current systems with commercial cloud-based solutions to reduce operational costs and implement new capabilities. The procurement focuses on high-performance computing support services and computer systems design, with requirements encompassing program management, system engineering, development, sustainment and maintenance, IT security, user services, operations, and testing. The pre-solicitation notice was posted on September 12, 2024, with a due date for responses of September 26, 2024, and NASA anticipates releasing a Draft Request for Proposal tentatively in Q3 of the fiscal year.
No set-aside designation has been applied to this opportunity at this time; however, the Government reserves the right to consider a Small Business, 8(a), Women-Owned Small Business (WOSB), Service Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SD-VOSB), Economically Disadvantaged Women-Owned Small Business (EDWOSB), or HUBZone business set-aside based on the responses received. The current incumbent is the EED-3 contract holder, though no specific contractor name or award value is disclosed in the pre-solicitation notice. No specific budget range or contract value is provided in the available documentation. This is an early-stage acquisition planning effort, and interested firms are instructed to monitor SAM.gov for the release of the formal solicitation and any additional notices or updates regarding this procurement. No formal solicitation currently exists, and vendors should not request copies of the solicitation at this time.

***************************************************************************
Update: This notice is to inform Industry that the Earth Science Data and Information System (ESDIS) Next (ENX) procurement is no longer on hold. The Government is currently in the early acquisition planning stage and a schedule will be forthcoming. We anticipate a release of the Draft Request for Proposal tentatively for Q3.
No solicitation currently exists; therefore, do not request a copy of the solicitation. Interested firms are encouraged to continue monitoring this website for the release of any solicitation, synopsis, or updates to this procurement.
***************************************************************************
NASA/Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC) is hereby soliciting information from potential sources for the development and sustaining engineering of software and hardware systems that provide science data management for the Earth Science Data and Information System (ESDIS) Project titled ESDIS Next (ENX ). ENX is the evolution and follow-on to the current Earth Observing and Information System (EOSDID) Evolution and Development (EED)-3 contract.
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) GSFC is seeking capability statements from all interested parties, including all socioeconomic categories of Small Businesses and Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU)/Minority Institutions (MI), and members of the underserved communities as defined by Executive Order 13985, Advancing Racial Equity And Support For Underserved Communities Through The Federal Government, for the purposes of determining the appropriate level of competition and/or small business subcontracting goals for ENX. The Government reserves the right to consider a Small, 8(a), Women-owned (WOSB), Service Disabled Veteran (SD-VOSB), Economically Disadvantaged Women-owned Small Business (EDWOSB) or HUBZone business set-aside based on responses received.
No solicitation exists; therefore, do not request a copy of the solicitation. If a solicitation is released, it will be synopsized on SAM.gov. Interested firms are responsible for monitoring this website for the release of any solicitation or synopsis.
Vendors having the capabilities necessary to meet or exceed the stated requirements as described in the attached DRAFT Statement of Work (SOW) are invited to submit appropriate documentation, literature, brochures, and references.
Additionally, in support of the Executive Order (EO) 13985, Advancing Racial Equity and Support for Underserved Communities Through the Federal Government, NASA is seeking to advance equity or remove barriers for members of underserved communities related to this requirement. As defined in the EO, Underserved Communities refers to populations sharing a particular characteristic, as well as geographic communities, that have been systematically denied a full opportunity to participate in aspects of economic, social, and civic life, as exemplified by the list in the preceding definition of "equity." Equity means the consistent and systematic fair, just, and impartial treatment of all individuals, including individuals who belong to underserved communities that have been denied such treatment, such as Black, Latino, and Indigenous and Native American persons, Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders and other persons of color; members of religious minorities; lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ+) persons; persons with disabilities; persons who live in rural areas; and persons otherwise adversely affected by persistent poverty or inequality.
NASA seeks input in the following areas:
1. To support the requirements identified in this request for information (RFI)/sources sought notification, what barriers or opportunities exist to engage subject matter experts from industry and academia and how can those barriers be overcome? How can underserved communities be leveraged?
2. To support the requirements identified in this RFI, what barriers or opportunities exist to partner with subcontractors that employ members of underserved communities, as defined above?
3. What other recommendations would you make to enhance diversity and inclusion?
4. What should be considered to encourage full participation and contribution of organizations and individuals (e.g., outreach efforts and innovative partnerships) in performance of this requirement?
All responses shall be submitted electronically via email to Jonathon D. Wingerberg at Jonathon.D.Wingerberg@nasa.gov no later than September 26, 2024, 3:00PM EDT.
This synopsis is for information and planning purposes only and is not to be construed as a commitment by the Government nor will the Government pay for information solicited. Respondents will not be notified of the results of the evaluation.
