About this opportunity
NASA Headquarters has issued a Limited / Sole Source Justification Notice for a firm-fixed price order to Airbus DS Geo, Inc. for Optical Imagery and WorldDEM data products under the Commercial Satellite Data Acquisition (CSDA) Program. The contract, valued at $968,629, will cover a 12-month performance period focused on evaluating the quality and utility of Airbus's data products. The justification for the sole source procurement is based on FAR 16.505(b)(2)(i)(B), which allows for an exception when only one awardee can provide highly specialized supplies or services. NASA currently has three vendors in the CSDA program (Planet Labs, Maxar, and BlackSky) but is specifically targeting Airbus for this evaluation phase. The agency plans to continue examining the market for alternative solutions and intends to re-engage the community through future on-ramping efforts, with the expectation that Airbus may compete for task orders in the subsequent Sustainment Phase.
