About this opportunity

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration Goddard Space Flight Center, on behalf of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, is seeking information to inform the potential development of four Lightning Mapper instruments to be integrated onto the GeoXO series of geostationary satellites launching between 2032 and 2037. Responses are requested by June 30, 2021 for feedback on a potential Phase A study statement of work and requirements, and by August 9, 2021 for proposed instrument concepts. Evaluation will prioritize mission suitability, including the technical, management, scheduling, and risk assessment approaches, as well as past performance on relevant contracts over $1.25 million within the last five years.

There is no set-aside designated for this potential opportunity. The main NAICS code is 336419, PSC code is 1180, and the anticipated contract award date for instrument development is Q1 FY2024. Phase A study contracts of up to $5 million may be awarded, with the final Phase A study report due 12 months after authorization to proceed with the study. Current incumbent contractors were not named.
