Goddard Logistics Services Contract (GLSC) - UPDATED

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC) is re-soliciting information from potential sources capable of providing logistics support and other related services, as described herein, for NASA GSFC, NASA Headquarters (HQ), and the NASA Wallops Flight Facility (WFF). A previous Sources Sought Notice was issued under the subject Notice ID on July 27, 2022. It is anticipated that NASA GSFC will issue a solicitation for a follow-on contract to the Goddard Logistics & Technical Information II (GLTI II) contract currently being performed under contract number 80GSFC17C0010.

NASA GSFC is seeking responses from all interested parties, including all socioeconomic categories of Small Businesses and Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU)/Minority Institutions (MI), for the purpose of determining the appropriate level of competition or Small Business subcontracting goals for the services to be performed under this requirement.

The purpose of the contemplated Goddard Logistics Services Contract (GLSC) requirement is to provide support to the NASA Information and Logistics Management Division (ILMD). The ILMD is responsible for providing expertise to develop, innovate, and advance all NASA GSFC's logistics management needs to meet Earth science, space science, and exploration mission requirements. The principal purpose of this requirement is to obtain logistics services in an environment which the Contractor manages the daily operations while achieving maximum cost-effectiveness, high customer satisfaction, compliance with applicable federal laws and regulations, and ILMD procedures.

These ILMD logistics services include, but are not limited to:

Any above-mentioned services in direct support of NASA programs and projects are critical in nature. These services are technical in nature and directly impact stakeholder schedules and costs across multiple Agency missions. Examples of these critical services are, but not limited to, purchasing/warehousing/issuing Electrical, Electronic, and Electromechanical (EEE) Parts, packing and crating, global space flight hardware transportation and related engineering support, and Export Control services.
