About this opportunity
NASA Goddard Space Flight Center published this Limited/Sole Source Justification Notice for specialized airborne data acquisition services using the Goddard's Lidar, Hyperspectral and Thermal (G-LiHT) multi-sensor airborne imager system. The contract involves conducting airborne surveys in Alaska's Upper and Lower Yukon Forest Inventory Units, with preliminary calibration and test flights to be performed in Virginia near NASA Goddard Space Flight Center. NASA justified the sole-source award to Dynamic Aviation based on their unique technical capabilities, including a specially modified A90 King Air aircraft with custom nadir ports, specialized nosecones, power systems, and existing NASA airworthiness approvals that no other vendor could provide. The contract was awarded on June 13, 2025, with an estimated performance period of 83 weeks, during which flights will be conducted at 335-meter altitude over approximately 27,000 kilometers of survey transects. While the specific contract value was not disclosed, NASA conducted market research through a synopsis published on April 17, 2025, which yielded no responsive alternative vendors, further supporting the sole-source determination.
