About this opportunity
NASA's Kennedy Space Center has published a Limited/Sole Source Justification Notice for Launch Vehicle Probabilistic Reliability Risk Analysis Services, awarding a contract valued at $813,000 to Advanced Systems Concepts Associates (ASCA) on April 2, 2025. The contract requires specialized Event Sequence Diagrams (ESDs) for DragonFly Probabilistic Risk Assessment services that analyze launch vehicle accident failure scenarios and nuclear payload release risks to support the National Security Presidential Memorandum (NSPM)-20 nuclear launch approval process. NASA justified the sole source award to ASCA based on their proprietary process and unique worldwide launch vehicle database that enables independent determination of launch vehicle failure probabilities, capabilities that are essential for characterizing risk levels for launch vehicles, spacecraft systems, and nuclear payload safety. ASCA has previously performed similar services for high-profile NASA missions including Cassini, Mars Pathfinder, Mars Exploration Rovers, Pluto New Horizons, and Mars2020. NASA published a notice on sam.gov on February 13, 2025, announcing the intent to award the sole-source contract with responses accepted through February 28, 2025, but received no responses challenging the sole source determination.
