About this opportunity
NASA's Johnson Space Center has published a Special Notice regarding Task Order 013-80JSC025F0033 under the MagQuest Phase 4C program. This notice serves as documentation for a sole-source task order valued at $6.5 million being awarded to Luminary Labs LLC through the NASA Open Innovation Services 3 (NOIS3) Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity contract vehicle. The task order is set aside for total small business participation and falls under the professional, scientific, and technical services sector. The notice includes a Justification for an Exception to Fair Opportunity (JEFO) document that explains NASA's rationale for proceeding with a sole-source award rather than conducting a competitive procurement.
The task order supports the MagQuest Geomagnetic Challenge Technology Demonstration, which aims to enhance data collection capabilities for producing the World Magnetic Model—a critical resource for national security and public safety missions. The contract has a performance period extending from the award date through September 28, 2026, and represents a logical continuation of previous work under task order NOIS2-105 MagQuest Phase 4B. NASA justifies the sole-source approach by citing potential unrecoverable schedule delays, substantial cost duplication, and significant performance risks that would result from introducing a new contractor at this stage. The firm fixed-price task order will encompass on-orbit calibration, data collection, and data evaluation activities to ensure continued updates to the World Magnetic Model. NASA plans to ensure fair and reasonable pricing through comparison with historical price data from previous related contracts.
