About this opportunity
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration Marshall Space Flight Center published a Limited/Sole Source Justification Notice for the award of the Mars Ascent Propulsion System contract to Northrop Grumman Innovation Systems. The contract calls for Northrop Grumman to provide the design, development, testing and delivery of two different solid rocket motor stages with thrust vector control systems for a Mars Ascent Vehicle to support a potential Mars Sample Return mission between October 2020 and October 2025. The justification cites Northrop Grumman as the only source able to meet the required schedule due to its proprietary solid rocket propellant and specialized solid rocket nozzle joint design deemed necessary for this critical, high-risk mission. The cost-plus, fixed-fee contract has a potential value between $60.2 million to $84.5 million.
