Multi-Platform Investigation of Cross-Scale Energy Transfer

NASA's Shared Services Center seeks to award a sole source contract to HEXAF INNOVATIONS LLC for Multi-Platform Investigation of Cross-Scale Energy Transfer, with capability statements due June 22, 2026. The procurement is issued under FAR 12.102(a) authority and will be conducted as a commercial item acquisition under FAR Part 12 procedures; however, the Government will evaluate submissions to determine whether to convert this to full and open competition, a determination solely within Government discretion.

Place of performance is NASA Goddard Space Flight Center. The work runs August 1, 2026 through July 31, 2027 and encompasses event-driven studies of magnetospheric substorms using satellite and ground-based observational data to support the Links multi-scale geospace mission. Deliverables include identifying candidate substorm events with aligned THEMIS and MMS satellite data and ground-based coverage from ELFIN, POES/MetOp, and Swarm; detailed studies of current sheet formation and disruption in the near-Earth magnetotail with reconnection rate calculations; analysis of magnetotail activity relative to particle injections and ionospheric responses; and development of an artificial intelligence and machine learning-assisted event workflow prototype for event organization, feature extraction, and Links-relevant data analysis planning. The NAICS code is 541715 (Research and Development in the Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences); the PSC is R425 (Support—Professional: Engineering/Technical). Interested organizations must submit written capabilities and qualifications by 2:00 p.m. Central Standard Time on June 22. Oral communications are not acceptable.
