About this opportunity
NASA Goddard Space Flight Center seeks proposals from partners to develop boom concepts for lunar instrument payloads responding to upcoming NASA ROSES 2024 program elements. Interested parties must demonstrate capabilities to develop boom concepts, provide proposal materials, and oversee boom production and integration if selected. Proposals are due April 3, 2024 with selections by April 15, 2024. The anticipated program element release is March 2024 with proposals due June 2024 and selections by October 2024 involving launch no later than October 2028. Costs must cover development, testing and integration not exceeding $8 million including $2 million reserves held at the project level.
There is no set-aside designation. Proposed costs shall include boom development, testing and boom integration support. No funds will be exchanged for initial proposals but selection may lead to subsequent funding. Mission timelines involve proposal submissions in 2024, selection in 2024 and launch readiness by 2028.
Notice text
This proposal opportunity is in anticipation of several possible responses to NASA ROSES 2024 program element appendices: Stand Alone Landing Site Agnostic Payloads and Research Investigations on the Surface of the Moon (SALSA/PRISM) and Lunar Terrain Vehicle (LTV). NASA GSFC is developing instrument concepts requiring booms to be proposed for these calls.
This partnership opportunity is being issued to select a teaming partner(s) to:
- Develop the boom concept for the initial proposal submission.
- Provide information, graphics and text on the boom for the proposal as appropriate.
- Oversee (including building, integrating, and testing) the complete flight boom system if awarded.
The proposed missions are currently in pre-Phase A. This phase ends with proposals that will be due 3 months after the program element is released. If any proposal is selected for implementation, the mission will proceed into Phase A, per NASA Procedural Requirement (NPR) 7120.8A (e.g. http://nodis3.gsfc.nasa.gov/main_lib.html). The following schedule should be used as a basis for responses to this opportunity:
Partnership Opportunity Document released March 1, 2024
Responses due April 3, 2024
Partner Selection announced ~April 15, 2024
AO Released ~March 2024
Proposal submittal in response to AO ~June 2024
Selection(s) Announced ~Oct 2024
Launch Readiness date ~Oct 2028
More detailed dates should be available in the final program element for each instrument concept.
Total cost and cost fidelity are important issues for the proposal. The cost cap for this program element is yet to be finalized, and is expected to be ~ $8M with $2M for reserves. Proposed cost shall include the boom development, testing and boom to instrument integration support. Reserves will be held at the Project level and not with the partner.
There will be no exchange of funds between the teaming partners for the portion of this partnership opportunity dealing with the preparation of the initial submission to the program element. Funding will be available for subsequent phases should the candidate mission concept be competitively down-selected to move into the next phase. These proposals are expected to be single-step.
Upon selection, GSFC may discuss with the partner a further tailoring of roles proposed by respondents in the best interests of the proposal.
