About this opportunity
NASA Goddard Space Flight Center has awarded a sole-source contract to Omitron, Inc. for Orbital Safety Analysis Support Services with an estimated value of $47.453 million.
The justification for sole-source procurement rests on Omitron's status as the incumbent provider since the 1980s and its unique qualifications as the developer and maintainer of the Astrodynamics Support Workstation (ASW) software used on classified operations floors. The contractor provides conjunction assessment screening services for all NASA uncrewed spacecraft, supports human spaceflight activities including ISS operations, performs screening of protected assets against the space object catalog (classified and unclassified portions), supports launch and reentry activities, and conducts breakup and event analysis. NASA asserts that transition to an alternative provider would create unacceptable risk of catastrophic mission asset loss or loss of human life. Omitron possesses specialized expertise in legacy FORTRAN ASW code and Space Force operational procedures that no other source has demonstrated. A Request for Information posted January 3, 2023 drew responses only from the incumbent; a subsequent Notice of Intent to Award posted November 2, 2023 received zero responses from competing sources. The authority cited is 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1). Place of performance includes classified facilities at Vandenberg Space Force Base (18th Space Defense Squadron) and Dahlgren Naval Station (19th Space Defense Squadron), both belonging to United States Space Force Space Delta 2. Personnel must be trained on all applicable mission systems required to perform OSA duties, including future missions.
