About this opportunity
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration Shared Services Center (NASA/NSSC) has issued a Special Notice for a PML Solar-Tracking Radiometry Platform procurement. The notice indicates NASA's intent to issue a sole source contract to Plymouth Marine Laboratory, located in the United Kingdom. The contract will be for a specialized solar-tracking radiometry control system to be used at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center. NASA has determined that Plymouth Marine Laboratory is the exclusive provider of this specific platform. The procurement falls under the NAICS code 334519 for Measuring and Controlling Device Manufacturing and will be processed using FAR Part 12 and Part 13 procedures.
Interested organizations are invited to submit their capabilities and qualifications in writing by May 15, 2025, at 3:00 p.m. Central Standard Time. The purpose of this submission is to allow NASA to evaluate whether the procurement should be conducted on a competitive basis, though the final determination remains solely at the government's discretion. The procurement involves a control system for collecting full-spectrum light intensity measurements using TriOS RAMSES radiometers, specifically designed to support ocean color measurements for NASA's Plankton, Atmosphere, Cloud, ocean Ecosystem (PACE) satellite program. The system will be developed over a 4-5 month performance period at the Ocean Ecology Laboratory, involving hardware construction, programming, and testing with specific firmware upgrades. Contractors should note that oral communications are not acceptable in response to this notice, and they can reference the NASA Clause 1852.215-84 Ombudsman for additional guidance.
