About this opportunity
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Glenn Research Center has issued a Request for Information (RFI) to solicit responses from interested parties regarding the commercial development of a ground system to provide communications for vehicles transiting from Earth to cislunar space, the Lunar Gateway, the Lunar surface, and Earth-Sun L1 and L2 Lagrange Points. The RFI seeks information on the responder's capability to deliver an operationally ready ground station at three specific locations: White Sands Complex in New Mexico, Matjiesfontein in South Africa, and a preliminary site in Western Australia. Respondents are asked to provide rough cost estimates, high-level schedules, and details on operations and maintenance approaches.
The RFI is not a set-aside opportunity, and NASA is open to inputs from both domestic and international companies. The agency is offering virtual one-on-one sessions to answer questions, and responses are due by July 15, 2024. NASA may publish a listing of respondents to facilitate teaming arrangements, and the information gathered through this RFI may be used to construct a future potential acquisition, but no proposal is to be submitted in response to this RFI.
