About this opportunity

NASA's Johnson Space Center is seeking a comprehensive contract for the Contract for Organizing Spaceflight Mission Operations and Systems (COSMOS), which will provide advanced mission operations and systems support for critical spaceflight programs including the International Space Station, Commercial Crew Program, and Moon to Mars Programs. The solicitation, identified as RFP 80JSC024R0003, requires offerors to submit a five-volume proposal with specific formatting and page limitations, with the complete proposal due by December 13, 2024 at 1:00 p.m. Central Time. Potential contractors must demonstrate capabilities in managing, developing, modifying, integrating, testing, maintaining, and operating mission systems, and must possess a Top Secret Facility Clearance and CMMI Level 3 certification. Key evaluation dates include a pre-proposal conference on November 8, 2024, and a deadline for submitting questions on the same date. The proposal will be evaluated across multiple volumes, including Mission Suitability, Past Performance, Cost/Price, Responsibility Considerations, and Model Contract.

The contract is a single-award, Indefinite-Delivery/Indefinite-Quantity (IDIQ) contract with the potential for Cost-Plus-Award-Fee (CPAF) and Cost-Plus-Fixed-Fee (CPFF) task orders. While no specific set-aside is designated, the solicitation emphasizes small business subcontracting goals. The place of performance will be Houston, Texas, specifically at NASA's Johnson Space Center, with a 92-day initial phase-in period and potential for a 9-year base and option period. Though specific award values are marked as To Be Determined (TBD), the contract includes provisions for award fees and fixed fees. Attendance at the pre-proposal conference is limited to six individuals per company, and prospective offerors are encouraged to notify the Contracting Officer of their intent to submit an offer. The contract will support multiple spaceflight programs, indicating a complex and dynamic operational environment requiring sophisticated mission support capabilities.
