About this opportunity
NASA Goddard Space Flight Center published this Limited / Sole Source Justification Notice for a six-month extension of the Safety and Mission Assurance Services II (SMAS II) contract through November 30, 2025. The extension, awarded to Axient LLC on May 29, 2025 through contract modification P00111, provides critical mission assurance services including systems reviews, safety, reliability, software assurance, quality assurance, and technical support for multiple high-profile NASA missions such as the Roman Space Telescope, OSIRIS-REx, James Webb Space Telescope, Dragonfly mission, and Joint Polar Satellite System. NASA justified the sole source extension as necessary to prevent disruption to critical mission support while a protest of the follow-on SMAS III contract is being adjudicated by the Government Accountability Office. The six-month extension is estimated to cost $13 million, bringing total contract obligations to approximately $171 million against the maximum ordering value of $188 million. NASA determined that changing contractors would cause unacceptable delays and mission risks due to the specialized knowledge required for ongoing space exploration projects, and no interested parties responded to a notice published on SAM.gov in April 2025.
