About this opportunity
NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center issued a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (JOFOC) on April 9, 2026, for Modification P00009 to Contract 80MSFC23CA017 with Element 84 under the Scalable Science Data Exploration program. The contractor will develop and maintain open-source tools for ingesting and cataloging science datasets into the cloud, create cloud-native services for indexing and dynamic scaling, and develop cloud-native search, discovery, and distribution services to support Earth observation data visualization and geospatial analysis for NASA's Earth Science Division. The sole-source extension was justified under 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) based on the need to ensure operational continuity during the transition to a competitive Next Generation follow-on contract, with the short three-month performance window making contractor transition impractical and operationally risky. The contractor identity was not disclosed in the posting; however, the extension adds $430,000 to the contract, bringing the total contract value from $2,381,703 to $2,811,703, with performance running from April 1 through June 30, 2026, plus an optional one-month contingency period through July 31, 2026. The contract's overall period spans from July 29, 2023 through July 31, 2026, and prior market research confirmed no suitable alternative sources through established procurement channels.
