About this opportunity

NASA Goddard Space Flight Center is seeking a trailer-based small aperture mobile telemetry antenna system capable of operating in L/S/C band, designated as MTM-6, with options to purchase two additional medium gain mobile antennas (MTM-7 and MTM-8). The solicitation is a combined synopsis/request for quote (RFQ) under solicitation number 80GSFC25Q7005, targeting commercial products or services in the radio and telecommunications equipment manufacturing sector. The procurement will use a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) evaluation method, focusing on comprehensive technical compliance with NASA's detailed specifications for range telemetry operations. Potential contractors must demonstrate ability to meet rigorous technical requirements, including precise tracking accuracy, environmental resilience, and compatibility with NASA's complex data transmission protocols. The quote submission deadline is May 27, 2025, at 12:00 PM EST, with an expected total performance period of 14 months.

The solicitation is unrestricted but aligned with small business standards, with a NAICS code of 334220 and a size standard of 1,250 employees. The place of performance is Chincoteague, VA, specifically at the Wallops Flight Facility, where the antenna system will support NASA's range data acquisition and tracking capabilities. While specific award values are not explicitly stated, the procurement includes options for critical spares and potential consolidation of reviews and testing. The mobile antenna system must meet extensive technical requirements, including simultaneous right-hand and left-hand circular polarization receive capabilities, operation in temperatures ranging from -26°C to 54°C, and compatibility with various tracking modes such as manual, autotrack, slave, search, and program track. The system is expected to have a 20-year operational lifecycle and must integrate with NASA's existing trajectory and communication infrastructure.
