About this opportunity
This solicitation seeks proposals to design, develop, integrate, test, calibrate and support a Supra Thermal Ion Sensor instrument as part of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration Goddard Space Flight Center's Space Weather Follow On - L1 Observatory mission. Offerors must deliver one flight model instrument, one engineering development unit, associated flight harnesses and spare parts. Proposals will be evaluated based on cost, schedule, and achievement of small business participation goals, and must be submitted within 45 days of the anticipated fall 2019 release of the request for proposal.
The North American Industry Classification code for this procurement is 336414 for aerospace product and parts manufacturing. There is no set-aside designation. The total period of performance is 76 months and includes delivery of all contract items as well as instrument support through the initial on-orbit mission operations phase. Evaluation of proposals will also consider an offeror's ability to meet small business subcontracting goals of 6% total small business, with targets of 1.5-1% for small disadvantaged, women-owned, HUBZone, veteran-owned, and service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses. The contract type is cost-plus-incentive-fee and potential incumbents were not identified.

Update #1 ·
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC) plans to issue a Request for Proposal (RFP) for a Supra Thermal Ion Sensor (STIS) for the Space Weather Follow On (SWFO - L1) Mission. The SWFO - L1 Mission is a high priority joint undertaking by NASA and the Department of the Commerce, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). The SWFO - L1 Observatory will provide NOAA with the continuity of solar wind data and coronal mass ejection (CME) imagery, which is the National Weather Service’s highest priority for space weather observations. The STIS instrument will be part of the SWFO - L1 satellite. The instrument will measure the ion flux population with or without mass discrimination as a function of energy.
STIS is an ion spectrometer device that measures ions across a broad range of energies to characterize solar ejecta including Coronal Mass Ejections (CMEs), co-rotating interaction regions (CIRs) and interplanetary shocks. In particular, STIS is a low energy charged particle detector that is capable of measuring the ion flux population as a function of energy. This ion population with energies higher than that of the bulk plasma are produced by local solar acceleration as well as acceleration from a CME shock front. Analysis of these spectra can aid in estimating the arrival time and strength of CMEs shocks.
It is anticipated that the STIS contract will include the delivery of one (1) flight model (FM) instrument and one (1) Engineering Development Unit (EDU), flight harness(es) between instrument boxes, if applicable, and enough spares and built-up sub-assemblies for one additional FM.
The scope of work will include all tasks necessary to design, analyze, develop, fabricate, integrate, test, calibrate, evaluate and support launch and on-orbit check-out of the STIS instrument; supply and maintain the instrument Ground Support Equipment (GSE), and support the Mission Operations Center (MOC) through mission hand over to NOAA.
Competitive procedures will be used to fulfill this requirement, providing full and open competition. The anticipated small business goals for this procurement are as follows: Total Small Business Goal 6%; Small Disadvantaged Business Concerns (SDB) 1.5%; Women Owned Small Business Concerns (WOSB) 1%; Historically Black Colleges & Universities 0.5%; HUBZone Small Business Concerns 0.5%; Veteran-Owned Small Business Concerns (VOSB) 1.5%; Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business Concern 0.5%; Other 0.5%.
The resulting contract type is anticipated to be Cost-Plus-Incentive-Fee, with incentives for cost and schedule.
The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) Code and Size Standard are 336414 and 1,250 employees, respectively.
The Government does not intend to acquire a commercial item using FAR Part 12.
The Government anticipates the release of a Request for Proposal (RFP) in Fall 2019. Offers will be due 45 days after the release date. All qualified responsible sources may submit an offer which shall be considered by the agency.
Oral communications are not acceptable in response to this notice.
