About this opportunity
NASA's National Shared Services Center (NSSC) has published a Special Notice for Technical Expertise Support related to the APEX Concept Development Incubator at NASA Ames Research Center. The agency intends to issue a sole source contract to Coyote Enterprises of Colorado Springs, Colorado under FAR 13.106-1(b)(1)(i) authority, having determined that Coyote Enterprises is the sole provider for this specialized technical support. The procurement falls under NAICS code 541990 for professional, scientific, and technical services, with performance to be conducted at NASA Ames Research Center through a hybrid on-site and virtual arrangement. The government plans to acquire commercial items and services using FAR Part 12 and Part 13 provisions and procedures. The notice was posted on July 7, 2025, with a submission deadline of July 9, 2025.
The primary objective of this Special Notice is to provide an opportunity for interested organizations to demonstrate their capabilities and qualifications to perform technical expertise support, potentially leading to a competitive procurement process instead of the planned sole source award. Organizations must submit written responses by 3:00 p.m. Central Standard Time on July 9, 2025, detailing their qualifications to support the APEX Concept Development Incubator program. The contract involves providing 1,562 hours of expert technical consultation and facilitation to support maturing Pre-Phase A science and technology mission concepts through September 30, 2028. Contractors must demonstrate international expertise in technical training programs for space agencies, substantial knowledge of NASA project management and systems engineering practices, and proficiency in assessing NASA Concept Maturity Levels. The government will evaluate submissions solely to determine whether to conduct the procurement on a competitive basis, with the final decision remaining at the government's discretion.
