TrueView Go 132S mapping sensor

NASA's National Aeronautics and Space Administration Shared Services Center (NASA/NSSC) is conducting a pre-solicitation notice for the procurement of a TrueView Go 132S mapping sensor, a handheld, LiDAR-based mobile mapping instrument designed to serve as a commercial-off-the-shelf comparison and ground-truth reference for the LAUNCHER (LiDAR Line-up Assessment for Upcoming Navigation Challenges to Help Ease Risk) project. The procurement will be conducted under FAR Part 12 (Commercial Items) procedures, with performance taking place at NASA Marshall Space Flight Center. Key requirements include a handheld LiDAR-based mapping sensor with integrated GPS/GNSS and camera capabilities, approximately 100-meter ranging capability with 0.5-centimeter range resolution, sophisticated SLAM (Simultaneous Localization and Mapping) processing, perpetual-license local-machine processing software that does not require cloud-computing resources, and data processing software compatible with Esri ArcPro and Agisoft Metashape plug-ins. This is a sole source procurement based on NASA's determination that no existing mobile LiDAR mapping capability within the agency can provide equivalent functionality. Interested organizations may challenge the sole source determination by submitting written capability statements by 4:00 p.m. Central Standard Time on April 13, 2026; submissions will be evaluated solely to determine whether to conduct the procurement on a competitive basis.

This opportunity is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside. GEOCUE GROUP INC. has been identified as the current intended sole source provider for this specialized mapping sensor. No specific contract award value or budget range is disclosed in the pre-solicitation notice, nor is a specific quantity stated, though the procurement centers on a single handheld mapping instrument system with associated hardware and software. The solicitation ID for all correspondence is 80NSSC26928771Q, and the NAICS code is 541512 (Computer Systems Design Services), with the PSC category classified as 7B20 (IT and Telecom - High Performance Compute Hardware and Perpetual License Software). Oral communications regarding capability statements are not acceptable; all submissions must be in written format and received by the April 13, 2026 deadline.
