USGS EROS LNext MOC Vendor (Industry) Studies

The U.S. Geological Survey, on behalf of NASA, intends to release a request for quotation seeking industry studies to support development of the Landsat Next Mission Operations Center. Through this procurement, the USGS aims to explore more cost-effective architectures, design concepts, and operations models for the new mission's multiple satellite constellation and autonomous operations. Interested parties must be registered in SAM.gov and submit responses by December 22, 2023. Evaluations will be based on the offeror's proposed approach and associated development and operations costs to provide insight into industry capabilities.

There is no set-aside designation for this procurement. Awards of up to $250,000 are expected to be made to up to ten vendors under fixed-price contracts lasting from February 1, 2024 to May 31, 2024. The purpose of these studies is to further the USGS's understanding of industry ground system solutions to support the Landsat Next partnership with NASA, which aims to advance Earth observation through new autonomous and multi-satellite capabilities.
