About this opportunity
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) is issuing a Special Notice updating its acquisition strategy for the Landsat 10 Mission Operations Center (MOC) and flight operations scope, with a draft RFP estimated for early February 2027. The notice carries no set-aside. USGS intends to procure a new commercial MOC that is either cloud-based or containerized cloud-native, hosted on USGS Cloud Hosting Services (CHS) III or the EROS mission infrastructure Container (Kubernetes) Hosting Solution. Based on May 2026 RFI feedback and industry one-on-one meetings, the Government no longer considers augmenting the existing Landsat 8 and 9 LMOC.
The notice posts two draft reference documents: a MOC/Ops Synopsis and a MOC Requirements Document. The MOC functions document from the RFI is now incorporated into the Synopsis and will not be issued standalone. USGS is not requesting feedback at this time. Industry feedback opens after the Draft RFP release, which USGS anticipates following the spacecraft RFP award. The planned sequence is a virtual industry briefing shortly after the Draft RFP, a feedback period anticipated at 30 days, and tentative one-on-one meetings, virtual or in-person at Government discretion, before final RFP release.
Notice text
Following the May 2026 RFI feedback and one-on-one meetings with industry, the USGS has matured its acquisition strategy for the Landsat 10 Mission Operations Center and Flight Operations scope of work. USGS intends to procure a new commercial, cloud-based or containerized cloud-native MOC to be hosted using USGS's Cloud Hosting Services (CHS) III services or EROS mission infrastructure Container (Kubernetes) Hosting Solution, respectively. Based on industry feedback and technical study results, the Government is no longer considering the option to augment the existing Landsat 8 and 9 LMOC.
Included in this announcement are the following reference materials:
1) Draft MOC/Ops Synopsis Document
2) Draft MOC Requirements Document
The Government is not requesting feedback at this time; industry will have an opportunity to provide feedback when the Draft RFP is released. These draft documents build on feedback received in response to the May 2026 RFI and provide industry with additional technical detail to clarify the Government's current approach to the Landsat 10 MOC Development and Operations scope of work. These documents will continue to be refined following the spacecraft award and feedback on the draft RFP leading up to the final RFP release. The MOC functions document previously shared with the RFI has been incorporated into the MOC Synopsis and will no longer be issued as a standalone RFP document.
USGS is working toward the following timeline for the RFP surrounding this scope of work:
* Draft RFP Release: Estimating early February 2027 (anticipate this will be following spacecraft RFP award)
* Industry briefing (virtual): Shortly after Draft RFP announcement
* Feedback response period: Anticipated to be 30 days
* Tentative one-on-one meetings with contractors as needed to clarify any feedback provided (could be virtual or in-person, at the government's discretion)
* Final RFP Release: As soon as possible following updates to documentation based on industry feedback. Estimating May 2027
