About this opportunity
NASA/NSSC is conducting a sole source procurement for Wildfire Interdisciplinary Research Center (WIRC) membership with a capability statement submission deadline of September 7, 2026 at 4:00 p.m. Central Standard Time. The Government intends to award to San Jose State University based on a determination that it is the sole provider of WIRC membership, though written capability statements from interested organizations will be evaluated to determine whether the Government should proceed on a competitive basis; the Government retains sole discretion to award sole source.
The one-year engagement, performed at the contractor's facility from January 1, 2027 through December 31, 2027, requires the contractor to facilitate a pre-competitive industry consortium engaging for-profit entities in wildfire management, utility, and insurance sectors. The contractor shall conduct research leveraging NASA Earth Science Division data products (FIRMS, MODIS, VIIRS, POWER, Black Marble) to enhance wildfire analytics and fuel moisture datasets, coordinate an Industry Advisory Board, and submit quarterly reports detailing IAB engagement and collaboration opportunities aligned with NASA ESD IUCRC requirements. The contractor must also convey emerging operational needs from IAB members to inform next-generation NASA ESD missions with emphasis on decision-making requirements and commercialization pathways.
Submissions must be capability statements only; quotes will not be considered. Oral communications are not acceptable. Performance location is specified as the contractor's facility. NAICS 541715 applies. NASA FAR Supplement Clause 1852.215-84 (Ombudsman) applies.
