The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) will release a Cooperative Agreement Notice (CAN) and is seeking potential sources for planning purposes only. This notice is not a formal Request for Proposals (RFP) or Request for Quotes (RFQ). No awards will be made from the responses to this announcement. The Government will not reimburse any costs associated with the development and submission of materials in response to this request. NASA is inquiring for any potential sources capable of carrying out observational, experimental, and theoretical research in support of NASA strategic earth science mission objectives. This procurement is a follow-on to the current Goddard Earth Sciences Technology and Research (GESTAR) Cooperative Agreement Number NNG11HP16A. The goal is to establish a partnership that will continue to bring together NASA and external scientists to implement NASA strategic goals. This partnership will continue to expand on the capabilities and strengths of the participating organizations in the area of earth sciences, provide organization and staffing flexibility to adapt to evolving research program needs, increase the involvement of minority and women scientists in earth science research, and facilitate access to student talent to provide them with opportunities to participate in NASA programs. As part of this collaborative effort, potential areas in which research will be conducted may include: Atmospheric Aerosols Atmospheric Chemistry Atmospheric Water Cycle Carbon Cycle and Ecosystems Climate Modeling and Analysis Oceanography Polar Climate Change Terrestrial Water Cycle Weather and Short-Term Climate Earth Rotational and Gravitational Dynamics Planetary Analog Studies The work in these research areas covers a range of activities such as scientific modeling and data analysis, software development, field measurements, scientific instrument design and development, data processing systems support, scientific documentation, and public and community outreach. NASA requests that interested parties, at a minimum, supply the following information: Business name and address Name of the company representative, title and email Telephone number, address, and email address of POC Type of business (large, small, non-profit, educational institution, etc) Cage Code DUNS A brief capabilities statement package (no more than five pages) demonstrating their ability to perform research activities under the mentioned areas. Demonstrated past performance performing similar services should be detailed, if applicable. It is anticipated that the CAN will be released with proposals due sometime within the beginning of the Federal Government’s Fiscal Year Quarter 2. The expected award date is May 10, 2021. All information and data received in response to this notice marked or designated as corporate or proprietary information will be protected as such. Please include this notice number on all documents and email correspondence. Please transmit responses by email to Joel Rivera, Contract Specialist, at Joel.Rivera@nasa.gov in either Windows Microsoft Office or PDF format. All responses must be received on or before May 29, 2020. This is not a request for proposals. Phone solicitations or emails regarding the status of this sources sought will not be accepted.
