This notice is issued by the NASA Johnson Space Center (JSC) to post a Draft Request for Proposal (DRFP) to solicit responses from interested parties on the DRFP. This DRFP document is to allow industry the opportunity to verify the reasonableness and feasibility of the requirement, as well as to promote competition. The objective of the Lunar Terrain Vehicle Services (LTVS) acquisition is to procure the capability of increased lunar surface unpressurized mobility for suited Extravehicular Activity (EVA) crew members, and to telerobotically perform science, exploration, and logistics on the lunar surface when the crew is not present. The LTVS contract will provide for safe, reliable, and cost-effective LTV services to meet NASA’s need for a human-class rover that will extend the exploration range of EVA-suited crewmembers on the surface of the Moon. Mobility will enable the crew members to traverse greater distances to better explore the lunar surface. This presolicitation synopsis is not to be construed as a commitment by the Government, nor will the Government pay for the information submitted in response. The Government may not respond to questions/concerns submitted. The Government will use the information to finalize the RFP as necessary.
