Spaceport Infrastructure Maintenance and Operations (SIMO)
NASA Kennedy Space Center is conducting market research for the Spaceport Infrastructure Maintenance and Operations (SIMO) acquisition, a fixed-price contract succeeding BOSS to maintain and operate facilities, systems, equipment, and utilities primarily at KSC and Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, Florida, across roughly 220 square miles and serving over 30 customers. The scope includes preventive/predictive maintenance, reactive repairs and service requests, operations and control/monitoring systems (SCADA/BAS), logistics, and technical support, while NASA retains end-to-end engineering, spaceport integration, and construction-support responsibilities. Pricing is expected to use fixed-price, IDIQ maintenance support requests categorized by direct craft labor hours, with fuel and materials reimbursable and recurring 24/7 operations firm-fixed-price. A draft RFP has been posted for industry review and comment, and NASA anticipates RFP release on or about October 28, 2026, contract award on or about February 11, 2027, a phase-in of approximately 45 days, and contract start on April 1, 2027. Industry engagement includes contemplated one-on-one meetings the week of July 13, 2026, and a presolicitation conference/site visit in October 2026; NASA seeks capability statements from all interested parties, including small businesses and HBCU/MIs, with updates available on SAM.gov and the SIMO website.
