NASA Goddard Space Flight Center is seeking market information from qualified vendors for comprehensive mission operations and ground system support across science and Earth science missions, including EOS, MMS, GPM, LRO, JWST, Fermi, GOES, Roman, and SDO. Services span ground systems engineering, integration and test, launch and early-orbit support, flight operations, flight dynamics, data collection and distribution, sustaining engineering, systems administration, IT security, and database administration. The RFI explores a potential transition from cost-plus-award-fee to firm-fixed-price, including performance-based payments, catalog-style pricing by mission risk class, and a Core-plus-IDIQ structure. Responses should provide implementation approach and rough-order-of-magnitude costs, limited to 30 pages, and the Government may hold one-on-one Q&A sessions with dates and duration TBD. This RFI is informational only and does not obligate the Government or reimburse respondent costs.

NASA Goddard Space Flight Center is seeking information from qualified vendors for a potential follow-on contract to provide comprehensive mission operations and ground system support across a broad portfolio of NASA science and Earth science missions. The scope includes ground systems engineering, integration and test, flight operations, flight dynamics, launch and early operations, sustaining engineering, mission data collection/distribution, systems administration, IT security, cloud infrastructure, cybersecurity, DevSecOps, and collision avoidance. Vendors are asked to provide an implementation approach and rough-order-of-magnitude costs, plus feedback on transitioning from CPAF to FFP, catalog-style pricing by mission risk class, and a Core-plus-IDIQ structure. Responses are limited to 30 pages and must follow specified formatting requirements; formal one-on-one Q&A sessions will occur after the RFI period closes, with dates and duration TBD.

NASA Goddard Space Flight Center is seeking market intelligence, technical approaches, and rough-order-of-magnitude cost information for a potential future procurement supporting NASA science and Earth science mission operations, issued as an informational RFI only. The scope covers end-to-end mission operations for missions such as EOS, MMS, GPM, LRO, JWST, Fermi, GOES, Roman, and SDO, including ground systems engineering/integration/test, flight operations, flight dynamics, sustaining engineering, data collection/distribution, IT security, cloud, cybersecurity, DevSecOps, and collision avoidance. The Government wants industry feedback on transitioning from Cost-Plus-Award-Fee to Firm-Fixed-Price, using catalog-style pricing by mission risk classification, and a possible Core-plus-IDIQ structure. Respondents may propose using Government Furnished Equipment, including implementation costs and savings versus vendor-provided ground resources, with GFE information updated as of 10/1/26. Formal one-on-one Q&A sessions with vendors capable of full scope are planned, with dates and duration TBD.

NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center is gathering market intelligence from qualified vendors for a potential follow-on mission operations support contract (GSMO-4) covering a broad portfolio of NASA science and Earth science missions. The scope includes end-to-end mission operations such as ground systems engineering, launch and early-orbit support, flight operations and dynamics, sustaining engineering, mission data collection/distribution, systems administration, IT security, cloud infrastructure management, cybersecurity monitoring, DevSecOps automation, and collision avoidance/conjunction assessment. The government is evaluating a transition from Cost-Plus-Award-Fee to Firm-Fixed-Price, in whole or in part, and seeks industry feedback on feasibility, risks, suitable scope, necessary assumptions/data, incentives, and contract structure. It is also exploring catalog-style FFP pricing by mission risk class (e.g., Class B, C, D) and a Core-plus-IDIQ structure for stable flagship missions versus other missions/development. Responses may use government-furnished operations resources, with vendors asked to include GSMO implementation costs and cost differences/savings compared to providing all ground resources.
