- Description
- NASA/GSFC has a requirement for extended mission operations and data analysis (MO&DA) support for the Thermosphere Inosphere Mesosphere Energetics and Dynamics (TIMED) Mission. The acquisition will be for an additional three years of mission operation support and one year with a one option of data analysis support. The TIMED mission will investigate and understand the energetics of the Mesophere and the Lower Thermosphere/Inosphere (MTLI) region. For the MO&DA phase the contractor will be responsible for operating the TIMED mission and ensuring it meets its intended scientific requirements. The Contractor shall provide the personnel, facilities, materials, ground station, ground support equipment, and other items required to accomplish MO&DA. The Mission Operations Center (MOC), which is the primary ground station, and a Mission Data Center (MDC) shall be located at the Contractor's facility. The instrument Payload Operations Center (POC) and Data Processing Center (DPC) shall be located at the facility of each Principal Investigator (PI) or Co-Investigator. The Contrator shall provide mission science planning, mission operations, and spacecraft engineering supporting the TIMED MOC and MDC. The Contractor shall provide technical and scientific oversight of TIMED investigators and manage interfaces with the TIMED spacecraft, the MOC, and the POCs. NASA/GSFC intends to purchase the items from the Johns Hopkins University(JHU) Applied Physics Laboratory under 10 U.S.C. 2304 (c)(1), Only One Responsible Source. JHU/APL was responsible for designing, developing, fabricating, assembling, integrating, testing, and storing the TIMED Observatory consisting of a spacecraft and four flight instruments. The Government does not intend to acquire a commercial item using FAR Part 12. See Note 26. See note 22. Oral communications are acceptable in response to this notice. All responsible sources may submit an offer which shall be considered by the agency. An Ombudsman has been appointed. See NASA Specific Note "B".
