- Description
- The WFIRST Project, which is managed by the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, is surveying the market to identify vendors that have the interest and capability to provide all the personnel, services, materials, equipment and facilities necessary to design and develop the Opto-Mechanical Assembly of the Wide Field Instrument (WFI), known as the WOMA, and integrate, align and test the WOMA with Government Furnished Equipment resulting in a flight qualified WFI. The contractor shall also provide the post-delivery support for payload level calibration, the observatory integration and test program, and on-orbit observatory checkout and commissioning. Briefly, WFIRST is a NASA observatory designed to perform Wide Field imaging and surveys of the near infrared sky. WFIRST is a 6 year mission, currently targeted to launch in 2025 and will be in orbit at the Sun-Earth L2 point. The purpose of this Sources Sought Synopsis (Sources Sought) is to survey vendor capabilities to meet the WFIRST mission requirements as described in the draft excerpt of the Statement of Work, which is attached. This request is for information and planning purposes and feasibility of the requirements. Also, NASA is seeking capabilities from all categories of Small Businesses and HBCU/MSIs for the purpose of determining the appropriate level of competition and/or Small Business and HBCU/MSI subcontracting goals for this requirement. This capability statement should indicate the ability to be the Prime Contractor or Subcontractor and perform all aspects of the effort described herein.
