- Description
- The NASA Launch Services (NLS) II Request for Proposal (RFP) was issued on September 4, 2009, and remains open for a period of fifteen years from the effective date through the use of an innovative on-ramp provision found in Section C, Clause 2.0. The NLS II contract�s ordering period remains valid through June 30, 2025.� The RFP has resulted in the award of Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) task order contracts to United Launch Services, LLC., Orbital Sciences Corporation (currently known as Northrop Grumman Innovation Systems), and Space Exploration Technologies. Each August during the life of the solicitation, or at any other time established via synopsis, the Government will accept proposals from new launch service providers for IDIQ contracts and proposals from existing IDIQ contractors for additional launch services. Launch services proposed under the NLS II solicitation shall only include launch vehicles capable of being certified to risk mitigation Category 2 and 3 in accordance with NASA Policy Directive 8610.7D Launch Services Risk Mitigation Policy for NASA-Owned and/or NASA-Sponsored Payloads/Missions. These launch services, at a minimum, shall be capable of delivering a 250kg payload to orbit at an altitude of 200km and a launch inclination of 28.5 degrees.� This acquisition is restricted to domestic sources. Minimum contract requirements will be set forth in Attachment E3, Paragraph 1.0 of the NLS II RFP if released. Specifically, in addition to the launch vehicle requirements described above, offerors must be domestic launch service providers and must be AS9100 certified by the date of contract award. Based on NASA�s knowledge of the current U.S. domestic launch service marketplace, it is not anticipated that any new or existing offerors will have a launch vehicle to on-ramp during the 2020 NLS on-ramp period. Based on this, NASA does not anticipate releasing a solicitation revision to request proposals for a 2020 on-ramp. It is requested that any interested party notify NASA in writing no later than July 31, 2020, of your intent to submit a proposal during this on-ramp period as well as a description of the launch vehicle configuration(s) you intend to propose and current flight manifest. �If no viable responses are received, NASA will not conduct a 2020 NLS on-ramp. Should NASA decide to release an RFP revision for the 2020 on-ramp based on feedback from this synopsis, it is anticipated that proposals will be due on or around September 30, 2020. An ombudsman has been appointed in accordance with NFS 1852.215-84. Point of Contact Name: J.
