- Description
- NASA/Headquarters plans to issue a Request for Proposal (RFP) for the following Commercial item/services in support of the Commercial SmallSat Data Acquisition (CSDA) Program. The principal purpose of this acquisition is to acquire earth observation data and related services from commercial sources for the NASA Science Mission Directorate (SMD), Earth Sciences Division (ESD). This effort will serve as a streamlined and flexible method for the Government to acquire�data�from commercial sources to�support NASA�s Earth science research and application activities.�Emphasis will be placed on data acquired by commercial�constellations, affording the means of complementing NASA's�Earth observations�data with higher resolutions,�increased temporal frequency or other novel capabilities.�NASA will require adherence to government-defined End User License Agreements (EULAs) to enable broad levels of dissemination and shareability of the commercial data with other US government agencies and partners. There will be a set of government-defined license tiers (i.e., EULA tiers) associated with all contracts and task orders awarded for Scientific Non-Commercial Use. Specific details on the requirements can be found on the attached Draft Statement of Work (SOW), and Draft End-User License Agreements (EULAs). EULAs are non-negotiable. The objectives of the CSDA Program are to: Establish continuous and repeatable processes to on-ramp new commercial data vendors and evaluate data for its potential to advance NASA's Earth science research and applications activities. Enable the sustained use of purchased data for broader use and dissemination by NASA scientific community. Ensure long-term data preservation through the establishment of data management processes and systems to support rapid evaluation, access to and distribution of purchased data, and long-term access to purchased data for scientific reproducibility. Coordinate with other U.S. Government agencies and international partners on the evaluation and scientific use of commercial data. This acquisition will be a full and open competitive procurement. The NAICS Code and Size Standard are 541990 and $16.5M, respectively.� The CSDA Program contract has been defined as a commercial Multiple-Award Indefinite-Delivery, Indefinite-Quantity (IDIQ) contract with Firm-Fixed Price (FFP) task orders, with a 5-year period of performance. The Government intends to acquire commercial services using FAR Part 12. The anticipated release date of the Draft RFP (DRFP) 80HQTR22R0004 �is July 2022 and Final RFP (FRFP) 80HQTR22R0004 is on or about October 2022 with an anticipated proposal due date approximately 30 days later of on or about November 2022. At that time, all responsible sources may submit a proposal which shall be considered by the agency.� NASA Clause 1852.215-84, Ombudsman, is applicable.� The Center Ombudsman for this acquisition can be found at Procurement-Ombuds-Comp-Advocate-Listing.pdf (nasa.gov).� This posting, in addition to any attached documents, will be available on www.Sam.gov.
