- Description
- NASA/Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC) is hereby soliciting information from potential sources for the development of the Landsat Next Instrument Suite (LandIS). The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) GSFC is seeking capability statements from all interested parties, including all socioeconomic categories of Small Businesses and Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU)/Minority Institutions (MI), and members of the underserved communities as defined by Executive Order 13985, Advancing Racial Equity And Support For Underserved Communities Through The Federal Government, for the purposes of determining the appropriate level of competition and/or small business subcontracting goals for the Landsat Next Instrument Suite. �The Government reserves the right to consider a Small, 8(a), Women-owned (WOSB), Service Disabled Veteran (SD-VOSB), Economically Disadvantaged Women-owned Small Business (EDWOSB) or HUBZone business set-aside based on responses received. The LandIS requirements are documented in Attachment A. Attachment A provides the current understanding of LandIS flight instrument requirements.� This document was used in the solicitation for the ongoing Landsat Next instrument studies.� This market research RFI is to solicit vendors having the capabilities necessary to meet or exceed the stated requirements for the flight instrument documented in Attachment A.� No solicitation exists; therefore, do not request a copy of the solicitation. If a solicitation is released, it will be synopsized on SAM.gov.� Interested firms are responsible for monitoring this website for the release of any solicitation or synopsis. Vendors having the capabilities necessary to meet or exceed the stated requirements for the LandIS flight instrument, are invited to submit appropriate documentation, literature, brochures, and references. Additionally, in support of the Executive Order (EO) 13985, Advancing Racial Equity and Support for Underserved Communities Through the Federal Government, NASA is seeking to advance equity or remove barriers for members of underserved communities related to this requirement. As defined in the EO, Underserved Communities refers to populations sharing a particular characteristic, as well as geographic communities, that have been systematically denied a full opportunity to participate in aspects of economic, social, and civic life, as exemplified by the list in the preceding definition of ""equity."" Equity means the consistent and systematic fair, just, and impartial treatment of all individuals, including individuals who belong to underserved communities that have been denied such treatment, such as Black, Latino, and Indigenous and Native American persons, Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders and other persons of color; members of religious minorities; lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ+) persons; persons with disabilities; persons who live in rural areas; and persons otherwise adversely affected by persistent poverty or inequality. NASA seeks input in the following areas: 1. To support the requirements identified in this request for information (RFI)/sources sought notification, what barriers or opportunities exist to engage subject matter experts from industry and academia and how can those barriers be overcome? How can underserved communities be leveraged? 2. To support the requirements identified in this RFI, what barriers or opportunities exist to partner with subcontractors that employ members of underserved communities, as defined above? 3. What other recommendations would you make to enhance diversity and inclusion? 4. What should be considered to encourage full participation and contribution of organizations and individuals (e.g., outreach efforts and innovative partnerships) in performance of this requirement?������������� All responses shall be submitted electronically via email to Michael Levy (michael.w.levy@nasa.gov) no later than the time and� date specified within this announcement.� Please reference LandIS Market Research RFI in any response.� This synopsis is for information and planning purposes only and is not to be construed as a commitment by the Government nor will the Government pay for information solicited.� Respondents will not be notified of the results of the evaluation. Respondents deemed fully qualified will be considered in any resultant solicitation for the requirement.� �� Amendment 1 This notice is amended to inform potential sources of the Landsat Next Instrument Suite (LandIS) community forum day. See attachment for details and instructions. Amendment 2 This notice is amended to inform potential sources of the rescheduled LandIS community forum day. See attachment for details and instructions. Amendment 3 This amendment updates the LandIS Community Forum 2nd Notice attachment to correct the POCs for registering for the Community Forum Day.
