This new procurement is for the Space Weather Next L1 Series Magnetometer (MAG). The L1 Series Magnetometer instrument consists of�two tri-axial fluxgate magnetometers that each measure the three components of the interplanetary magnetic field carried by the solar wind.� The contract scope includes the tasks and deliverables necessary to design, analyze, develop, fabricate, integrate, test, verify, evaluate, support launch, supply and maintain the instrument Ground Support Equipment (GSE), and support Mission Operations at the NOAA Satellite Operations Facility (NSOF). The overall period of performance of the contract is anticipated to be from the date of contract award through January 2034 for a total of approximately 9 years. The anticipated period of performance for the contract is from contract award through fifteen (15) months (TBR) after launch of the second mission. This includes post-delivery support for Observatory level integration, launch, post launch evaluation, calibration, data validation, operational handover to NOAA of the instruments, and on-orbit anomaly investigations.� The first flight unit shall be delivered by March 2027 and the second by June 2029.
