NASA Glenn Research Center (GRC) has a requirement for Lunar Exploration Ground Sites (LEGS) Public Private Partnership (PPP).
\n\nNASA GRC intends to award a sole source contract to KSAT Inc. under the authority of FAR 6.103-1 Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements to develop a global network of Lunar Exploration Ground Sites (LEGS) under a Public Private Partnership (PPP) model. LEGS will provide high-availability, direct-to-Earth communications coverage for spacecraft operating between 36,000 kilometers and 2 million kilometers from Earth, increasing NASA’s capacity to send and receive lunar data.
\n\nThe Government intends to acquire a commercial product or service using FAR Part 12.
\n\nInterested organizations may submit their capabilities and qualifications to perform the effort electronically via email to Ian Park, Contracting Officer at HQ-SCaN-LEGS@mail.nasa.gov no later than 3:00PM ET on 30OCT26. Such capabilities/qualifications will be evaluated solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct this acquisition on a competitive basis. A decision by the Government not to compete this acquisition on a full and open competition basis, based upon responses to this notice, is solely within the discretion of the Government.
\n\nNASA Clause 1852.215-84, Ombudsman, is applicable. The Center Ombudsman for this acquisition can be found at : https://www.hq.nasa.gov/office/procurement/regs/Procurement-Ombuds-Comp-Advocate-Listing.pdf
