Original Post, February 23, 2024 You are invited to submit a proposal in response to the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Headquarters’ (HQ) Commercial SmallSat Data Acquisition (CSDA) Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) Multiple Award Contract - On-Ramp 1 solicitation. The CSDA IDIQ contract was awarded in October 2023 as a commercial Multiple-Award contract with a 5-year period of performance and with the ability to issue Firm-Fixed Price (FFP) Task Orders.

The CSDA IDIQ contract includes an “On-Ramp” feature which allows for the original solicitation (#80HQTR23R0007) to be periodically re-opened to give new vendors the opportunity to propose. On-ramping will also allow existing vendors to propose new data products developed (or data products based on new instruments) that were not available during initial proposal submission. Only pricing associated with the new data products may be incorporated into the contract.

Existing prices will not be revised and will remain in effect for the duration of the contract. The principal purpose of the CSDA IDIQ contract 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 the 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 End-User License Agreements (EULAs). EULAs are non-negotiable.

The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this acquisition is 541990 and the small business size standard is $19.5M NASA will conduct this on-ramp as a full and open competition. 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 http://prod.nais.nasa.gov/pub/pub_library/Omb.html. The effective ordering period of any On-Ramp contracts shall be from date of award through November 15, 2028. Please see complete cover letter in the Attachments Section.
