Description
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) invites you to submit a proposal for the NASA Launch Services (NLS) contract. The original NASA Launch Services (NLS) RFP was issued on October 18, 1999, resulting in the award of Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) task order contracts to Boeing Delta Launch Services, Inc. and Lockheed Martin Commercial Launch Services, Inc. The original solicitation remains open for a period of ten years from the effective release date through the use of an innovative on-ramp provision found in Section C, clause 2.0. On a semi-annual basis, NASA invites new, emerging domestic launch service providers that meet the minimum contract requirements to submit proposals during an open season. The open season for proposal submission is the entire month of February and August of each calendar year. An electronic version of the Executive Summary, which provides an overview of the requirements contained in the subject solicitation, along with the entire NLS solicitation can be found at the NASA KSC homepage under Business Opportunities. The Executive Summary also conveys NASA’s intent to utilize commercial provider’s capabilities and processes to the maximum extent possible.
