New Space Opportunities.
This award is for a one year BPA with two one year options possible. The maximum value of this contract is $600,000. The first BPA call awarded under this BPA is NNA11AD05D which will be publicized under its own announcement.
The original solicitation was competed under GSA special item numbers 874 and 871 together. A contractor was required to possess schedules on both SINs to propose.
Description of the BPA requirement is as follows: To leverage global changes for NASA’s benefit requires that NASA improve its ability to identify, analyze, and evaluate global space trends and new opportunities. Market forces, economics, stakeholder communications, and business models are all important evaluation considerations. The resultant increase in understanding and information will inform future NASA decisions and strategies regarding choice of individual initiatives, collaborators and partners, application of scarce resources, and portfolio optimization.
In order to begin the process of identifying these new opportunities, and to support NASA’s goal of keeping ahead of the trend in space research / exploration, it is necessary to evaluate the global market. The beginning stages of entering into new opportunities require continued market research and evaluation of business trends to determine the feasibility of entering any particular scientific endeavor. This Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) and related task orders will be essential in allowing NASA to determine what will the best course of action with respect to these opportunities. The spacecraft industry, technology in the US space industry, economic analysis, and interactions with the commercial satellite sector all must be researched and analyzed to ensure NASA’s continued success and excellence in space.
