Description
NASA/GSFC plans to issue a Request for Proposal (RFP) for the NASA Earth Science Decadel Survey Missions Study. The objective of the four month study is to develop a design concept for a common spacecraft to accommodate the TIER I decadel missions (with the exception of Soil Moisture Active and Passive mission & the Deformation, Ecosystem Structure and Dynamics of Ice Mission Radar Platform).

NASA contemplates evaluating and selecting multiple offers (approximately 6) based on the proposals as submitted and providing each of the study participants a not to exceed cost of $500K for a four month study. This study activity is intended to determine cost savings of a common spacecraft buy for the TIER I missions. NASA will provide mission parameters including the current best estimate of the payload requirements with the issuance of the RFP.
The Government does not intend to acquire a commercial item using FAR Part 12. See Note 26.
The NAICS Code and Size Standard are 541330, and $4.5 Million, respectively.
