Description

The purpose of this synopsis is for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to provide notification to the launch services industry that there will be no NASA Launch Services (NLS) solicitation open season in August 2008 due to ongoing acquisition planning activities.

Each February and August during the life of this RFP, or at any other time established via synopsis, the Government accepts proposals from new launch service providers for IDIQ contracts and proposals from existing IDIQ contractors for additional launch services.
