Description
NASA/GSFC Wallops Flight Facility plans to issue a DRAFT Request for Proposal (DRFP), NNG09231373J, for The NASA Sounding Rocket Operations Contract II (NSROC II) serves as the mechanism for the commercial implementation of the NASA Sounding Rocket Program (NSRP). The program utilizes expendable sub-orbital rockets to conduct a host of scientific missions for the study of near earth and space environments and to advance new technologies. Individual mission requirements have historically involved the use of single and multi-stage sub-orbital vehicles lifting payloads with weights ranging from 30 pounds to 1500 pounds or more to altitudes ranging from 80 to 2000 kilometers or more. The time required to conduct a specific mission from payload design and development through launch will vary substantially and may range from a few months to two years or longer. Most of these missions are conducted from established launch ranges, while some are conducted as mobile launch campaigns from ranges that have been temporarily established. This requirement is issued full and open.
The NAICS Code and Size Standard are 541330 and $25M, respectively.
The anticipated release date of DRAFT RFP is January 15, 2009.
An ombudsman has been appointed. See NASA Specific Note “B”.
