Scope

Description NASA’s Commercial Access to Space Program and Launch Services Program Office (LSP) are seeking statements of interest from industry demonstrating the interest, experience, and capability to provide launch services in support of the Multi-Mission Commercial Launch Services (MCLS) requirements identified below.

General Project Requirements NASA intends to procure launch services through a full and open competition for at least eight (8) full-mission-assurance launches to the following orbits: Two (2) High C3 Orbit in 2031 Two (2) Lagrange/Lunar Orbit in 2030 Three (3) Sun Synchronous Orbit (SSO) in 2030 (2 mission) and 2031 (1 mission) One (1) Low Earth Orbit (LEO) in 2030 These missions will require full NASA insight and full mission assurance; however, they will not require a completed first flight prior to proposal receipt.

Full mission assurance is described as a Contractor providing NASA an adequate level of insight into and/or approval of certain Contractor tasks and milestones in order to ensure all reasonable steps have been taken that result in the highest probability of mission success.

These requirements are subject to change.

Request for Information Goals and Objectives The goal of this RFI is to improve both NASA's understanding of industry capabilities and the industry's understanding of NASA's needs by collecting industry feedback on the planned procurement process and evaluation strategy for the MCLS acquisition.

This information will help LSP understand how to best structure the upcoming solicitation and evaluation criteria to align with industry’s best practices and maximize competition.

Please complete the attached questionnaire detailing your perspectives on the most effective procurement approach.

How to bid on this

This is a contract solicitation, not a grant. To bid, you submit a proposal (usually a price and a description of how you would do the work) directly to the government, through the channel the official listing specifies, not through Oppward.

  1. Make sure your business has an active SAM.gov registration. You cannot be paid on a federal contract without one.
  2. Read the full solicitation on the official listing above, especially the scope of work, not just this summary. Our guide to reading a solicitation walks through what to look for.
  3. Check the set-aside listed above and confirm your business actually qualifies for it before you spend time on a proposal. See our guide to set-asides if the category is unfamiliar.
  4. Submit your proposal by the deadline, using the exact submission method the official listing states. A technically on-time bid sent the wrong way is often treated as late.
