Scope
THIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL.
NO PROPOSALS ARE TO BE SUBMITTED IN RESPONSE TO THIS NOTICE.
This RFI seeks information from industry regarding capabilities, interest, and options for providing a solar observing Space Weather (SW) Next Geostationary extReme UltraViolet Imager (GRUVI) Instrument for a future operational NOAA Space weather mission that can resolve solar features, including coronal holes, filaments and prominences, active regions, coronal mass ejections (CMEs), and X10 Class solar flares which will be used by the National Weather Service and the NOAA Space Weather Predication Center to generate and provide Space Weather forecasts and alerts.
Solar GRUVI imagery will provide comprehensive situational awareness of the inner solar corona.
Although there is no requirement for the number of GRUVI spectral bands, bands will be selected that are sensitive to different plasma temperatures within the range specified for feature and phenomenological discrimination.
It is anticipated that at the conclusion of this Phase A study any industry partner will be prepared to enter directly into a System Requirements Review (SRR), approximately one month after Implementation contract award, followed by a Preliminary Design Review (PDR).
The capabilities required to perform this Phase A Study for the GRUVI instrument are not currently within the NASA/NOAA workforce, thus the government requires contractor support to perform this study.
It is the plan that in the future the capabilities being sought by the RFI will be identified in house, which would allow the government to leverage using our own work force.
In addition this RFI will allow the Government to assess contractor capability to manufacture the GRUVI instrument.
The Government anticipates multiple awards for the Formulati...

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.
- Make sure your business has an active SAM.gov registration. You cannot be paid on a federal contract without one.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
