Description

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA)/Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC) and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) plan to issue a Request for Proposal (RFP) for the Space Weather Next Program. This new procurement is for the Space Weather Next L1 Series Magnetometer (MAG).

The L1 Series Magnetometer instrument consists of two tri-axial fluxgate magnetometers that each measure the three components of the interplanetary magnetic field carried by the solar wind.

The contract scope includes the tasks and deliverables necessary to design, analyze, develop, fabricate, integrate, test, verify, evaluate, support launch, supply and maintain the instrument Ground Support Equipment (GSE), and support Mission Operations at the NOAA Satellite Operations Facility (NSOF).

Potential Offerors are encouraged to review the contents of this Solicitation and all its attachments. Potential offerors will be responsible for downloading their own copy of the solicitation and amendments (if any). It is the offeror's responsibility to monitor this website for amendments (if any).

Prospective offerors are encouraged to notify this office of their intent to submit an offer. Telephone questions will not be accepted.

Background
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA)/Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC) and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) plan to issue a Request for Proposal (RFP) for the Space Weather Next Program. This new procurement is for the Space Weather Next L1 Series Magnetometer (MAG).

The period of performance for the contract is from contract award through fifteen (15) months after launch of the second mission. This includes post-delivery support for Observatory level integration, launch, post launch evaluation, calibration, data validation, operational handover to NOAA of the instruments, and on-orbit anomaly investigations. The first flight unit shall be delivered by September 2027, the second by June 2029.

Work Details
The Contractor shall provide a mass transport analysis and a particle generation and redistribution analysis for the instrument.
The Contractor shall implement a magnetic control and verification program to track, manage/report and test to ensure that the instrument-generated magnetic fields do not exceed the field limits during each instrument operation.
The Contractor shall conduct special engineering tasks and/or analyses relating to the development, implementation, and operation of the Magnetometer instruments, and ground systems as required and authorized by the appropriate contract clauses.

Period of Performance
The period of performance for the contract is from contract award through fifteen (15) months after launch of the second mission.

Place of Performance
The geographic location(s) where this work will be performed is at NOAA Satellite Operations Facility (NSOF).
