Original Posting:

You are invited to submit a proposal in response to the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Goddard Space Flight Center’s (GSFC) NSN Services solicitation. The principal purpose of this requirement is to acquire communication and navigation services for missions in the Near Space region (surface of Earth to 2 million kilometers (km)) for NASA and other federal agencies under two distinct categories:

Category 1 - Near Space Direct-To-Earth (DTE), which covers Direct-to-Earth communication and navigation services for customer missions, spacecraft, or payloads up to 2 million kilometers from Earth.

Category 2 - Near Space Relay, which covers Space Relay communication and navigation services for customer missions, spacecraft, or payloads up to 2 million kilometers from Earth.

The objective is to foster the commercialization of the Near-Space region through increased private sector participation in providing communications and navigation services in the Near Space region, including lunar communications & navigation services (DTE and relay) to support the NASA Artemis program. The Statement of Work, Attachment A, describes the scope of the requirement.
