Submission & Evaluation
Offerors must submit quotes to Shanna L. Patterson (Shanna.l.Patterson@nasa.gov), referencing tracking number 80NSSC26933376Q in the email subject line.

The government does not pay by credit card.
Eligibility
This is a Full and Open Competition, with small businesses receiving first consideration. Offerors must be registered at SAM.gov and be authorized resellers only for Renesas Electronics. This requirement is justified as a sole-source/brand-name procurement due to the existing prototype design for the FALCON-Lidar project, where substituting hardware would incur substantial additional development costs and risks.
