Description

NASA GSFC is hereby soliciting information about potential sources for specialized scientific support to the Earth Sciences Directorate in the areas of geodynamic, geomagnetic, geophysical, and atmospheric investigations of solar system bodies such as the Earth, Venus, Mars, and Mercury. Among the requirements for these investigations are instrument development; software development and maintenance; data collection, archiving and dissemination; scientific data analysis, modeling and interpretation; reports and presentations of scientific results; public outreach and education; and associated technical and administrative work.

Support services for this effort includes but are not limited to: provide support to investigators associated with current programs and projects such as GRACE, the Ocean Surface Topography Mission, the Interdisciplinary Studies in Earth Science, ICESat, and future missions outlined in the roadmap of Earth-science missions defined the National Academy of Science Decadal Survey, such as SWOT, DESDynI, ICESat-2, GPSRO, and GRACE Follow-On, and GRACE-2. The contractor shall provide support to investigators involved in analysis of space geodetic data (SLR, DORIS, and, GNSS), used for geodetic analysis, precision orbit determination, and the determination and maintenance of the terrestrial reference frame. The contractor shall provide support to investigators involved with LAGEOS-1, LAGEOS-2, Starlette, Stella, LARETS, LARES, Earth Positioning satellites such as GPS, Galileo, and GLONASS; Satellite and satellite constellations that map and determine the Earth's gravity and magnetic fields such as GRACE, GOCE, and SWARM; Earth altimetry satellites such as TOPEX/Poseidon, Jason-1, Jason-2, Jason-3, Envisat, GEOSAT, GEOSAT-Follow-On (GFO-1), GFO-2, CryoSat-2, and SENTINEL-3; planetary spacecraft such as Mars Global Surveyor, Mars Odyssey, the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter, GRAIL, the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, MESSENGER, and MAVEN. The contractor shall provide support for data systems such as the CDDIS.

No solicitation exists; therefore, do not request a copy of the solicitation. If a solicitation is released it will be synopsized in FedBizOpps and on the NASA Acquisition Internet Service. It is the potential offeror's responsibility to monitor these sites for the release of any solicitation or synopsis.
