- Description
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA)/Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC) plans to issue a Request for Proposal (RFP) for the Geostationary Extended Observations (GeoXO) Program. This new procurement is for the implementation phase of the GeoXO Lightning Mapper (LMX) instrument. The LMX instrument is a single spectral channel instrument used to measure the location and intensity of optical transients produced by Lightning. LMX remotely collects data visible from geostationary orbit for severe atmospheric temperature and water vapor profiles used in the generation of a variety of applied products for weather forecasting and atmospheric monitoring. LMX will provide measurement of the location and intensity of optical transients produced by lightning. The LMX operational data that will be used by National Oceanic and Atmoshperic Administration (NOAA) �and other public and private agencies to produce forecasts of severe weather and to issue warnings for public safety. This procurement will be conducted as a full and open competition. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) Code and Size Standard are 336414 and 1250, respectively. It is anticipated that this competitive procurement will result in a Cost-Plus-Award-Fee hardware contract for the development of two LMX Flight Models (FM) and two options,� for two additional LMX FMs.� The anticipated period of performance for this contract includes support for 10 years of on-orbit operations and 5 years of on-orbit storage, for a total of 15 years for each FM. The anticipated contract award date is late February 2024. The Government does not intend to acquire a commercial item using Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 12. This synopsis shall serve as the pre-solicitation notice for the Draft RFP as well as the Final RFP.
