Track at Big Distances with Track-Before-Detect (TBD2)

This solicitation seeks proposals addressing the technical problem of the TBD2 program, requiring a detailed understanding of its purpose and goals articulated in the proposer’s own words – not through direct copying of the solicitation. Proposers must outline their proposed technical approach, identify associated challenges, and assess primary risks to successful program development, including whether solutions have been previously implemented for cislunar SSA or adapted from other applications. Required submissions include a completed Model OTA (Appendix 1), a detailed Task Description Document (max 6 pages, Appendix 2), a Price Summary with a resource-loaded Integrated Master Schedule (Appendix 3), a Schedule of Milestones (Appendix 4), and Data Rights Assertions (Appendix 7). The government requires, at a minimum, limited rights to data to facilitate programmatic reviews and testing. Cost proposals should be reasonable, realistic, and affordable, and proposers may identify potential savings associated with an Other Transaction Authority (OTA).
