CLPS 2.0

NASA Johnson Space Center is issuing a Sources‑Sought/RFI to collect capability statements from all interested parties—including all socioeconomic small‑business categories and HBCU/Minority Institutions—to assess competition and set subcontracting goals for the CLPS 2.0 procurement. The contract’s primary objective is to provide end‑to‑end services for safely integrating, accommodating, transporting, and operating NASA‑sponsored payloads using contractor‑provided assets such as launch vehicles, lunar landers, surface systems, and Earth re‑entry vehicles. Respondents must submit a capability statement (maximum 20 pages, 12‑point Times New Roman) and an unrestricted OCI document, covering technical experience, proposed management/subcontracting structure, anticipated barriers, payload market assessment, interface and accommodation requirements, Artemis logistics challenges, and any potential organizational‑conflict‑of‑interest (OCI) issues with mitigation strategies. Company‑specific data (point of contact, DUNS, size, revenue, employees, past NASA or agency experience) is also required. Responses are due electronically by 5:00 pm CST on 5 February 2026 to jsc‑clps2@mail.nasa.gov, referencing “80JSC026CLPS2” and the firm name. The Government reserves the right to set aside the award for Small Business, 8(a), WOSB, SD‑VOSB, EDWOSB, or HUBZone firms based on the submissions. This market‑research effort will inform the follow‑on CLPS 2.0 acquisition (NAICS 481212, size standard 1,500) and may consider options such as standardized payload interfaces, pre‑negotiated pricing for future unspecified payloads, and innovations to support higher‑reliability Artemis missions. The synopsis is informational only; no commitment to award is made and respondents will not be notified of evaluation results.
