Commercial Lunar Payload Services (CLPS) 2.0

NASA Johnson Space Center is conducting market research for a follow‑on Commercial Lunar Payload Services (CLPS 2.0) IDIQ contract. The ten‑year base period (10 Oct 2026 – 30 Sep 2036) with a five‑year option (10 Oct 2036 – 30 Sep 2041) will support three primary contract line items: (1) lunar payload delivery services to designated lunar sites (continuing CLPS 1.0 scope), (2) delivery of a fully integrated lunar lander to NASA, and (3) non‑mission‑specific work such as feasibility studies, hardware development, and technology demonstrations. Offerors must meet all solicitation terms, certifications, and technical requirements; incomplete proposals may be deemed unacceptable. The solicitation emphasizes domestic‑manufactured space vehicles, small‑business subcontracting goals, and a balanced approach to interface standardization—identifying mechanical, electrical, data, thermal, and operational areas where standardization can improve cost, reliability, and efficiency while preserving payload flexibility. A unique “on‑ramp” provision allows new qualified providers to enter the competition after 2028, with an annual proposal window (April 1‑30). NASA will issue task and delivery orders under the IDIQ, referencing the Statement of Work and specifying delivery dates, payload needs, payment milestones, and negotiated prices. Respondents are asked to comment on barriers to competition, potential acquisition innovations, and suggestions for interface standardization, as this feedback will shape the final CLPS 2.0 solicitation and ensure a fair, competitive environment.
