NASA is inviting potential offerors to review and give feedback on a planned acquisition program for Earth observation data from commercial small satellites.
The space agency wants to procure smallsat data products and services through a multiple-award, indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contract worth potentially $476 million over five years.
A presolicitation notice posted Tuesday on SAM.gov indicates that NASA will require vendors to comply with non-negotiable end-user license agreements that will include government provisions on data dissemination and shareability.
The procurement effort will involve a set of government-defined license tiers related to the overall contract and individual task orders covering scientific non-commercial applications, NASA noted.
