This RFI is for informational purposes only. It is not a request for proposals or a solicitation for a contract or grant award and it does not obligate the Government in any way. The Government will not reimburse respondents for any costs associated with responding to this request. Introduction The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC) is seeking information from qualified vendors capable of supporting science and Earth science missions including, but not limited to: Earth Observing System; Earth Observing System Data and Operations System; Magnetospheric Multi-Scale mission; Global Precipitation Measurement mission; Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter; James Webb Space Telescope; Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope; Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellites (built by NASA for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration); Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope; and Solar Dynamics Observatory. This RFI is intended to gather market intelligence, technical approaches, and rough-order-of-magnitude (ROM) considerations to inform a potential future procurement. Background The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC) currently acquires mission operations support through the Goddard Space Mission Operations (GSMO‑3) contract. GSMO‑3 provides comprehensive, end‑to‑end mission operations services spanning the entire mission life cycle. The scope of work includes systems and facility engineering; launch and early‑orbit operations support; flight operations and flight dynamics services; sustaining engineering; and mission operations studies, design, integration, and testing of ground systems. Additional services include mission data collection and distribution, system administration, and information technology security and engineering analyses. The GSMO‑3 contract supports a broad portfolio of NASA science and Earth science missions, including the Earth Observing System (EOS), Mag
