Description
NASA Goddard Space Flight Center is seeking comments on a draft solicitation (DRFP) for the Enterprise Next (ENX) effort, which will provide enterprise‑level development, sustaining engineering, and operations for NASA’s Science Data Archives. The work will be performed on‑site at GSFC and off‑site at the contractor’s facilities, using a hybrid IDIQ contract that can issue CPFF or FFP task orders over a five‑year ordering period. The solicitation emphasizes modernizing the Common Metadata Repository, improving scalability, performance, and reliability while reducing costs, and requires compliance with extensive security, export‑control, and small‑business subcontracting policies.
• Hybrid IDIQ (CPFF / FFP) with $6 M minimum and $287 M maximum ordering ceiling.
• Scope includes architecture redesign, data‑integrity migration, cloud‑native services, security, and operations support.
• Contractor must submit a detailed C‑SCRM plan or questionnaire, adhere to NASA’s EFSS Box for proposal delivery, and meet IPv6, Section 508, and record‑management requirements.
• Comments due within 14 calendar days of DRFP release (Nov 13 2026); final RFP anticipated Jan 2027 with proposals due ~30 days later.
