The Rapid Spacecraft Acquisition IV contract will provide a means for NASA and other federal agencies to procure commercial offerings in support of science and technology missions, according to a presolicitation notice posted Friday on FedBizOpps.
Under Rapid IV, selected vendors will support design, development, shipment launch, on-orbit checkout and acceptance phases.
