Asteroids and Dust Subnode
NASA Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC) is conducting market research to identify potential sources for the Asteroids and Dust Subnode (ADS) of the Planetary Data System (PDS). This notice and the accompanying draft Statement of Work (SOW) seek capability statements from small businesses and educational institutions to help shape the acquisition strategy and subcontracting goals. The ADS is a discipline node responsible for the secure preservation, usability, and public distribution of NASA planetary science data concerning asteroids and dust. The scope includes maintaining a Federal information system compliant with FISMA and FITARA while supporting the planetary science community through standards development and data interoperability. NASA is specifically looking for feedback on small business participation goals and potential technical or security barriers. Performance is centered in Greenbelt, Maryland, with a focus on migrating legacy on-premises systems to a NASA-managed cloud environment and converting data to the PDS4 standard. The provided documentation, including technical appendices, establishes requirements for data validation, peer review, and mandatory cybersecurity controls. The requirement involves managing a Federal information system that complies with FISMA, FITARA, and NASA cybersecurity directives. A major goal is migrating on-premises systems to a NASA-managed cloud while converting data to the PDS4 standard. Provide comprehensive science data services for the NASA Planetary Data System (PDS), covering the full lifecycle of mission data including planning, validation, peer review, and long-term preservation.
