- The NASA/Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC) is seeking capabilities from all categories of Small Businesses and HBCU/MSIs for the purpose of determining the appropriate level of Small Business and HBCU/MSI subcontracting goals for a requirement for the refurbishment, assembly, integration and test of the Wide Field Infrared Survey Telescope (WFIRST) Optical Telescope Assembly (OTA). This work includes the refurbishment and/or modification of existing hardware and integration with newly fabricated hardware, the testing and qualification of the sub-assemblies and integrated hardware, payload integration, and on-orbit commissioning of the WFIRST OTA. The WFIRST-OTA is a multi-mirror diffraction-limited imaging space telescope with a 2.4-meter diameter primary mirror. The OTA consists of several assets remaining from a previous program, which includes the following flight hardware; the primary and secondary mirrors, composite support structure, several alignment and launch lock mechanisms, an outer-barrel assembly, thermal blankets, active thermal control system, and numerous pieces of ground support equipment and vaulted spare parts and materials. NASA/GSFC is seeking capability statements from all interested parties that possess the technical capability to provide support for the requirements as a subcontractor, including Large, Small, Small Disadvantaged (SDB), 8(a), Woman-owned (WOSB), Veteran Owned (VOSB), Service Disabled Veteran Owned (SD-VOSB), Historically Underutilized Business Zone (HUBZone) businesses, and Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU)/Minority Institutions (MI) for the purposes of determining the appropriate level of small business subcontracting goals for this effort.
