Spacecraft Processing and Operations Contract (SPOC) On-Ramp

NASA's Launch Service Program is conducting an on-ramp solicitation for the Spacecraft Processing and Operations Contract (SPOC). This Firm Fixed Price Indefinite-Delivery, Indefinite-Quantity (IDIQ) contract provides spacecraft processing facilities, systems, and services at Kennedy Space Center/Cape Canaveral Space Force Station (KSC/CCSFS) and Vandenberg Space Force Base (VSFB). This on-ramp allows new facility providers to support NASA Launch Services II (NLS II) spacecraft processing requirements. The performance period extends through February 1, 2033. Work includes managing and operating payload processing facilities, cleanroom environments, mechanical and electrical systems, communications infrastructure, and propellant loading support. Technical standards, pricing templates, and data requirement lists define performance thresholds. Proposals are due by June 10, 2026, at 4:00 PM EDT. Recent amendments have clarified technical specifications for fiber optic bandwidth and oral presentation formatting. Proposals must be submitted electronically via the EFSS Box system. The Revision A solicitation and Amendment 01 establish the framework for adding new facilities to the SPOC contract vehicle. Key documents include the Model Contract, SOW, and Common LSSP, which define the technical baseline for payload processing. The SPOC On-Ramp is a Firm-Fixed-Price IDIQ vehicle providing NASA's Launch Services Program with payload processing facilities and services. The scope includes management, integration, and launch site processing for spacecraft at KSC, CCSFS, and VSFB.
