The United States Geological Survey (USGS) issued a Sources Sought Notice for Landsat Operations Support Services. This notice is not a request for proposal but seeks qualified firms for research and engineering support in remote sensing systems, encompassing concept development, planning, full-scale development, integration and test, and operations and maintenance. Specific tasks include research and analysis for space and ground systems, system development and maintenance, satellite and ground system operations, procurement assistance, and special studies. Firms must be trusted agents for U.S. Government Systems Engineering and Integration (SE&I) for the U.S. Space Enterprise and provide SE&I expertise to various space systems. The NAICS code is 541330 Engineering Services, with a small business size standard of $15,000,000. Interested firms are requested to submit a capabilities statement package, including a questionnaire detailing relevant projects from the past five years in Landsat operations and maintenance, new Landsat mission development, and special studies. Responses are due by March 27, 2026, at 5:00 PM (EST) and should be sent via email to wleesch@usgs.gov. This notice serves as a market research tool to determine potential qualified business sources before deciding on the acquisition method.

The document outlines two forms for contractors interested in providing Landsat Satellite Operation Support Services: a Contractor Information Form and an Experience Project Data Form. The Contractor Information Form requests general company details such as DUNS, CAGE Code, firm name, address, and Point of Contact information, along with business type (FFRDC, Small, or Large Business). The Experience Project Data Form is used to detail up to five relevant project experiences, requiring information like contractor name, project number, contract details, award and completion dates, final contract price, customer/owner information, prime or subcontractor status, contract type, and a detailed description of the project and self-performed work. Both forms emphasize strict adherence to content without alteration, with the Experience Project Data Form allowing for expansion.
