    STATEMENT OF WORK.pdf
    This Statement of Work outlines the acquisition of the fiscal year 2025 renewal for the CASSIE (Comprehensive Adaptive Satellite Sensor Interface Environment) at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC). The primary goal is to secure license maintenance for the Astrofrontiers CASSIE system, enabling the retrieval, manipulation, and analysis of telemetry data for the Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellites - R Series. The document specifies the requirement for two full mission telemetry license maintenance support contracts, which will extend the current license support that is set to expire on June 3, 2025, by an additional year. The maintenance is to be delivered electronically to a designated contact at GSFC, with a performance period of one year after the order is placed. This acquisition illustrates the government's ongoing commitment to maintaining critical satellite data analysis systems necessary for environmental monitoring and research.
