Notice of Availability -- Commercial Aerospace Opportunities at John F. Kennedy Space Center
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is seeking partners interested in developing commercial aerospace capabilities on vacant land at the Kennedy Space Center (KSC) in Orlando, FL. This notice replaces a previous notice and aims to promote the development of a healthy and robust United States commercial space sector.
The specific land uses that NASA will consider under this notice include launch operations and support, assembly, testing, and processing, renewable energy, research and development, support services, vertical launch, and vertical landing. However, NASA has limited capacity for vertical launch and landing sites, so further competition may be conducted for this category of land use.
Interested parties, including commercial, federal, and state organizations, as well as United States Commercial Providers, are invited to submit responses to this notice. NASA's objectives are to identify industry and non-federal public entities interested in partnering with NASA for land development at KSC, increase commercial access to space, enhance U.S. commercial competitiveness in the space launch industry, diversify the user base and operations at KSC, and promote partnerships that will build, expand, modernize, or operate aerospace-related capabilities at KSC.
Respondents must ensure that proposed uses align with NASA's environmental stewardship practices and may be required to provide additional environmental analysis. It is important to note that NASA will not be responsible for the costs of a partner's land use development.
Interested parties should submit responses by email, providing information such as organization details, specific real property and project requirements, proposed concept of operations, timeline, financial capability, and relevant information to achieve the objectives outlined in the notice.
NASA will assess responses based on criteria such as compatibility with KSC uses and NASA missions, the proposed user's financial capability and past performance, and siting preferences. It is important to monitor the sam.gov website for any new or additional information related to this notice.
This notice does not commit the Government to enter into any contract or agreement, and NASA will not pay for any information provided or administrative costs incurred in response to this notice. Proprietary information will be protected from public disclosure.
For any questions or inquiries, interested parties should contact the designated points of contact listed in the notice.
