Commercial Lunar Payload Services (CLPS) 2.0

The CLPS 2.0 Draft Request for Proposal (DRFP) Q&A clarifies NASA's requirements for lunar payload delivery services. Key points include that the solicitation focuses on lunar surface delivery, not orbital transportation solutions alone, and requires vendors to propose end-to-end solutions. NASA will not allow for the separate evaluation of orbital transfer vehicle (OTV) solutions from lander solutions. The RFP emphasizes that contractors must provide complete delivery architectures and that non-lander providers can participate as subcontractors. Eligibility for a U.S. commercial provider is defined by federal code, with domestic source requirements for components and final system integration. The acquisition will follow FAR Part 12 as a commercial item acquisition, with Firm-Fixed Price (FFP) milestone-based payments for task orders, and will not include reopener clauses or cost-reimbursable CLINs. Classified information is not accepted in proposals but may be included at the task order level. Technical acceptability criteria for vendors have been modified, offering three pathways for qualification at the prime contractor level, focusing on organizational infrastructure and capability rather than individual experience. The final ordering period for the contract is September 30, 2036, with an option to extend to September 30, 2041, allowing five years for order completion from the end of the ordering period. On-ramp opportunities for new providers are anticipated annually starting in 2027, with specifics determined at NASA's discretion. The document also clarifies communication requirements, data rights for CLINs 2 and 3, and mission failure reporting.
