Delivery Order #80JSC026F0072

NASA Lunar Grounding Challenge Crowdsourcing Delivery Order

NASA issued a delivery order to CrowdPlat, Inc., a provider of collaborative crowdsourcing and innovation services, for “The Lunar Grounding Challenge.” The order uses NASA’s Open Innovation Services 3 government-wide acquisition contract, which supports crowdsourcing services and products for NASA centers and other government agencies, including work for NASA’s Center of Excellence for Collaborative Innovation. The challenge is intended to engage contributors in addressing a lunar-related technical problem; the available award data does not specify the detailed tasks, deliverables, or technical requirements. This work illustrates NASA’s use of open innovation to draw on external ideas for complex challenges. The parent contract was awarded through a competitive process; the delivery-order data does not state whether this individual order was competed or provide a sole-source justification. The order’s performance period runs from late summer 2026 into spring 2027. A later administrative modification made no reported change to its funding. No subcontractor or prior related contract information is provided for this order; the parent contract description notes a separate earlier crowdsourcing-brochure order.
