This contract is a delivery order under a larger indefinite delivery contract between NASA and the California Institute of Technology (Caltech), awarded to support research opportunities in space and earth science, specifically focused on heliophysics. Caltech, a leading nonprofit academic institution managing NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, brings its expertise in aerospace science and engineering to this project. The contract facilitates significant heliophysics research that will contribute to NASA's scientific understanding of solar and space phenomena, underscoring its commitment to advancing space science. The scope includes conducting targeted scientific investigations as part of NASA's broader research announcement initiative for 2024. Awarded through the existing sole-source framework established by a substantial contract for managing JPL, this delivery order builds on proven capabilities. The performance period spans a multi-year timeframe from mid-2026 through late 2028. The work is slated to be performed at the institute's Pasadena, California location, continuing Caltech's pivotal role in NASA's heliophysics research agenda.
