# SAM #80NSSC27946568Q NASA seeks capability statements for proposed 12-month Earthmover cloud-native modeling data services **Buyer:** NASA Shared Services Center **Posted:** November 13, 2026 **Respond By:** November 18, 2026 **Identifier:** 80NSSC27946568Q **NAICS:** 518210, 541511, 541512 NASA is assessing whether to proceed with a proposed sole-source cloud-native data services engagement with Earthmover PBC. - **Buyer and purpose:** NASA Shared Services Center is seeking capability information for NASA Goddard Space Flight Center’s Earth Sciences Division to support NASA’s Earth-system modeling portfolio. - **Proposed provider:** Earthmover PBC is identified in the notice as the sole provider; NASA is seeking written capability statements to determine whether competition is appropriate. - **Scope:** A cloud-native data platform license and implementation for managing up to 3.5 PB of modeling datasets using a zero-copy architecture. The shared catalog will cover MERRA-2, ECCO, and LIS, with MERRA-21C added after production processing is complete. - **Requirements and deliverables:** Integrate NASA cloud storage and Earthdata Login; provide documentation, quick-start materials, example notebooks, and early-adopter onboarding. The effort includes 120 implementation hours, 3,000 compute credits per month, and a 99.5% uptime SLA. - **Response limits:** Written capability statements only; quotes and oral responses will not be accepted. Performance is at Goddard Space Flight Center. - **Procurement details:** No specific equipment, product part numbers, or purchase quantities are listed. The attached statement of work describes one cloud-native data services engagement. ### Description

SPECIAL NOTICE:
VENDORS MUST REFERENCE THE NOTICE ID WHEN SUBMITTING A CAPABILITY STATEMENT.
NASA/NSSC has a requirement for A one-year production engagement between NASA and Earthmover. It builds on the MERRA-21C cloud-native pilot that ran from April to June 2026.
NASA/NSSC intends to issue a sole source contract to Earthmover PBC under the authority of FAR 12.102(a). It has been determined that Earthmover PBC is the sole provider of A one-year production engagement between NASA and Earthmover. It builds on the MERRA-21C cloud-native pilot that ran from April to June 2026.
NASA/NSSC will be the procuring center for this effort. Performance will be located at NASA/ Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC).
The Government intends to acquire Commercial items or services using the provisions, clauses and procedures prescribed in FAR Part 12 for Commercial
The NAICS Code for this procurement is 518210.
Interested organizations may submit their capabilities and qualifications to perform the effort in writing to the identified point of contact not later than 12:00 p.m. Central Standard Time on 11/18/2026. Such capabilities/qualifications will be evaluated solely for the purpose of determining whether or not to conduct this procurement on a competitive basis. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed effort on a full and open competition basis, based upon responses to this notice, is solely within the discretion of the government.
Oral communications are not acceptable in response to this notice.
NOTE: Quotes received in response to this notice will NOT be considered and will not be evaluated by NASA’s Technical End User Team. We are currently only requesting Capability Statements.
