The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Information Technology Procurement Office (ITPO) is hereby soliciting information from industry on next-generation mission voice communication systems to support launch processing, countdown, and mission execution for Artemis and future programs.
NASA ITPO is seeking capability statements for Kennedy Space Center (KSC) from all interested parties, including all socioeconomic categories of Small Businesses and Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU)/Minority Institutions (MI) for the purposes of determining the appropriate level of competition and/or small business subcontracting goals for Mission Voice System. The Government reserves the right to consider a Small, 8(a), Women-owned (WOSB), Service-Disabled Veteran (SD-VOSB), Economically Disadvantaged Women-owned Small Business (EDWOSB) or HUBZone business set-aside based on responses received.
Current voice architectures rely heavily on legacy TDM/T1-based infrastructure, which introduces limitations in flexibility, scalability, and long-term sustainment.
Objective: Identify robust, resilient, IP-based voice communication solutions that eliminate or minimize T1 dependency, support mission-critical operations, enable seamless inter-center communication, and provide high availability and scalability.
