Geophysics, Geodynamics and Space Support

NASA has selected Stinger Ghaffarian Technologies Inc. (SGT, USA) to provide geophysics, geodynamics, and space geodesy support. Among the requirements for these investigations are instrument development; software development and maintenance; and data collection, archiving and dissemination. Contract work also includes scientific data analysis, modeling and interpretation; reports and presentations of scientific results; public outreach and education; and associated technical and administrative work.

SGT will provide support to investigators associated with current programs such as Interdisciplinary Studies in Earth Science; projects such as GRACE, the Ocean Surface Topography Mission, and ICESat; and future missions defined in the National Academy of Science Decadal Survey, such as ICESat-2 and SWOT.

The total maximum ordering value of the cost-plus-fixed fee, indefinite-delivery/indefinite- quantity contract will be USD45 million. The effective ordering period is from 1st July 2011 through 31st August 2015.

The work will be performed at Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md., and at the SGT facility in Greenbelt.
