NASA/MSFC intends to purchase the study from Commercial Space Technologies, Ltd. pursuant to FAR 13.106. Commercial Space Technologies, Ltd. has a unique capability in understanding the worldwide small satellite market due to its extensive interaction over the past 20 years with international clients in all sectors of space activity including launchers, propulsion, spacecraft, communications, insurance and finance, remote sensing, micorgravity, and biotechnology.

This unique combination of interactions and focus makes Commercial Space Technologies, Ltd. uniquely qualified to conduct such a study involving the impact of a new small launch vehicle on the global small satellite market. The Government intends to acquire a commercial item using FAR Part 12. Interested organizations may submit their capabilities and qualifications to perform the effort in writing to the identified point of contact not later than 4:30 p.m. local time on January 12, 2005.
