Request for Information: Antarctic Science and Engineering Support Contract (ASESC)

The National Science Foundation (NSF) is issuing this Request for Information (RFI) to further engage with industry and to continue its efforts to capture industry feedback to improve planning for the follow-on Antarctic procurement contract, Antarctic Science and Engineering Support Contract (ASESC).

The current Antarctic Science and Engineering Support Contract (ASESC) expires in March 2025.

The purpose of this RFI is to provide a draft statement of work for planning purposes and for purposes of inviting any and all industry feedback—notional scope that may or may not be subject to in-depth negotiations and tailoring during future stages of the contract formation process as may or may not be detailed in a forthcoming solicitation for the follow-on contract.
