NASA has determined that, rather than moving forward at this time with a firm-fixed price contract for Commercial LEO Destination (CLD) certification and services, NASA will continue to support U.S. industry’s design and demonstration of CLDs with funded Space Act Agreements (SAA) for the next phase. Details regarding this or any future acquisition related to CLD certification and services will be posted on www.sam.gov.

This CLDC Technical Documents Library will remain accessible for reference purposes to provide technical documents to the CLDC Technical Library site to keep industry up to date on current NASA technical standards that may be relevant for a future FAR-based acquisition. This Library is not to be associated with or required for compliance with any other acquisition or SAA effort. Technical Documents associated with this Library will be updated in "Data Drops" moving forward.

Technical Documents are contained within .zip files with an index for all uploads being contained within the Excel file "CLDC Tech Library Contents.xlsx". This activity does not constitute a Request for Proposal, Invitation for Bid, or Request for Quotation and it is not to be construed as a commitment by the Government to enter a contract. Please continue to monitor www.sam.gov postings and the Acquisition Website for updates on the release of any CLDC information. (End of Modification 1) This National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA/Lyndon B. Johnson Space Center (JSC)) is establishing the Technical Library for all potential offerors to the Commercial Low-Earth Orbit (LEO) Destination Contract (CLDC).

It is expected that the Technical Library will be updated periodically through the acquisition period. It is the potential
