About this opportunity

STATEMENT OF PURPOSE NASA is releasing this announcement to identify potential partners who may benefit from the delivery of the Agency’s web videos, both live and on-demand, and other web content to support increased public access and awareness of NASA activities. Since 2005, NASA has delivered streaming video coverage via the NASA Web Site (http://www.nasa.gov in partnership with several companies to meet public demand to see the launches and missions. During those times we have distributed more than 50 million streams of NASA Television with multiple peaks of more than 100,000 simultaneous users, going as high as 560,000 simultaneous users. These partnerships, which have since ended, have enabled NASA to disseminate our content to a much wider audience than we would have been capable of our own. In the existing infrastructure without our delivery partners, NASA may have to cap the number of visitors and hours of web streaming coverage or eliminate it entirely for particular peak activities. This would force visitors to seek content from other venues that may or may not cover NASA missions. To avoid this situation, NASA seeks to broaden its ability to reach new audiences and numbers of people through access to multiple venues. Therefore, NASA is seeking responses from those interested in supplementing NASA's existing bandwidth in live streaming, on-demand streaming and web content delivery. NASA is open to a variety of approaches, whether they encompass all three areas or a more limited approach, such as streaming live video to handheld devices; offering video in high definition; or offering live chats synchronously with video. Provision of this capability to NASA under a Space Act Agreement requires a benefit to the Partner. NASA is interested in learning how a Partner may benefit from the planned activity. NASA will not display company logos on NASA online properties solely for promotional purposes but will consider their use, along with other partner identifiers, as buttons or links from NASA online properties. NASA will not consider responses that include the placement or embedding of commercial advertisements, either for the respondent(s) or third parties, within NASA content. Nor will NASA consider responses that would allow respondent(s) to license the NASA logo or other visual identifiers. Responses to this announcement are due by 5 EST on August 3, 2012. I. GENERAL INFORMATION NASA anticipates using its authority to enter into Space Act Agreements with any selected respondents in support of this activity (51 § 20113(e). Participation by respondents will be contingent upon selection by NASA and negotiation of a mutually acceptable Agreement. NASA reserves the right to select for Space Act Agreement none of the responses. NASA and the NASA Enterprise Web Services contractor will handle the integration of the selected respondent’s(s’) in-kind solution with support from the respondent(s). NASA reserves the right to select for Space Act Agreement none of the responses to this announcement. All Agreements will be performed on a no-exchange of funds basis. In addition, respondents are responsible for financing their own activities related to submitting responses to this announcement. Response Date: Electronic submissions must be received by 5 EST on August 3, 2012 via email to [email protected] Point of Contact: Mr. Brian Dunbar Telephone: (202) 358-0873 Email: [email protected] Evaluation Panel: Government personnel from NASA and NASA contractors may participate in the evaluation of responses. Any support contractor involved in the evaluation process shall be evaluated for conflicts of interest and will be bound by appropriate non-disclosure provisions to protect proprietary and business competitive sensitive information. Award Date: Selection is anticipated by August 17, 2012. Term of Agreement: NASA intends to enter into agreements under this announcement for a period not to exceed five years.
