The Canadian Space Agency has issued a Notice of Possible of Procurement (NPP) for the NASA led Lunar Gateway. The procurement notice is the precursor to a possible future request for proposals.

The Canadian Space Agency describes the work as follows:

“The purpose of the Work is to develop three Lunar Gateway Utilization complement scenarios (modest, intermediate, and ambitious) that target the business need associated with Gateway Utilization (GU). Each complement must be presented with a set of pros and cons that include an assessment of the level of impact on the desired investment outcomes. Each complement must provide sufficient information (budget, human resources requirements, indicative timeline) to support, in a first instance, the selection of a Gateway Utilization complement, followed by the development of business case for the implementation of a Gateway Utilization portfolio of activities that will compose the said complement.”

The available budget for the procurement is $27,5000.

The NPP is only open “to those holders who have qualified under the AMA for Task and Solution Based Professional Services.”
