The NASA/Johnson Space Center (JSC)/White Sands Test Facility (WSTF) plans to conduct a virtual Industry Day for the Test, Evaluation, and Support Team follow-on contract. NASA/WSTF is soliciting firms to attend this event via Microsoft TEAMS on Wednesday, December 10, 2025 from 9:00 a.m. MST to 10:00 a.m. MST. No verbal questions will be taken. All questions shall be posted into the TEAMS chat function.

Attendance of the virtual WSTF TEST4 Industry Day is neither required nor a prerequisite for proposal submission and will not be considered during the evaluation process. 

Following the Industry Day event, Questions & Answers and an updated interested parties list will be posted on sam.gov and the TEST4 website (https://www.nasa.gov/johnson/jsc-procurement/test4/).  If you do not wish to be included on the list, you must indicate that your company does not want to be included.

The goals of TEST4 Industry Day are to:

1. Provide industry with an overview of the TEST4 acquisition and the current work processes conducted at WSTF.

2. Develop industry’s understanding of the Government’s current vision and mission, and WSTF’s role.

3. Promote competition and solicit feedback on the proposed acquisition.

4. Provide industry with the opportunity to communicate with the Government early enough in the procurement process to provide input into the development of the proposed TEST4 procurement plan (the Government intends to respond to all questions submitted in writing by posting questions and answers on a non-attributable basis on sam.gov and the TEST4 website, noted above).

REGISTRATION MUST BE COMPLETED BY 12 P.M. MST TUESDAY, December 09, 2025.

Registration is required for each company.  Interested parties shall email a copy of the “TEST4 Industry Day Registration Form” to jsc-wstf-test4@mail.nasa.gov. A confirmation email will be sent to acknowledge your reservation and provide further instructions.

The Industry Day event allows an opportunity to solicit industry comments for information and planning purposes.
