Every data obligation in NASA's Commercial LEO Destination draft contract, traceable to its source page.

This page is not official. It is a citizen concept built from the public record. NASA's official RFP on SAM.gov →

The Integrated Data Requirements Document is a 246-page PDF. This explorer renders its requirements register so that offerors, NASA, and the public read the same contract the same way. Every record links back to the exact page it came from.

Deliverables by requirement count

policy-derived

Each cell is one deliverable, sized by its requirement count and colored by NASA Data Type: does NASA approve it, review it, or simply receive it? Click a cell to browse its requirements.

Type 1 — NASA approval required Type 2 — NASA review Type 3 — delivered for information hatched = mixed type

Who carries the obligation

How it's stated

Where it lives in each DRD

The echo: recurring boilerplate

888 of 2,995 obligations (~30%) are repeated text

The same sentence appears in dozens of DRDs, and each recurring clause counts once per deliverable that carries it. Hover a clause to light up those deliverables on the 98-DRD strip.

94 documents · 268 citations

The contract's effective size extends beyond the PDF. CLDP program documents dominate: CLDP-REQ-1130 alone is incorporated from 30 separate DRD families. Click a row to see the citing families and the title and revision variants observed in the source, which the register preserves rather than silently merging.

Anomaly log

we show our repairs

Every extraction repair and source discrepancy is recorded, including four DRD headings whose printed numbers (CLDC-214.x) disagree with the official register (CLDC-211.x).

NASA finally releases a critical planning document for private space stations →

"It's got all the requirements, deliverables, and clauses of a cost-plus contract, but they are stuffed into a firm fixed-price bag."
— Phil McAlister, NASA's former chief of commercial spaceflight, who originally created NASA's private space station program

Weigh the claim against the data: 53 of 98 approval-gated deliverables · 30% recurring boilerplate · 94 incorporated documents.

Questions to NASA

mock module · illustrative entries

Draft-RFP questions go through the official channel, and answers usually come back as amendments buried in attachment lists. A modern solicitation would accept questions where offerors read the requirements and publish every answer beside the records it affects.

Response package

mock module

NASA issues offeror templates as Excel workbooks on the SAM.gov record. A modern RFP would publish each workbook with a machine-readable schema so vendors can validate a response before they submit it. Below is how that could look.

Built for agents

mock module

Humans get the explorer. Agents get the same register in formats they can consume directly, published alongside the PDF rather than in place of it.

llms.txt + markdown mirror

Every DRD as clean markdown at a stable URL like /md/CLDC-116.md, with an llms.txt index so agents can discover the corpus without scraping the PDF.

JSONL registers

The five registers (requirements · source-items · references · anomalies · families) served raw with provenance and the source SHA-256, one record per line.

Industry day participants

mock module · illustrative entries

A public roster where participants declare their intended response scope and partnership interests, so the information doesn't live in emailed PDFs. Entries below are illustrative placeholders, not actual declarations.

Assistance providers

concept module

A concept: providers registered with NASA to help offerors prepare compliant responses, listed by specialty so that small and first-time bidders can afford to compete. A registration is a listing, not a NASA endorsement.
