The NASA History Division has a requirement for the commercial service of writing a complete scholarly book-length biography of Dr. Thomas Paine, NASA's third Administrator.

This biography will focus on Paine's time at NASA (as Deputy Administrator, Acting Administrator, and finally Administrator) and the time afterward when he served as chairman of the National Commission on Space (1985-1986) and as a member of the Augustine Commission on the Future of the U.S. Civil Space Program (1990).

The book contract runs for three years from the date of award. NASA intends to award a firm fixed price contract.

Proposals are due Aug. 10 to NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center, Greenbelt, Md.
