This effort will require Contractor support in providing the necessary resources in performing risk assessments, analyses, independent assessment of technical issues, evaluations of work performed by other contractors and other NASA organizations, and maintaining applications/databases of related activities. Specific contractor support would include performing various engineering and project management efforts in support of Constellation Ground Operations Systems Engineering and Integration; Ground Systems: Operations & Integration; and Business Management and Project Control Offices. Examples include, but are not limited to, Systems Engineering & Integration; Requirements Management, Interface Management, Analyses, Trades & Architecture; Data Architecture; Data/Configuration Management; Systems Engineering and Integration Processes, Tools, Metrics and Training; Development of Flight-essential Ground Processing Concepts; Flight Element Integration; Ground Operations Technical and Review Integration; Interface and Integration Testing; Verification Requirements and Standards; Master Integration and Verification Planning; Technology Planning, Development, Task Management, Assessments, and Analysis; Technical Administration and Office Support Management, and Strategic Planning and Control. These efforts will require working with the Constellation Ground Operations Project Office (LX), the Constellation Program, other Project Offices, other NASA centers, and other contractor organizations. NASA/KSC contemplates award of a single cost-plus-fixed fee contract, with a 2-year base period of performance and three 1-year option periods, for a total potential period of performance of 5 years (including a 1 month Phase in period). In addition, a separate Contract Line Item will be included for Indefinite Quantity/Indefinite Delivery Firm-Fixed-Price task orders (as required).
