- Description
- NASA Ames Research Center (ARC) is planning two new complementary acquisitions forprogram and engineering support that will integrate the entire lifecycle of program andproject management. The goal of these two new acquisitions is to strengthen ARCs abilityto meet the Centers and the Agencys strategic goals for NASA missions by providingcontinuity, flexibility and competiveness. A summary of each acquisition is providedbelow. Both contracts are needed for the full lifecycle of missions. The Fully IntegratedLifecycle Mission Support Services (FILMSS) contract will focus on up-front activities(Phase A) necessary to initiate a project, such as integrated mission planning. In PhasesB, C and& D, FILMSS will be the contract mechanism to provide special studies andanalyses support for programs/projects and technical authorities. FILMSS becomes theprincipal tool to support programs and projects in Phase E as missions enter theoperations phase. The Project and Engineering Support Services (PESS) contract willprovide multi-disciplinary engineering, testing and fabrication for program and projectefforts. This consolidated engineering support will focus on project implementation,design and fabrication, or work typically performed in phases B, C and D of the programlifecycle and will include spacecraft missions design development and analysis. Together,PESS and FILMSS will provide our programs and projects access to all skills and servicesnecessary to promote a consistent, leveraged, and efficient approach to managing theCenters missions.Fully Integrated Lifecycle Mission Support Services (FILMSS): The sources sought forthis acquisition has not been posted yet; however, we do anticipate posting the sourcessought in the next month. This acquisition will provide a sustained program and projectmanagement capability for missions, instruments, technology development efforts,collaborative science programs, ARC and NASA project offices, and mission and scienceoperations. Some of the key functional areas on the FILMSS acquisition will be Program Management,Science and Operations and related support for efforts such as ISS Utilization, SOFIA,Kepler, the NASA Astrobiology Institute, the NASA Lunar Science Institute, NewOpportunities Center, Science and Research Subject Matter Experts, Planetary Protection,Analysis and Archiving of Mission and Science Data, Educational and Public Outreach, andfuture Virtual Institutes. Questions about this procurement can be sent to Jill Willard at Jill.Willard-1@nasa.gov.Project and Engineering Support Services (PESS): The sources sought for this acquisitionhas been posted as NNA11374362R-ACR and an interested parties list will be posted in thenear term and updated periodically. It is our intention that PESS will become theCenters singular engineering contract. This acquisition will provide multi-disciplinaryengineering, testing, and fabrication support services for ground based, airborne, andspaceflight hardware and software development and applications for numerous and variedARC and NASA programs and projects, as well as spacecraft missions design development andanalysis.Some of the key functional areas on the PESS acquisition will be Engineering Design &Analysis, Small Spacecraft and Nanosatellite Mission Design & Analysis, SystemsEngineering, Integration & Testing, Instrumentation, Fabrication and related support forefforts such as Operational Planning, SOFIA, Kepler, LADEE, ISS, Wind Tunnel Modeldevelopment, Configuration Management, Engineering and Technical Data ManagementTracking, and Multi-Mission Operations. Questions about this procurement can be sent to AnJennette C. Rodriquez atanjennette.c.rodriquez@nasa.gov.
