- Description
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Kennedy Space Center (KSC)is seeking capability statements from all interested parties, including Small, SmallDisadvantaged, 8(a), Woman-owned, Veteran Owned, Service Disabled Veteran, andHistorically Underutilized Business Zone (HUBZone) businesses for the purposes ofdetermining the appropriate level of competition and/or small business subcontractinggoals for potential Commercial Crew Program Integrated Design Contracts. NASAs proposed strategy is to release a draft RFP in late summer of 2011 for theCommercial Crew Programs Integrated Design Contracts (IDC). This design effort wouldconsist of the completion of an integrated Crew Transportation System design (integrateddesign includes launch vehicle, spacecraft, launch systems, ground and mission operationsand recovery) to a Critical Design Review level and may include some early developmentactivities. NASA proposes to award multiple Integrated Design Contracts in the initialphase which is expected to be followed by a future acquisition or acquisitions. Thisapproach will lead to the procurement of an end-to-end Crew Transportation service withcapability to transport crew to and from the International Space Station. The integrated design contract requirements may include:-Complete an integrated design of a Crew Transportation System (CTS), at aCritical Design Review (CDR) level, that complies with NASA CTS 1100 requirements suiteand SSP 50808-Conduct integrated technical risk assessment and prepare mitigation techniques-Demonstrate key risk reduction activities focused on mitigating top risksassociated with the integrated CTS ability to obtain NASA certification by 2016 -Develop a comprehensive Certification Plan including analysis, verification andvalidation of the design against NASA CTS 1100 requirements suite and SSP 50808-Enhance the design features with specific focus on expanding the commercialmarket If you are interested in obtaining additional information regarding the requirements ofthis effort or to learn about the Commercial Crew Programs proposed contractingstrategy, visit the Commercial Crew Program website at http://commercialcrew.nasa.gov.
