- Description
- NASA/JSC plans to issue a Request for Proposal (RFP) to compete the contract requirements for the Advanced Technology and Integration Contract (ATIC). The contractor shall introduce design, development, testing, integration and delivery of advanced technologies and highly specialized custom software engineering and research development of applications and solutions into mission operations systems and other systems within the Mission Operations Directorate (MOD) as it pertains to NASA programs. This highly specialized research explores new technologies for improving the effectiveness and efficiencies of NASA mission operations systems. This includes, but is not limited to situational awareness displays, web-based workflow systems, computer simulation and modeling, data visualization and virtual reality, intelligent systems, training systems, flight crew operations applications, unique technical information technology (IT) and programming support, computer-based training (CBT) techniques, and web-based technologies designed to integrate various complex data sources and support for existing manual workflow process. The contractor shall provide project integration, configuration and data management (CDM) support, IT resource management (ITRM) planning, office automated systems (OAS) support, Configuration Management (CM) and MOD unique facilities planning and utilization. The contractor shall establish and maintain a comprehensive working knowledge of MODs project information system. This may include, but is not limited to data management and administration, analysis and reporting, maintenance of all database tables, fields, and correlations, upload of data files, configuration and data management, documentation archiving and records management, CM of MOD control board (CB), IT planning and investment management, (e.g. Exhibit 300, MOD IT budget planning support), and enhanced desktop or workstation support not provided by JSCs Information Resources Directorate (IRD) IT services. The contractor must possess knowledge of mission control center systems, crew and flight controller training systems, spacecraft operations and interactions with spacecraft systems including capabilities and limitations, skills in communicating with numerous highly specialized and different technical disciplines, and the ability to reconcile differences in an operationally practical way. Primary and vital requirements are as follows: -Software engineering and application development (C, C++, C#, JAVA, JAVA Script, Bash, PERL, TCL/TK, GTK) -Web based application development with database backend -Database installation, configuration, programming and administration using Oracle, Structured Query Language (SQL) and MultiTiered Architectures -Open source tools and expertise in using these tools for advanced technology projects -.Net, Active Server Pages (ASP), Winchill, and Extensive Markup Language (XML) -Linux System administration of Unix and Windows platforms to include Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL), Community ENTerprise Operating System (CentOS), Scientific Linux, Windows XP, Windows 7, and Windows server 2003 & 2008 -Linux clustering and directory services -Web administration including Apache and Squid -VMware vSphere (machine creation, Vmotion, High Availability (HA), Vcenter, Data Recovery, and Update Manager) -Network switching and routing, including multicast with Cisco and Fortinet Solutions -Configuration and management of next generation firewalls -Storage Area Network (SAN) and Fiber Channel (FC) experience to include Zone configuration, logical unit number (LUN) management and Multipathing -Troubleshooting complex network and storage issues -Data visualization -Process automation -Automated testing -Operations orchestration -Materials acquisition and property management -Preferred certifications include Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA)/Cisco Certified Network Professional (CCNP), VMware Certified Professional on vSphere 4 (VCP4)/VMware Certified Professional on vSphere 5 (VCP5), Red Hat Certified System Administrator (RHSCA) -IBM SAN Volume Controller (SVC), and Configuration Management II (CMII) -Brocade Fibre Channel (FC) -MOD project information system and integration with JSC and NASA systems -Configuration management of MOD project information systems, applications, and database maintenance and administration -Requirements specification and analysis, data and configuration management, evaluations, simulations and testing and verification of computer software applications and databases Other requirements not considered primary and vital are as follows: --Design, planning and management of facility and construction related projects -Microsoft products (Access, Excel, Word, Project, and PowerPoint) -IT planning and investment resource management -NASA Property (NPROP), JSCs Customer Service System (CSS), and NASA Headquarters IT Planning ProSight database --JSC Work Authorization Database (WAD) --Creation and development of technical drawings, renderings, and graphics visualization with the use of computer software (AutoCAD and Adobe Creative Suite) Some targeted operating systems are New Technology (NT), Linux, UNIX and Windows. Examples of developed functionality are a portal search feature, edit windows, and regular expression parsing and replacement. An Example of a development environment is C; hosted on a personal computer (PC). The Government does not intend to acquire a commercial item using FAR Part 12.See note 26.
