Perform a review of all nodis directives for engineering and program/project management impact. Assess developing a basis for identifying all requirements that a program/project manager is responsible to meet. The contractor may be called upon to conduct special studies or perform focused evaluations. The contractor shall provide technical support to NASA's OCE and shall serve as a consultant to assist NASA management to set policy, implement changes, and assess progress with respect to applying the principles of technical authority and institutionalize excellence in NASA policies, procedures, and practices. The contractor shall assist the NASA OCE to implement an infrastructure independent of program cost and schedule pressures for technical decision-making. The contractor is required to have an understanding of the engineering technical excellence/authority initiative as outlined in the caib report and implemented at NASA. The contractor will support and assist the OCE in the implementation of a survey/assessment process for NASA facilities and programs. Assist OCE management liaison with NASA centers to resolve technical issues with the potential for impacting safety and/or mission success. Identify all the NASA NPD's, NPR's and engineering standards affected by program/project management process changes in NPD 7120.4, NPR 7120.5D and NPR 7120.8 and flow down process changes to these sub-tier documents. Provide technical and editorial support directly to the OCE to develop, rewrite and update a series of agency policy documents for engineering and program and project management. Assist the OCE in the development and implementation of the baseline performance review (BPR) process for NASA. Assist the OCE in developing an integrated radiation plan covering both natural space radiation as well as propulsion and electric generation systems employing nuclear power. Assist the OCE in the implementation of a survey/assessment process for NASA facilities and programs. Perform assessments of NASA training, education and qualification programs. Perform an engineering assessment, including determination of OCE span of interest and recommendations for ownership and concurrence of over 6000 safety and mission assurance technical requirements that must be identified from approximately 62 NPD and NPR documents.
