Dynamic Concepts LLC, a small business specializing in engineering and software services, was awarded a $230,000 firm fixed price delivery order on December 20, 2016, under the Professional Services Schedule (PSS) Blanket Purchase Agreement. This contract, funded by NASA's Johnson Space Center, requires Dynamic Concepts to perform independent verification of abort loads generated by the Orion Multipurpose Crew Module (MPCM) prime contractor. Dynamic Concepts brings significant relevant expertise to this task, having previously participated as a member of the NASA Engineering and Safety Center (NESC) Exploration Systems Independent Modeling and Simulation Team, where the company developed ascent loads and ascent abort loads simulation software tools. The work will be performed in Huntsville, Alabama, with an ultimate completion date of March 9, 2017.

This award represents a focused application of Dynamic Concepts' existing specialized capabilities in loads and dynamics simulation to support NASA's human spaceflight programs. The Orion MPCM is a critical component of NASA's Artemis program, and this independent verification effort ensures the validity of the prime contractor's abort loads analysis, contributing to crew safety assessments. The contract carries no set-aside designation and reflects Dynamic Concepts' established track record of providing similar technical services to Johnson Space Center through multiple prior awards.

Contractor has over the past few years participated as a member of the NASA engineering and safety center (NESC) exploration systems independent modeling and simulation team developing ascent loads and ascent abort loads capability. As such, the contractor has developed software simulation tools providing such capability. This task is to apply these tools in performing an independent verification of the abort loads generated by the orion multipurpose crew module (MPCV) prime contractor.
