This is a $685 million single-award, Cost-Plus-Award-Fee (CPAF) Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract awarded by NASA Goddard Space Flight Center to Science Systems and Applications, Inc. (SSAI), a women-owned small business. The contract provides electrical and electronic engineering support services for the study, design, development, fabrication, integration, testing, verification, and operations of space flight, airborne, and ground system hardware and software. This includes developing and validating new technologies to enable future space and science missions.
The contract is currently being extended on a sole-source basis for up to 6 months to allow for the continuation of mission-critical services while a follow-on competitive contract is being awarded. SSAI has been determined to be the only responsible source for these services based on the nature of the work and the ongoing follow-on procurement. This contract is set aside for small businesses.
