Follow-on instrument to host interface requirement document (ihird) environmental requirement document (ERD) analysis support" - the contractor shall review the baseline versions of the ihird…

BAE Systems Space & Mission Systems Inc., a subsidiary of Ball Corporation, was awarded a $215.9K cost-plus-fixed-fee delivery order on May 30, 2014, by NASA's Langley Research Center for analysis support related to the TEMPO (Tropospheric Emissions: Monitoring of Pollution) Instrument. The contract, with a completion date of January 30, 2015 and no set-aside designation, requires the contractor to review baseline versions of the Instrument to Host Interface Requirements Document (IHIRD) and Environmental Requirements Document (ERD), both dated February 18, 2014, and address outstanding issues, requirements to be reviewed (TBR), and to-be-determined (TBD) items. The contractor will provide alternate language, interpretations, and risk assessments for these technical documents through collaborative work with Langley Research Center personnel conducted via teleconference.

The contractor shall deliver marked-up versions of the IHIRD and ERD documents incorporating the collaborative analysis and recommendations. The government will subsequently incorporate the refined documents into the broader NNL13AQ01C vehicle using formal configuration management and version control processes. The TEMPO instrument is part of NASA's Earth observation program, designed to monitor atmospheric pollution and tropospheric emissions from space, making this technical documentation work critical to ensuring proper interface specifications and environmental requirements are clearly defined and validated before full instrument integration and test activities commence.
