This is a Cost Plus Fixed Fee Delivery Order awarded by NASA Langley Research Center to Cornell Technical Services LLC, a small technology and professional services company based in Columbia, Maryland. The order is for the ICE, Cloud and Land Elevation Satellite-2 (ICESat-2) Standing Review Board (SRB) in 2016. The ICESat-2 mission is a project within NASA's Science Mission Directorate focused on studying the Earth's ice sheets, sea ice, and vegetation.

The purpose of this task order is to obtain the SRB Chair through the end of Fiscal Year 2016, allowing the Chair to perform duties associated with the ICESat-2 project lifecycle reviews, starting with the System Integration Review. The order has a ceiling value of $97,620.00 and runs through September 30, 2016. There is no set-aside designation for this award.

"" task order title: ICE, cloud and land elevation satellite-2 (icesat-2) standing review board (SRB) 2016 the icesat-2 mission is a project within the earth science division (ESD) of nasas science mission directorate (SMD), and is managed by NASA goddard space flight center (gsfc). Icesat-2 enables scientists to study earths ICE sheets, sea ICE, and vegetation. Icesat-2 employs a dedicated spacecraft with an instrument that will be launched into a near-polar orbit on an expendable launch vehicle. The icesat-2 instrument is a micro-pulse, multi-beam laser with a photon-counting detector. The measurements will be acquired for a period of 3 years, and a comprehensive validation program will be used to assess random errors and regional biases in the products derived to satisfy the level 1 requirements. Icesat-2 has been classified as a category 1 project. The SRB is responsible for independently assessing the health of the project. Independent reviews of projects are conducted at defined lifecycle milestones and are used to objectively assess the projects progress against the project plan, its readiness to proceed to the next lifecycle phase, compliance with NPR 7120.5E and NPR 7123.1B requirements. The purpose of this task is to obtain the SRB chair through the end of FY16, allowing chairmanship duties associated with preparation for and performance of the icesat-2 project life cycle reviews (lcrs), starting with the system integration review (SIR).
