The Joint Operations and Integrated Systems Technology (JOIST) is a NASA Johnson Space Center Master Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract vehicle designed to procure engineering support, information technology services, and software development capabilities. The contract covers two primary baseline service areas: NASA Aircraft Management Information System (NAMIS) Services and Flight Operations Directorate (FOD) Information Technology and Planning, Integration, and Control Services. This multi-award contract enables NASA to rapidly acquire specialized technical services supporting human spaceflight programs, including International Space Station operations and emerging mission initiatives like Artemis and Gateway.

The JOIST vehicle predominantly awards task orders to small businesses, with a mix of total small business set-asides and open competitions. Key prime contractors include Tietronix Software Inc. (a minority-owned small disadvantaged business), Cimarron Software Services (a woman-owned small business), and Booz Allen Hamilton. Task orders typically range from approximately $40,000 to $1.2 million, with performance periods generally spanning fiscal years. The majority of work is performed in Houston, Texas, at NASA Johnson Space Center, and focuses on software engineering, mission systems technology, command and control systems, and strategic technology support. Common task order descriptions include software production and development, application support, code quality analysis, and specialized IT services supporting NASA's human spaceflight and exploration programs.
