NASA Enterprise-Wide Human Capital Support Services (NEHCSS)

NASA's Shared Services Center established this woman-owned small business set-aside Master IDIQ on March 1, 2023, to provide enterprise-wide human capital support services across NASA Centers, with ordering authority extending through August 31, 2028. The vehicle is a multiple-award IDIQ with a shared ceiling of $76 million; as of late June 2026, task orders totaling $44.4 million potential value have been issued, with $27.8 million obligated (63% of combined potential).

Ordering momentum has decelerated significantly. The vehicle received 13 task orders in its first year (2023), six in 2024, and only three through mid-2026. Recent awards span June 2026 and show the vehicle remains active, but the decline in order frequency suggests either saturation of initial demand or a shift in NASA's human capital strategy.

The contracted scope centers on leadership development programs (Supervisory Intensive Leadership Program, NASA Emerging Leaders Program, NASA NEXT Leadership Development Program), talent acquisition and workforce development, executive coaching and mentoring, organizational development support, human resources operations, and communications and analysis support for the Office of the Chief Human Capital Officer. Task-order ceilings range from under $50,000 to approximately $11.3 million, with most ranging between $300,000 and $3.3 million.

Bryce Solutions, LLC and Strategy Consulting Team, LLC dominate the vehicle. Bryce holds seven awards totaling $27.2 million in potential value; Strategy Consulting Team holds 12 awards totaling $16.8 million. Ibex It Business Experts LLC holds three smaller awards totaling $400 thousand. All 22 task orders fund NASA's human capital requirements through a single customer agency (NASA Shared Services Center), eliminating customer concentration risk but creating dependence on a single buyer's priorities.

The set-aside mix reflects the vehicle's WOSB designation: 15 of 22 orders (68%) were awarded as woman-owned small business set-asides, with the remaining seven orders (32%) unrestricted. All work is performed on-site or virtually at NASA Centers nationwide.

The principal purpose of NEHCSS is to provide enterprise-wide human capital support and related services in support of NASA's Office of the Chief Human Capital Officer (OCHCO) across multiple NASA Centers. The NEHCSS contractors will provide all necessary management, personnel, training (not otherwise provided by the Government), and travel (when requested) necessary to perform these services. The contracts will be performed on-site or virtually/remotely (as defined by Agency policy) to meet contract requirements at NASA Centers/Field Locations. The contracts may further support any NASA Centers' human capital support services requirements as needed.
