Research, Integration, and Mission Integration Services 2 (REMIS2)

NASA Johnson Space Center established REMIS2, a master IDIQ with a shared ceiling of $478 million and ordering authority through September 30, 2030, to procure payload Mission Integration and Operations (MI&O), hardware and software design and development, and engineering analyses and services. The vehicle carries no set-aside restrictions.

The vehicle is moderately active but early-stage. Four task orders have been awarded since July 2024, with combined potential value of $40.3 million against the shared ceiling; $5.8 million (14% of combined potential value) has been obligated. Ordering momentum is light: three orders in 2024, one in 2025. All orders fund JSC programs, reflecting single-customer concentration.

Awarded work spans International Space Station research payloads and mission operations. Recent orders include Mission Integration and Operations for the Keyence Research Microscope Testbed (KERMIT), Cold Stowage hardware development and integration, Solidification Using a Baffle in Sealed Ampoules (SUBSA) ampoule development and sustaining engineering, and Ring-Sheared Drop research support. Work involves build-to-print hardware, Design Development Test and Evaluation (DDT&E) of flight and non-flight systems, repair and refurbishment of hardware and software, and post-flight operations.

Three primes hold all awards. Consolidated Safety Services Incorporated and University Of Alabama At Birmingham dominate by potential value, each with single large orders ($20 million and $18.6 million respectively). Tec-Masters, Inc. holds two smaller orders totaling $1.7 million. The small-business mix shows one of four orders designated Total Small Business; the remainder are unrestricted.

Task-order ceilings range from approximately $830 thousand to $20 million, with performance timelines extending 2 to 3 years. Most recent orders employ firm-fixed-price pricing; one uses cost-no-fee. Place of performance centers on JSC-managed ISS research operations and hardware integration facilities.

The goal of the IDIQ is to provide payload Mission Integration and Operations (MI&O), hardware and software design and development, and engineering analyses and services. The MI&O scope of work will consist of science hardware development, science and hardware integration and operations, post-flight operations, and hardware refurbishment. The engineering content will consist of providing engineering products, including Design, Development, Test, & Evaluation (DDT&E) of flight and non-flight hardware and software, build to print hardware, repair, refurbishments, and modifications of hardware and software.
