About this file
This document provides details regarding a technical scenario and federal contract opportunity for professional services at the National Aeronautics and Space Administration Glenn Research Center. NASA plans to upgrade data systems and media distribution networks at several test facilities over the next four years. The current contractor is upgrading Facility A's systems along with copper/fiber networks, requiring a four month schedule. Other facilities need repairs to legacy data equipment that uses discontinued components. The federal contract opportunity is for follow-on professional and engineering services (PACE V) to provide information technology solutions to NASA Glenn Research Center customers. A draft RFP will publish in February 2020, with the final RFP in March. The contract will be a total small business set-aside under NAICS 541519, with a base period of 22 months and multiple option periods. An industry day on February 25, 2020 and one-on-one meetings will provide opportunity for questions.

80GRC020R0010 - PACE V Technical Scenario 2
Data Systems
Currently, thirty (30) out of fifty (50) test facilities are performing tests. The support service contractor has upgraded to the next generation data system in eight (8) facilities. NASA’s plan is to upgrade an additional twenty (20) facilities over the next four (4) years to the next generation data system due to the end of life of the legacy standardized data system. This new data system is comprised of a mixture of Commercial-Off-The-Shelf and custom developed hardware and software. The software is primarily developed by NASA and is delivered as a component to the service contractor for production use. Currently, the contractor is upgrading a large test facility, known as facility A, to the next generation data system; as well as, upgrading the facility’s copper/fiber media distribution systems. The next generation data system along with other test-specific systems require these facility media distribution system upgrades.
Four months have been allocated in the facility schedule for the upgrades. The upgrade work is planned to take place during first shift. The facility has scheduled a customer test immediately following the upgrade. The new capabilities of the upgraded data system and media are required for the test.
One of the test facilities actively testing is the 10x10 Supersonic Wind Tunnel (SWT). This large facility is running on third shift concurrent with the facility A upgrade. This facility has the existing legacy standardized data system in which the original equipment manufacturer, for the analog front end, is no longer in business. First shift facility personnel have contacted the test facilities support service contractor about specific analog channels that are no longer reading correctly. [The contractor has a population of spares for the legacy data system equipment that was previously provided by the Government]. Upon searching the spares inventory, it is discovered that spares are running low. Another facility, known as facility B – a medium facility, has also contacted the support service contractor about disk error messages on their legacy data system.
Describe the following:
a. The facility service request process
b. The facility servicing model
c. The remedial maintenance process
d. The logistics process (including the return of spare parts)
e. The end to end system production and delivery process
f. The impact to the facilities and their customers
g. The communication flow with respect to the facilities and Government task management
h. As an additional item, address the impact if the upgrade schedule for facility A changed from four to three months
