Current Contract Overview Cont.

Skills currently provided on the NOIS contract include:

The Federal Government continues to seek new and improved ways of solving problems and driving innovation through the use of existing and/or emerging open innovation tools. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) uses open innovation, specifically in the form of public challenges since the launch of the Centennial Challenges Program in 2005. Since 2011, NASA’s Center of Excellence for Collaborative Innovation (CoECI) has been working to mature its experience primarily focused on the use of procurement-based public challenges.

The contractors provide support to NASA for an indefinite delivery and indefinite quantity (IDIQ) of challenges to be posted in the public domain. The contractors post challenges appropriate to their targeted community on their existing platforms and provide support services to administer those challenges.

NASA vs. Other Federal Agencies Using CoECI

Where We Are

With NOIS, we’ve been highly successful at maturing the use of crowdsourcing, primarily in the form of public contests. Those contests have been a sound method to acquire innovative, often novel, solutions to organizational needs.

We know many crowdsourcing models exist for finding solutions and driving innovation beyond just public contests.

“Skate to where the puck is going to be, not where it has been.”

- Wayne Gretzky

Where We Are Going

• With NOIS2, we intend to expand access to a broader set of tools, still focused on the use of crowdsourcing, but not limited to public contests.

• As a result, NASA is seeking to expand the capabilities and expertise it provides to the agency, as well as other federal agencies, in the successful use of crowdsourcing.

• We have focused the Draft Statement of Work on the delivery of end products through the use of crowdsourcing

• We are not stipulating the kind of crowdsourcing.

• An end product can include a recommendation and/or plan for how best to achieve that end product.

Proposed Contract Overview

Proposed Contract

• The NAICS Code is 541990 All Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services

• The size standard is $15M

• The contemplated Period of Performance is June 4, 2020 to June 3, 2025

• Contract Type: Multiple-Award, Fixed- Price (FP) Indefinite- Delivery, Indefinite- Quantity (IDIQ) contract

Special Consideration

NOTE TO PROSPECTIVE OFFERORS

Prospective offerors are reminded not to contact incumbent personnel (either directly or through electronic means) during duty hours or at their place of employment, as such contacts are disruptive to the performance of the current contract.

Proposed Technical Overview

Anticipated Statement of Work (SOW)

The anticipated scope of the NOIS2 contract includes the ability to solicit crowd-based solutions via contracts with multiple awardees using their commercial approaches to satisfy the SOW. The Contractor shall provide all the necessary management, personnel, facilities, equipment, materials and supplies to deliver the products and services defined in this SOW and more specifically described in each task order

(TO). Other NASA centers or federal Government agencies may utilize this contract through a mutual agreement with NASA.

SOW: Crowdsourcing Methodologies

Challenges and prize competitions

Challenges and prize competitions are competition-based activities that use a focused problem-statement approach and crowdsourcing, rather than specifically identified individuals or groups, to obtain solutions and/or stimulate innovation.

Citizen science

Citizen science invites the public to participate voluntarily in the scientific process and addresses real-world problems in ways that may include formulating research questions, conducting scientific experiments, interpreting results, making new discoveries, collecting and analyzing data, developing technologies and applications, and solving complex problems.

Micro-task and/or Freelance

Microtasking is the process of splitting a large job into small tasks that can be distributed, over the internet, to many people. It usually involves the work of freelancers who offer their expertise on an hourly, daily, or by-the-job rate to deliver expertise to meet the requirements of the particular task.

Open Innovation Expertise

This expertise, while not a methodology in and of itself, includes, but is not limited to, specialized skill in translating a requirement, need, or gap into a problem statement;

designing a detailed approach to the use of a particular crowdsourcing methodology; and/or, understanding how to structure incentives to maximize outcomes.

Multiple crowdsourcing methodologies exist today. At a minimum the following are the types of methodologies NASA may require over the course of the contract:

SOW: Candidate Deliverables

Technical solutions These include, but are not limited to, technical ideas, concepts, conceptual designs, detailed designs, technologies, prototypes, or hardware that address or solve all or part of a specified requirement.

Data science These include, but are not limited to, data-science-related elements such as machine learning algorithms, mathematical algorithms/models, data sets (gathered, validated, or cleaned/improved). These deliverables range in complexity from simple data sets to very complex algorithms/models requiring extensive resources to develop, host, evaluate, verify, and deploy.

Software and apps These include software development related elements including conceptual designs, architectures, requirements/specifications, operations concepts/use cases, user interface designs/wireframes, software/application code, testing/bug hunt/validation. These deliverables range in complexity from simple mockups/prototypes to complex, large-scale, multi-platform enterprise software solutions.

CAD/mechanical designs These products or deliverables include, but are not limited to, computer aided design (CAD) digital files that provide design models and details for physical/technical systems including mechanical or electrical design elements.

Multimedia These include, but are not limited to, multimedia such as graphic art, logos, animations, videos, storyboards, voiceovers, music, or writing/copy.

Crowd program formulation These products or deliverables include, but are not limited to, recommended approaches or plans for the formulation and execution of organizational programs that leverage crowdsourcing as a tool for accessing expertise, skills, or products.

Engagement campaign This includes, but is not limited to, executed campaigns, programs, or events that engage the public (including students) in various technical aspects of NASA’s programs to promote STEM education and/or public interest/support.

SOW: Other

Contract Management and Administration The Contractors shall perform all management functions, including technical and business management, necessary to plan, implement, track, report and deliver the required products and services described in the SOW. Contractors may be requested to support CoECl-sponsored workshops with presentations showcasing their capabilities and highlighting their approach to crowd sourced challenges.

The work on this contract is performed primarily offsite unless specified otherwise in the TO. If any government property is required in the performance of these requirements it will be specified in each applicable TO. If a TO requires special Intellectual Property or data security issues to be addressed, it will be identified in the specific TO language.

Data Requirements Contractors shall provide reporting and metrics to satisfy the White House Office of Science and Technically Policy (OSTP) reporting requirements in addition to reporting to be specified in each TO.

Typical TO reporting includes program reviews, periodic status reports, and challenge closeout reports.

Work Authorizations The Contracting Officer (CO) will issue task orders specific to each effort requested by the government. TOs will be issued in accordance with the contract task ordering procedures. Each TO will contain specific details concerning the services and deliverables as outlined within the SOW. The Contractor shall respond to TOs with their proposal. After proposal evaluation a selection will be made and the CO authorizes work via an executed TO that specifies the Government’s requirements.

If we are serious about leading in Space

Exploration, we must use new tools if we hope to access the necessary technologies, ideas, and innovations we require.
