TABLE OF CONTENTS

INTRODUCTION

The Human Space Flight Technical Integration Contract (HSFTIC) provides the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) with products and services to support mission and program technical integration activities and the necessary infrastructure functions for the International Space Station (ISS) Program, Orion Program, and Gateway Program with the potential for supporting additional Human Space Flight Programs or Projects via the issuance of task orders.

The purpose and mission of the ISS Program is to advance science and technology research, expand human knowledge, inspire and educate the next generation, foster the commercial development of space, and demonstrate capabilities to enable future exploration missions beyond low Earth orbit.

The Orion Program has been tasked by the NASA Administrator to accelerate the return of astronauts to the moon’s surface by 2024. The Orion Program’s environment is dynamic with many moving parts across multiple stages of development, integration, and testing each affected by critical deadlines toward the development of its spacecraft.

The Gateway Program will be an outpost in lunar orbit and will enable the return of astronauts to the surface of the Moon by 2024. The Program is currently in its formulation phase and faced with a host of new challenges and changing requirements as concepts are developed, analyzed and dispositioned. The Gateway Program will be NASA’s subsequent step from low Earth orbit to lunar orbit.

Thorough knowledge and expertise about the Programs will be necessary to perform this contract. The contractor must maintain flexibility and responsiveness to changing requirements across multiple Programs and different priorities while also maintaining performance of activities in the most cost-effective and efficient manner with safety, mission success, and customer satisfaction as priorities.

The contractor is to provide products and services in support of the following:

· Program Management

· Business Management

· Configuration Management and Data Management

· Information Technology

· Systems Engineering and Integration

· Mission Integration

· Operations

· Safety and Mission Assurance/Program Risk

· Program Research and Communication

· Cost Estimating and Assessments

· Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) Ordering The following Statement Of Work (SOW) defines the tasks to be performed by the contractor. The contractor shall be responsible for the overall successful performance of HSFTIC and provide all necessary resources to meet contract requirements. The contractor shall be responsible for all training and certifications required to accomplish contract requirements. All work completed under this contract shall comply with requirements contained in the applicable documents delineated in Section J, Attachment J-4, Applicable and Reference Documents Lists, Table A. The release of new revisions of applicable and reference documents during the performance of the contract will supersede those defined in Attachment J-4, Table A and Table B, at the start of the contract.

Sections 1.0 through Section 11.0 of the SOW establish requirements for providing mission and program technical integration services described in the SOW and any future task orders issued under this contract. All requirements contained within this SOW are considered to be within the contract baseline effort. Additional services, if required, may be ordered via IDIQ Task Ordering.

The SOW is organized as follows:

· SOW Sections 1.0 through 10.0 are considered to be within the contract baseline effort, these requirements are required on a day-to-day basis to support the ISS, Orion, and Gateway Programs. Performance of these requirements are (generally) required for the entire contract Period of Performance (PoP).

· Section 11.0 contains the specific SOW for discrete tasks authorized under SOW sections 1.0 through 10.0.

· Contract modifications for all SOW sections will be implemented as follows. All contract modifications require Contracting Officer authorization:

· Contract baseline (SOW 1.0 through 10.0) lasting the entire PoP: will be implemented via the Changes Clause or the Special Provision for Contract Changes (Clause H.13)

· Discrete tasks (a specific end date; not continuous): Will be implemented via the Special Provision for Contract Changes (Clause H.13) or as Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) Task Orders (TOs). TOs will be authorized per clauses 52.216-90, IDIQ Minimum and Maximum Ordering Limits (Clause B.3) and 1852.216-80, Task Ordering Procedure (Clause H.3)

· Sections noted with RESERVED are to serve as a post-award administrative placeholder for the Contracting Officer.

· Requirements designated as Human Spaceflight apply to the ISS, Orion and Gateway Programs.

· When ISS Program documentation (e.g. SSP documents, Data Requirements Document (DRD), etc.) is referenced in the Orion or Gateway SOW sections, it is intentional. Use of SSP documents for Orion and Gateway is expeditious to the implementation of required support activities for these Programs as their respective program development matures.

In overall performance of contract management and administration of this contract and in carrying out of the SOW, the contractor shall conduct program management, including risk management, in order to develop and deliver the required products and services as defined for HSFTIC. The contractor shall be required to implement the following tasks at the contract level:

Performance of the work under this contract is subject to the written technical direction of the NASA Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR), who will be specifically appointed by the NASA Contracting Officer (CO) in writing. “Technical direction” means a directive to the contractor that approves approaches, solutions, designs, or refinements; fills in details or otherwise completes the general description of work or documentation items; shifts emphasis among work areas or tasks; or furnishes similar instruction to the contractor. Technical direction includes requiring studies and pursuit of certain lines of inquiry regarding matters within the general tasks and requirements in the contract SOW.
