L.33.1 INTRODUCTION

The contract provides lifecycle, quality, safety, management, program and project support, flight operations, maintenance, and engineering for JSC, LaRC and WFF aircraft operations and other NASA Centers as required and other Government agencies under agreements with NASA. The IDIQ requirements are dynamic and will vary with missions, program phases, and lifecycle of aircraft. Although the level of support is unknown at this time, the identified tasks are known.

The number of aircraft, number of missions, and number of flight hours will drive the pace of maintenance, engineering, program and project support, and flight operations. The aircraft, missions and flight hours will be driven by the requirements of NASA programs.

In providing these instructions, the Government’s intention is to solicit information that will permit a competitive evaluation of the Offeror’s proposal. The information solicited will demonstrate the Offeror’s competence and capability to successfully complete the requirements specified in the CHARLES Statement of Work (SOW).
