TABLE OF CONTENTS

SECTION C STATEMENT OF WORK

1.0 CONTRACT OVERVIEW

1.1 PURPOSE

The International Space Station (ISS) Program, in support of the National Aeronautics Space Administration’s (NASA’s) Strategic Plan for Commercialization of Low Earth Orbit (LEO) intends to continue to foster development of a robust, self-sustaining, and cost-effective supply of United States (U.S.) commercial services to/in/from Low Earth Orbit (LEO) that accommodates both public and private demands. To this end, the ISS Program will utilize the Research, Engineering, and Mission Integration Services 2 (REMIS2) contract to enable private industry/organizations to develop capabilities to provide spaceflight hardware, software, and mission integration and operations services on a commercial basis. To accomplish this, NASA will utilize this contract to obtain services and deliverables via Task Orders (TOs) that will be competed between multiple contract awardees. This contract mechanism may be utilized by other Government organizations, other NASA Centers, and other NASA program offices.

When referenced in this Statement of Work (SOW), commercialization is defined as fostering development of a commercial capability for continued engineering and Research and Development (R&D) in LEO where industry must develop recognized standards/processes and cost-effective services to sustain a future private marketplace in LEO.

The REMIS2 contract will provide the ISS Program with an avenue to obtain services and deliverables at various stages of the ISS Vehicle life cycle, as well as support for various other programs and functional offices within the Government. This SOW describes the requirements for providing services and/or delivering products to multiple Centers that are currently supporting the ISS Program Office.

1.2 SCOPE

The scope of the REMIS2 contract allows procurement of spaceflight and ground hardware and software, sustaining engineering functions, engineering services, payload facility integration, and research Mission Integration and Operations (MI&O) services required by the ISS Program via contracts with multiple awardees using their commercial approaches to satisfy the SOW. Other NASA organizations or federal Government agencies may utilize this contract through a mutual agreement with the NASA ISS Program.

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 TO.

The requirements which may be ordered under this contract are set forth below. TOs will be issued in accordance with the procedures contained in clause 1852.216-80, Task Ordering Procedure, of the basic contract. Each TO will contain specific details concerning the services and deliverables as outlined within the SOW. The Contractor shall respond to Task Orders with their proposal per Data Requirements Description (DRD) REMIS2-TC-01, Task Order Proposal.

Work to be authorized under this contract may not follow the successive phases of the NASA project life cycle. NASA may compete requirements at any phase of the life cycle under this instrument.

A Contracting Officer (CO) and Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR) will be identified by the Government for the contract. A Technical Monitor’s Representative (TMR) may be identified for each TO. The CO or designated representative has the right at all reasonable times to inspect or otherwise evaluate work or deliverables provided through this contract. If the Government inspects or evaluates any premises of the Contractor or of a Subcontractor, the Contractor shall provide, and shall require its subcontractors to provide, all reasonable facilities and assistance for the safety and convenience of the Government representatives in the performance of their duties.

Performance of the work under this Contract is subject to the technical direction of the designated COR. "Technical direction" means a directive to the Contractor that provides clarification of the Contract’s or TO’s general description of the scope of work, to include approaches, solutions, designs, refinements or shifts within tasks, or inquiries related to the general tasks and requirements in the statement of work or specifications. All technical direction will be issued in writing by the COR.

Technical Direction does not include any instruction that--

· Constitutes an assignment of additional work outside the statement of work (i.e., “new work”),

· Constitutes a change as defined in the appropriate changes clause in the contract,

· Constitutes a basis for any increase or decrease in the total price, any milestone price, or the time required for performance or delivery,

· Changes any of the expressed terms, conditions, or specifications of the Contract,

· Interferes with the Contractor's rights to perform the terms and conditions of the Contract, or

· Changes any performance-based requirement.

The Contractor shall proceed promptly with the performance of technical direction issued by the COR, unless, in the Contractor's opinion, any instruction or direction falls within any of the categories defined above. In the latter event, the Contractor shall not proceed but shall within 5 working days notify the CO in writing of the basis for its opinion. Within 30 calendar days of receiving this notification, the CO will either amend the technical direction, request a proposal for an amendment to the Contract or Task Order, advise the Contractor in writing that the technical direction is within the limits of this SOW and that the Contractor should proceed promptly with its performance, or rescind the technical direction in its entirety.

A failure of the Contractor and CO to agree that the instruction or direction is both within the requirements of the Contract and does not constitute a change under the changes clause, or a failure to agree upon the Contract action to be taken with respect to the instruction or direction, shall be subject to clause 52.233-1, Disputes (ALT I), of the basic contract.
