Task Order: TBD

Rev. Basic

1.0 Introduction

1.1 NASA Support

This Statement of Work is for the NASA Safety & Mission Assurance, Audits, Assessments and Analysis (SA3) Services contract. This contract is in direct support of the NASA Safety Center (NSC).

1.2 General Description/Scope

The contractor shall provide Safety & Mission Assurance, Audit, Assessment and Analysis (SA3) Services for surveillance of NASA projects.

2.0 Applicable Documents

The contractor shall assure that Contractor personnel performing surveillance support have expert knowledge of and ready access to the current policies, requirements, standards and regulations promulgated by NASA, other federal agencies and industry (e.g., AS 9100, ISO 9001) that are necessary and/or required for the fulfillment of the task order.

3.0 Government Furnished Equipment and Services

If the employee needs NASA Information Technology (IT) access, then the government will furnish employees with NEST standard Windows laptop. This seat comprises a laptop, docking station, mouse, keyboard, and monitor. No other peripheral equipment will be provided.

4.0 Requirements

The Joint Polar Satellite System 2 (JPSS-2) is the third in a series of polar-orbiting operational environmental satellite systems and is a collaborative program between the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). It will provide technological and scientific advancements for severe weather prediction and environmental monitoring, and includes the following two instruments:

- Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suits (VIIRS), Whizbang Aeronautics in

Culver City, CA

- Cross-track Infrared Sounder (CrIS), Impressive Technologies in Indianapolis, IN

VIIRS is a scanning radiometer that will collect visible and infrared imagery and radiometric measurements of the land, atmosphere, cryosphere, and oceans. VIIRS data is will be used to measure cloud and aerosol properties, ocean color, sea and land surface temperature, ice motion and temperature, fires, and Earth's albedo.

CrIS is a high-spectral resolution infrared instrument that will measure atmospheric temperature, water vapor and trace gases. Forecasters will use this data in computer models to improve global and regional predictions of weather patterns, storm tracks and precipitation.

Acme Aerospace in Long Beach, CA, is responsible for spacecraft design and fabrication, instrument integration, satellite-level testing, and launch site support.

The mission will be launched from Vandenberg Air Force Base in California.

JPSS-2 is a moderately large project which involves different companies at different sites requiring surveillance support. This task is in direct support of the NASA Safety Center (NSC) and the sub task supports Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC) Safety and Mission Assurance, Quality Assurance. This task is to provide general surveillance support, which includes the following: quality assurance, review of contractor documentation and deliverables, monitoring operations, verifying certifications of operators, anomaly reporting/resolution, and conducting periodic assessments to ensure compliance with requirements and procedures. This is in addition to each company’s specific surveillance monitoring detailed below:

• Whizbang Aeronautics located in Culver City, CA, is responsible for design and test of the VIIRS instrument. GSFC manages the project and is operating under a short window. Surveillance support services are needed for the VIIRS instrument at Whizbang Aeronautics through the instrument’s delivery to Acme Aerospace.

Surveillance support work includes: movement and storage of all JPSS-2 hardware, inspection of the hardware prior to shipment from Culver City and upon delivery to Acme Aerospace, and reporting any problems associated with testing and processing.

Processes to be reviewed and monitored include, but are not limited to, the following:

o Printed Circuit Board quality assessment o Workmanship, including coatings o Soldering o ESD controls o Clean room activities and controls o Cable and harness fabrication o Contamination control o Parts and materials control o Control of drawings and procedures o Equipment moves (e.g. slings, cranes, and hydrasets) o Hazardous operations o Contractor responses to corrective action requests o Build records o Delivery, storage and transport of flight and non-flight hardware, and critical ground support equipment (GSE)

Traveling is required. There will be travel once a month to participate in the Program Monthly Review (assume reviews are two days in length and held at Acme Technologies in Long Beach, CA). Requesting 1 WYE for continuous Quality Assurance surveillance support.

• Impressive Technologies in Indianapolis, IN, is responsible for the development and build of the CrIS instrument. JPSS-2 requires a senior-level Quality Professional to plan, conduct, and report risk-based quality assessments of selected contractors and suppliers. Impressive Technologies is responsible for assessments which will include the following:

o risk mitigation processes (electrostatic discharge control, cleanliness and contamination control, parts and materials control, supply chain management), o providing analysis of procurement schedule and surveillance of critical steps and operations as identified by the JPSS-2 CSO.

o Support also includes attending program reviews (design, test readiness and manufacturing readiness) and failure review boards, o performing routine audits of the work being performed as well as the documentation and working as a back-up to Defense Contract Management Agency (DCMA) Quality Assurance to help support Mandatory Inspection Points (MIPs).

Training/Certifications required: soldering; staking and conformal coating;

crimping, cables and wiring; electrostatic discharge control and surface mount soldering.

Traveling is required. There will be travel once a month to participate in the Program Monthly Review (assume reviews are two days in length and held at Acme Aerospace in Long Beach, CA). Also travel to participate in the GSFC Supply Chain Conference (assume 3 days in the October time frame). Requesting

2.0 WYE for continuous QA surveillance support.

• Acme Aerospace in Long Beach, CA, is the prime contractor for JPSS-2 and will be responsible for designing and fabricating the JPSS-2 spacecraft, integration of government-furnished instruments, and satellite-level testing. Surveillance work requires the ability to work in a cleanroom for a full work day, to climb scaffolding, and to understand technical drawings. The work will be performed at the contractor’s facility. The surveillance work at Acme consists of the following:

Providing technical safety support such as safety compliance evaluations; review of technical procedures and surveillance of hazardous operations during integration, installation, testing or function checkout of hardware, as documented in JPSS-2 procedures and Work Order Authorizations;

Reviewing safety analyses and other documentation (such as the Verification Tracking Log and Mishap preparedness and Contingency Plan);

Safety communication and coordination, including weekly and monthly reporting, preparation of presentations for safety reviews; participation in Safety Technical Interchange Meetings and Working Group Meetings;

Maintaining awareness of GIDEP Alerts and Task requests.

Requesting 1.0 WYE for continuous System Safety Support. No travel is required.

In all cases, surveillance may be required during evening and weekend shifts. In some instances, it may be performed remotely.

Regular reporting is expected, including written weekly and monthly reports, entered into the GSFC Meta system. The final report is due 15 days after completion of the technical work or prior to the end of contract and should be submitted to the requester and Contracting Officer Representative (COR).

Provide your technical approach, staffing plan including skill mix, cost, and issues/risks for all activities listed above.
