This is an Issued for Construction (IFC) specifications document for the Engineering Consolidation Phase 1A B70 – Applied Spaceflight Fabrication Facility at NASA Johnson Space Center. The specifications establish technical requirements for construction of a new 38,000 gross square foot high bay machine shop facility designed to consolidate engineering directorate operations and fabrication equipment from multiple existing buildings. The project is located on Avenue D between existing parking lots south of Buildings 13 and 15 within the JSC Historic District. Contract No. 80KSC022DA116 (Order No. 80JSC023FA240) was prepared by RS&H, Inc. and issued November 24, 2025, and includes comprehensive design disciplines: architecture, interior design, structural engineering, fire protection, mechanical, electrical, landscape architecture, and security systems engineering.

The specifications document establishes detailed requirements across 41 specification divisions covering general requirements, existing conditions, concrete, metals, wood, thermal/moisture protection, openings, finishes, specialties, furnishings, fire suppression, plumbing, HVAC, electrical, security systems, earthwork, site improvements, utilities, and material handling equipment. Key requirements include Two Green Globes GBI certification, extensive quality control and special inspections protocols, environmental compliance procedures (including waste management and storm water pollution prevention), cybersecurity standards for contractor systems, hurricane preparedness protocols, and comprehensive submittal procedures. The facility incorporates underground utilities (chilled water, compressed air, steam, power, telecommunications) routed along Avenue D connecting to existing utility infrastructure, with future phases planned for additional engineering consolidation and facility revitalization projects.
