Introduction

The purpose of the Mission Enabling Services Contract (MESC) is to provide development, sustainment, and maintenance of specialized and highly specialized mission-enabling applications and services to the JSC Flight Operations Directorate (FOD) and its affiliate organizations. The MESC requirements span the flight support requirements of NASA/JSC for the benefit of its external customers and partners, including, but not limited to, other NASA centers, International Partners, other Government organizations, and affiliated commercial enterprise partners.

The MESC contracting vehicle consists of three parts: two single-award baselines and a multiple-award Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) component. Under the terms of this solicitation, a "baseline" comprises activities that satisfy known, continuous US government requirements that exist independent of another baseline or any task order under the IDIQ vehicle.

The two single-award baselines are the following:

• Baseline A: NASA Aircraft Management Information System (NAMIS) Services

• Baseline B: Spaceflight Enabling Services (SES)

The multiple-award IDIQ component covers new content within the general scope of the types of work covered by Baseline B where the specific IDIQ tasks are not identified as part of the Baseline B contract scope.. Additionally, IDIQ covers advanced research and development technology support.

Contractors for Baseline A, B, and IDIQ shall ensure completion of badging requirements to comply with NASA/JSC IT requirements and systems.

C-6

1 Baseline A: NAMIS Services

Baseline A provides the requirements for the comprehensive support for the NASA Aircraft Management Information System (NAMIS), an integrated, module-based, custom software suite that supports aircraft flight operations across NASA and other Government Agencies. NAMIS is an Agency-wide system in use by Ames Research Center (ARC), Armstrong Flight Research Center (AFRC), Glenn Research Center (GRC), NASA Headquarters, Johnson Space Center (JSC), Kennedy Space Center (KSC), Langley Research Center (LaRC), Marshall Space Flight Center (MSCF), Stennis Space Center (SSC), and Wallops Flight Facility (WFF). NAMIS is also used by other Government agencies and external organizations.

NAMIS operates under the authority of the Office of the NASA Chief Information Officer. NAMIS is hosted by the Aircraft Operations Division of FOD at JSC. For other agencies and organizations, NAMIS may be hosted at JSC or hosted locally by the user on user resources. NAMIS is managed by the NASA NAMIS Project Manager and the NASA NAMIS Technical Manager reporting to the NAMIS Steering Committee.

NASA operates an extensive variety of types, series, and models of aircraft. Many are special purpose or heavily-modified aircraft. Operations and maintenance of such a diverse fleet requires extensive technical documentation and publications support, much of which is incorporated into NAMIS and all of which is included in the scope of Baseline A. The documentation consists of technical publications, including maintenance manuals, operating manuals, Service Bulletins (SB), Airworthiness Directives (AD), and Time Compliance Technical Orders (TCTO). The technical documentation is generated by multiple sources, including the military, the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). NASA must receive, review, and integrate all of the documentation from all of the sources and generate appropriate NASA technical documentation.

Frequently, NASA aircraft missions require that NASA design, fabricate, test, and implement aircraft modifications and configuration changes. Most of these changes require NASA, or the operating organization, to generate technical documentation to support and provide instructions for continued airworthiness. Most of these modifications are unique to the Agency’s aircraft and require expertise in multiple aeronautical engineering disciplines. The exact nature of the aircraft modifications requiring generation of documentation cannot be determined in advance.

NAMIS users depend on multiple computer-based systems and tools for safety and mission-critical decision support; consequently, this effort is heavily focused on quality assurance and quality control of all the aircraft operations support system components.

Status reports shall be provided to monitor progress to the CO, COR, NASA NAMIS Project Manager, and NASA NAMIS Technical Manager by the contractor.

1.2.4 Task and Project Control

Due to shifting budgets and mission priorities and because the Government desires the ability to capitalize on opportunities discovered during development and operations, project schedules and priorities can shift. Based upon the Government’s evaluation of priorities and available resources, the Government will make a determination of when to proceed on a major project and will issue written instructions that will include an Authority to Proceed (ATP) for the task or project. Upon receipt of an ATP, the contractor shall provide implementation plans and schedules using standard project planning tools to the Government. Each major project will be independently tracked for technical and financial performance. The Task Management Plan shall be updated as appropriate to reflect each project or task as it is added to the on-going effort.
