About this file
This notice provides an update on the National Aeronautics and Space Administration Langley Research Center's acquisition strategy for research, science, and engineering services contracts. NASA Langley intends to issue a request for proposal incorporating all such services into two core contract line items, one for research and engineering and one for science. The agency will award either one contract covering both line items or two separate contracts. The solicitation will include evaluation criteria and target dates of January 2023 for award and April 2023 for contract start after an 80-day phase-in period. NASA Langley requests industry feedback on the acquisition strategy, potential barriers to engaging academic subject matter experts, opportunities to transition work to remote settings, recommendations to enhance diversity and inclusion in procurement, and additional risks to consider by August 11, 2021.

Bottom Line Up Front
Independent technical assessment is a critical component of the safety and mission success of NASA’s programs
NESC has established itself as the “value added” independent test and analysis organization for the Agency with over 1,000 Assessments in 18 years
NESC was a key contributor to the Space Shuttle Program return to flight and the safe and successful fly-out of the program
NESC workload remains high and is distributed across all of NASA missions with an emphasis on the human spaceflight and science mission programs
NESC is engaged in mitigating the Office of the Chief Engineer’s top technical risks and laying the groundwork for technical capability management
With four human spaceflight programs in development, one in operation, and multiple earth and planetary science programs in every lifecycle phase, a robust independent technical capability is necessary for NASA to continue to accomplish its mission
The NESC is an Agency resource to help address critical issues
‒ Provide decision makers impartial, data-driven inputs to address dissenting opinions or multiple alternatives
NESC and TEAMS3
NESC brings together subject matter experts from industry, academia, and other government agencies to solve complex problems
TEAMS3 is a major contract for engineering, test, and analysis support as well as administrative project coordinators, schedulers, and technical editors Engineering, Test, and Analysis Support
− Procure technical experts required to support Technical Discipline Teams (TDT’s) and Technical Assessments − Supports engineering and safety challenges − Level of effort changes throughout the FY − Historically about 60-70 active TDNs each fiscal year, procuring 150-200 subcontractors/consultants
Administrative Support − Project Coordination
− 80-100 active assessments being supported − Scheduling − Document Preparation / Report Writing
− 70-90 per year
Monthly cost reports at the task and vendor/subcontractor level are provided and interface with the NESC Management Analysis and Planning System (MAPS)
