1.0 Introduction/Background

This Performance Work Statement (PWS) defines the requirements to support research and technology development in order to meet evolving NASA Langley Research Center (LaRC) mission objectives, along with interrelated mission functions of the Agency and other NASA Centers. The TEAMS 3 requirements are identified in three sections: Contract Management; Technical Requirements; and Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) requirements. The Contract Management section addresses overall contract level requirements. Technical requirements are organized into twelve thirteen technical disciplines that define the services to be provided under both the Core Mission Support (Core) and Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) requirements. The Core provides discipline oriented work that includes core technical engineering services as determined by programs, projects, and implementing organizations. In addition, a number of requirements will be issued as IDIQ Task Orders (TOs) to accommodate programmatic uncertainty, and potential new work within the scope of this contract. The Contracting Officer will issue TOs in cases that include, but are not limited to, short term technical efforts and new work where the enduring nature is uncertain. IDIQ work which becomes enduring will be transitioned to Core. The requirements for Core and IDIQ work will be driven by ever changing technology; varying national, international, and ecological concerns; and the NASA vision.

Core requirements as well as IDIQ requirements will utilize Technical Direction Notices (TDNs) as defined in the contract. Contract documentation and deliverables are identified in Exhibit B. In addition to Exhibit B, a number of the technical disciplines and associated subsections also reference unique deliverables that further enhance the requirements in those areas. An Acronym List for the PWS is included as Attachment 1. Applicable Documents, including but not limited to policy, procedures, handbooks, and directives are listed in Attachment 2 to the PWS. Individual TDNs and TOs will reference other unique documents.

2.0 Scope

The primary objective of the TEAMS 3 contract is to conduct and support research and technology development in order to meet evolving NASA mission objectives. Work requirements include support of scientific research; engineering design, analysis, and development; technology readiness level (TRL) advancement of work associated with evolving NASA missions; implementation of technology programs; test implementation and operations; systems analysis and conceptual design; and program/project management support. The Contractor will support multiple long term, complex NASA missions (programs/projects) including, but not limited to: 1) Aeronautics Research Mission Directorate’s Aeronautics Air Vehicles Program (AAVP), Airspace Operations and Safety Program (AOSP), Integrated Aviation Systems Program (IASP), and Transformative Aeronautics Systems Program (TACP); 2) Human Exploration and Operations Mission Directorate’s Exploration Systems Development, Commercial Space Transportation, Research and Technology, and Operations; 3) Space Technology Mission Directorate’s Technology Demonstration Mission (TDM) and ; 4) Game Changing Directorate (GCD)evelopment Program Office; 4and 5) the NASA Engineering & Safety Center (NESC); and 5) Science Mission Directorate. Work will include cooperative activities with other contractors, NASA Centers, and Federal Agencies.
