NSSC Vision: Enable mission success through unparalleled service.

Contract Mission: A flexible contract that supports high-quality, timely, cost-effective, innovative and customer-focused services and support for NASA customers with reliable service delivery.

The DRFP is provided to give interested parties an opportunity to make recommendations that could improve the RFP and to ask questions or request clarifications on the RFP’s content.

Interested parties are encouraged to comment on all aspects of the draft solicitation, including the requirements, schedules, proposal instructions, and evaluation approaches, any perceived safety, occupational health, security (including information technology security), environmental, export control, and/or other programmatic risk issues associated with performance of the work.

Hybrid Industry Day:

A limited capacity, in-person industry day event is tentatively scheduled on Wednesday, September 21, 2022 from 10:00 AM to 3:00 PM ET (includes one hour lunch break). The in-person event will be held at NASA Headquarters (HQ) in Washington, DC. Due to a capacity restriction of 50 attendees, attendance will be confirmed on a first come first served basis. In-person attendance is limited to no more than 2 representatives per interested party. Virtual presentation will be provided via Microsoft Teams and will be restricted to the first 900 attendees.

In-person, one-on-one capability meetings will be conducted in forty-five-minute time blocks as requested by interested parties. Currently there are only seven opportunities available.

Confirmation email from the NTSS Contracting Officer to attend is required for both the September 21, 2022 Industry Day event and, if requested, the September 22, 2022 one-on-one event.
