PAAC V Synopsis.docx

NASA/GSFC intends to extend the period of performance for a period of ten (10) months and increase the maximum ordering value of Contract 80GSFC20D0001, Program Analysis and Control (PAAC V) with ASRC Federal System Solutions, LLC (ASRC). The PAAC V contract provides accounting, planning and scheduling/earned value management, documentation management, configuration management and security compliance. The place of performance for PAAC V is the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC) Facilities and Installations, NASA Headquarters (HQ), Langley Research Center, and other NASA Centers, as needed.

There were several unanticipated factors including launch delays that has contributed to the PAAC V contract to approach the maximum ordering value earlier than expected and prior to its effective ordering period of June 30, 2025. Furthermore, the contract extension is necessary to allow time for the award of the follow-on contract. NASA/GSFC intends to extend the period of performance for ten (10) additional months from June 30, 2025, to April 30, 2026, and increase the maximum ordering value of the PAAC V contract to ensure uninterrupted support until the follow-on competitive contract is awarded. The proposed increase of $130M will revise the contract maximum ordering value from $526,240,000 to $656,240,000.

This procurement action is being conducted on a sole source basis in accordance with 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1). As the incumbent contractor, ASRC is uniquely qualified to provide the services required. ASRC is considered the only contractor that can meet GSFC’s needs, without disruption to current programs and services, given the short amount of time remaining under the current contract. These services function as integral parts of all the aforementioned NASA mission. The skills required to support such critical missions and milestones cannot be readily replaced. Award to any other source for this period would delay NASA/GSFC’s missions.
