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 areas or two separate contracts. The request for proposal is expected to be released in January 2022 with contract award by January 2023 and an April 2023 start date. NASA Langley is also seeking industry feedback on the acquisition strategy, potential barriers to engagement with academic subject matter experts, opportunities to transition work to remote settings, recommendations to enhance diversity and inclusion, and additional risks to consider. Responses are requested by August 11, 2021.
