1. INTRODUCTION AND SCOPE

The contractor shall provide all necessary management, personnel, equipment, facilities, materials, supplies, and services, except as may be expressly set forth in the contract as Government Furnished Equipment, to effectively implement, control, track, perform and sustain all requirements of the Performance Work Statement (PWS) to support effort at Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC), Lyndon B. Johnson Space Center (JSC), and Langley Research Center (LaRC). Services to be provided are in two broad technical areas including Institutional Occupational Safety and Occupational Health. These services will enable the Centers to comply with National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) policies and Federal regulations in each of the technical areas. The contractor may be required to perform services at its own facility (off-site), at other NASA Centers and/or at the Center’s satellite locations. Details of each Center specific locations and scope are described in the PWS Appendix A provides position qualifications required to be used in the performance of this contract. Task orders may also be issued to provide similar support as described herein for other Centers.

NASA Safety Vision

“Safety is a core value at NASA”, as described in NASA Policy Directive (NPD) 1000.0A.

“NASA’s constant attention to safety is the cornerstone upon which NASA builds mission success. We at NASA are committed, individually and as a team, to protecting the safety and health of the public, our team members, and those assets that the Nation entrusts to us”. This contract is a principal resource used by the Center’s Safety Organizations to meet the strategic goal of ensuring a safe work environment for the public, Center personnel, and protecting property. Specific objectives of this strategic goal include:

Improving safety behavior through increased awareness of safety requirements and improved accountability measures.

Improving the timeliness and quality of mishap investigations.

Integrating risk-based analysis into facility management decision-making to optimize risk trades based on available funding.

Providing a safe work environment in the face of challenges such as:

A multifaceted work environment, involving diverse hazards from the office to industrial work areas, to the most advanced laboratories and test systems

New and emerging technology An aging infrastructure An uncertain Agency budgets

A. Providing leadership to identify and manage the risks in a creative, proactive, and cost-effective manner by:

Establishing relationships to encourage a safe work environment with personnel at the

Center.

Performing data analysis that quickly recognizes trends in safety performance.

Recommending better performance indicators of changes in risk at the Center.

Understanding the latest tools and techniques available to improve safe work conditions and behaviors.

Assisting NASA to prioritize resources in a manner most effective at reducing the Center’s mishap risks.

Goddard Space Flight Center

The services to be performed under this contract are principally performed at the GSFC/Greenbelt Campus, Maryland. Annual safety inspections and occasional non-routine support services shall also be provided for NASA employees located at the Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS) in New York City, New York, the IV&V Facility in Fairmont, West Virginia, and the White Sands Complex (WSC) in Las Cruces, New Mexico. The estimated population for services includes approximately 10,000 NASA civil service and contractor personnel, located within 38 major facilities and encompassing over 3.4 million square feet of office, industrial and laboratory space.

Johnson Space Center

The services to be performed under this contract are principally performed at the Johnson Space Center (JSC), NASA operations at Ellington Field (EF) and Sonny Carter Training Facility (SCTF). All these sites are in Houston, Texas. EF and SCTF are considered part of JSC. Intermittent support may be required at other sites for which JSC has responsibility such as the El Paso Forward Operating Location (EPFOL) in El Paso, Texas; the White Sands Test Facility (WSTF) in Las Cruces, New Mexico, and other locations in the continental United States. Infrequent safety support may also be required at locations where JSC has interests such as off-site contractor locations, other NASA centers, and other domestic and international non- NASA locations (“off-site” locations).

JSC has an on-site population of approximately 9,000 employees, comprised of federal civil servants, contractor employees and international partner employees. The Center has approximately 200 buildings with approximately 3.3 million square feet of interior floor space. The buildings encompass a broad mixture of functions, including administrative, office, laboratory, industrial, research, storage, aircraft hangars, a large underwater weightless test center and several Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certified facilities.

Langley Research Center

The services to be performed under this contract are principally performed at the NASA's Langley Research Center (LaRC). LaRC is comprised of nearly 200 facilities on 764 acres in Hampton, Virginia, and employs about 3,400 civil service and contractor personnel. The buildings encompass a broad mixture of functions, including administrative, office, laboratory, industrial, research, storage, aircraft hangar, and several Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certified facilities.

JSHIFT Regionalization Effort

NASA is merging multiple occupational safety and health contracts at GSFC, JSC, and LaRC into the regionalized JSHIFT contract. Centers across the agency implement occupational safety and health programs differently to meet the center-specific unique mission needs. Many of the requirements throughout the contract are needed at all three centers and the agency has attempted to standardize services as much as possible under this contract.

There are some services that require additional support to meet these unique mission needs at one or two of the Centers which are not required at all three Centers. The section headings detail which centers require the specific support defined in the paragraph. Appendix B also provides a summary and indicates which sections apply to each Center.

Even where the services are consistent across all three Centers, the specific delivery method or systems used for entering information to meet requirements may be different. Appendix C is a table summarizing key technical requirements. This table is a summary of key technical requirements that may have unique delivery methods that are different at one or more of the Centers and is not intended to be a complete listing of all requirements under the contract.

Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ): In accordance with Clause H-XX, IDIQ work will be accomplished by the issuance of task orders by the Contracting Officer (CO). Discrete work requirements will be defined in Government-issued Task Orders authorized under the Task Ordering Procedure clause 1852.216-80 (OCT 1996) and FAR clauses 52.216-18 Ordering (August 2020) and 52.216-22 Indefinite Quantity (OCT 1995). Tasks can include any or all items within the scope of this Performance Work Statement. They may include tasks performed at GSFC, JSC, or LaRC or at another NASA Center, Headquarters, another Federal Agency, or at Contractor facilities.
