The governing statutory provision is 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1), "OnlyOne Responsible Source," in support of the Office of Systems Safety and Mission Assurance(OSSMA), Resource Analysis Office (RAO). This procurement is to extend the current purchase order period by 4 months, from May 1,2008 through August 31, 2008 in order to ensure RAO's critical mission support continuityand to avoid significant technical and programmatic impacts to GSFC, until a DataProgramming and Analysis of Aerospace Acquisition Data competitive contract is awarded. RAO's mission is to provide capability to GSFC Center management for independent cost andschedule estimating, risk assessment, and mission risksuccess utilizing existing andprojected programs, their cost, technical, programmatic and acquisition implementationapproach. Their responsibility includes the development and maintenance of current costmodels supported by resource and technical databases, complied from current andhistorical data derived and collected from NASA's "corporate memory," as well as fromon-going market surveys and current cost projections, quotes, bids, and estimates. Thiscapability is critical to the efficient operation of the Center, in that it involves thedevelopment of accurate resource estimation and forecasting models for the planning andacquisition of future spacecraft programs and ancillary scientific instruments,scientific payloads and suites, mission systems integration and test, and other keyresource elements (i.e. cost, schedule, workforce, and risk assessment). Given thecritical nature of the forecasting required, the work of the RAO includes both long-termstudies and unforeseeable ad hoc investigations that require short or immediateturnaround times.
