NASA Headquarters requirements include, but are not limited to, the following: Agency-wide support for the management of environmentally-driven risk to mission. This will involve material and process engineering, feasibility and risk assessment, program and project technical and business management, information management and administrative support services. This work will assist the Government in managing those risks in both programmatic and infrastructure realms. The Government has a significant investment in this Program and has made commitments to internal and external entities that hinge on the successful completion of current projects. These efforts are in direct support of NASA systems programs and other Government programs and strategies.The objective of this effort shall be met by fostering technology innovation, encouraging new approaches, and working together with NASA, Department of Defense (DoD), other Government Agencies and international partners. The Contractor shall provide specialized technical and management expertise to NASA Centers, field installations, and NASA Headquarters in relationship to all areas of this contract and to meet the requirements of existing Federal Government and NASA policy. Additionally, the Contractor is expected to use its expertise to provide specialized support in facilitating breakthrough analysis, new technology and continuous improvement of processes within the NASA facility. The contractor is expected to apply cutting edge industry best practices to each specific area that will improve current technical and management practices for this contract. Respondents must demonstrate capabilities, expertise and experience within the last three years in all the following functional contract elements as described below. These contract functions include: TEERM Support, Remediation Technology Collaboration Development, Energy and Water Management, Energy and water data review, analysis and reporting, Provide Program Management support, Environmental and Energy Functional Review (EEFR) Support, Programmatic Environmental Assurance Support, Green Engineering Advancement. FUNCTION 1 TEERM Support The purpose of Core support is to provide engineering, technical and administrative support to the NASA Technology Evaluation for Environmental Risk Mitigation Principal Center (TEERM). This core support effort provides Agency-wide support as specified in the areas of material and process engineering, feasibility and risk assessment, program and project technical and business management, information management and administrative support for the development, planning, integration and execution of project opportunities that reduce or eliminate NASAs environmentally-driven risks. The objective of this effort shall be met by fostering technology innovation, encouraging new approaches, and working together with NASA, other Government agencies, industry, and international partners. The Contractor shall provide the following: The resources to assist the Government in TEERM execution and development. Expertise to assist the Government with strategic planning in order to sustain and expand the program in order to achieve maximum benefits. Maintenance and expansion of the TEERM professional network. This includes regularly contacting current stakeholders to ensure their requirements are being met and to gain understanding of future needs. The contractor must be knowledgeable of emerging technologies and be able to evaluate their pertinence to the needs of TEERM. It is anticipated that the upcoming international agreement will involve certain ongoing basic operating essentials and be supplemented by projects that will proceed through the standard project cycle much like TEERM. The basic operating essentials will consist of the day-to-day coordination with ESA and an annual workshop that alternates between domestic and European sites. The contractor shall assist NASA with the Agreement operation including activity expansion as mentioned above. FUNCTION 2 Remediation Technology Collaboration Development The contractor shall establish and maintain the capability to specifically target reductions in the long-term liability associated with NASAs most challenging remediation sites.This will be accomplished through maintaining a baseline of deployed site remediation processes/conditions, researching potential site applicable emerging technologies while simultaneously looking for similar situations where these emerging technologies could be used, and then pursuing the most promising of these situations with directed research, bench studies, pilot studies and demonstration projects. This will provide an independent resource within TEERM that would provide independent assessment of the conditions and technologies. (Independent from the viewpoint that TEERM is not responsible for any remediation implementation). Risks addressed are associated with the long-term environmental liability which includes cost, schedule and demonstration of support for technical impractibility waivers where warranted. FUNCTION 3 Energy and Water Management The contractor shall provide support in the field of Agency energy/water program management. This work will assist the Government in meeting its requirements as mandated by external federal requirements and NASA policy to support the NASA mission ensuring energy and water security.
