- Description
- NASA/KSC has a requirement for Orion spacecraft assembly, integration and production consultation services. NASA/KSC intends to purchase the services from Artic Slope Technical Services, Inc. (ASRC). ASRC has specialized experience in providing strategic production planning, facilitation and implementation of Orion's spacecraft assembly, integration and production which is directly relevant to the operations planning for the Orion Production Operations Office under NASA's Orion Program. ASRC is uniquely qualified based on their vast experiences, in-depth knowledge and insight and acute familiarity with the current Orion's factory assembly processes and operations. ASRC's qualifications include expertise in Orion AI&P process and Orion's EM-1 continuous improvement plan, which is critical for this specific requirement. The independent consultant and advisor will perform a lessons learned evaluation of the assembly integration and production of Orion's Exploration Flight Test-1 (EFT1) vehicle and develop a continuous improvement process post EFT-1 to ensure subsequent mission successes. The final comprehensive report will help assure the near-term subsequent Orion missions are processed repetitively in a safe, reliable, and cost-effective manner to meet the agency's exploration needs. This specialized knowledge in spacecraft production planning and implementation and in depth prior experience makes ASRC uniquely qualified to provide the support as outlined in the statement of work.

Interested organizations may submit their capabilities and qualifications to perform the effort in writing to the identified point of contact not later than 3:30 p.m. local time on February 3, 2016.
