- Description
- Draft SOW for NACS NASA currently operates two major High Performance Computing (HPC) facilities: NASA Advanced Supercomputing (NAS) at Ames Research Center, Moffett Field, California, and the NASA Center for Climate Simulation (NCCS) at Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland. NAS operates the primary HPC facility in support of all NASA mission areas, whereas the NCCS primarily supports the Science Mission Directorate (SMD). Users of both facilities are broadly distributed across most NASA centers and numerous partner organizations, including other federal agencies, universities, corporations, and other organizations performing work for or with NASA. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Ames Research Center (ARC) and NASA Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC) are seeking to consolidate the NASA Advanced Computing Services (NACS) and NASA Center for Climate Simulation (NCCS) requirements. Consolidation of requirements will enhance best value to NASA by reducing transition costs, ensure streamlined acquisition and improve the overall effectiveness of NACS services. The consolidated requirement will be known as the NASA Advanced Computing Services (NACS). NACS defines the scope of activities required to support advanced computing services for NASA. The attached Statement Of Work (SOW) primarily covers the NASA Advanced Supercomputing (NAS) Division at Ames Research Center (ARC), the NASA Center for Climate Simulation (NCCS) at Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC), and other centers as required by the Government. The primary advanced computing service provided by both NAS and the NCCS is high performance computing (HPC, also known as supercomputing, high end computing, or HEC). Other areas, including high-end applications, data-intensive computing, collaborative computing, and emerging computing paradigms (such as quantum computing) are becoming increasingly important services. In addition, NACS will support NASA mission-driven science and engineering using these advanced computing services. The Draft Statement of Work for the NACS requirement is provided. The NACS requirement is the follow-on procurement to the following current contracts: NASA ARC, NASA Supercomputing Support Services (NS3), NNA07CA29C and NASA GSFC, Computational and Information Science and Technology Office (CISTO), NNG13HQ01C. NASA Ames Research Center posted a Request for Information (RFI) NNA15NACSL on April 3, 2015 as part of ARC’s market research effort. NAICS Code: 541513 – Computer Facilities Management Services, with a size standard of $27.5M. Opportunity for Requirements Information: Interested parties will have the opportunity for two, one-on-one meetings; one at ARC and one at GSFC before the Draft Request For Proposal (DRFP) is released. Duration of each one-on-one meeting shall be for one hour. It is not required to schedule a one-on-one meeting; it is also not required to schedule a meeting at both Centers. Interested parties who have already met to discuss the NACS/ARC or NCCS/GSFC requirements will have the opportunity to meet again at either Center or both. Interested parties shall contact the Contracting Officers listed below via email to arrange a one-on-one meeting at ARC and GSFC. NASA Ames Research Center: Veronica Llamas Gutierrez, Contracting Officer Veronica.L.Gutierrez@nasa.gov NASA Goddard Space Flight Center: Darlene Debra Harkins, Contracting Officer Darlene.Harkins@nasa.gov All contractual and technical questions about the NACS procurement must be submitted in writing to Veronica L. Gutierrez at Veronica.L.Gutierrez@nasa.gov.
