- Description
- Virtual Industry Day and One-On-Ones NASA Johnson Space Center (JSC) plans to conduct an Industry Day overview of the Multi-Purpose Crew Vehicle (MPCV) Program Integration Contract II (MPIC II). The presentation for Industry Day will be held via a virtual Lync session from 9:00 am to 11:00 am (CDT) on Tuesday, September 13, 2016. The Government will also provide one-on-one communication opportunities which can be scheduled on Wednesday, September 14, 2016 and Thursday, September 15, 2016. A Request for Information (RFI) synopsis was posted on June 6, 2016, under the Reference Number NNJ16591055L, requesting industry information to consider as part of the decision making process for this procurement. The Government is considering making this procurement a total Small Business set-aside acquisition. It is anticipated that JSC will issue a solicitation for MPIC II. This is a follow-on effort to the MPCV Program Integration Contract (MPIC) that will support JSC in Houston, Texas. The planned effort is anticipated to be similar in scope to the MPIC Contract and will provide: • Professional engineering and related services for the JSC MPCV Program Office, including the integration of MPCV Program Office work performed at other NASA centers and with the MPCV Program's lead development contractor. • Assessments of management processes, program schedules and costs. • Maintenance of the Program Plan and Work Breakdown Structure; support to the development of the annual Program Planning, Budgeting, and Execution process; and data management, risk management and configuration management. • Engineering reviews and assessments for system requirements, testing and verification, performing performance analyses, and reporting on the achievability of the integrated requirements. • Development of concept of operations planning, processes and procedures for ground operations, flight execution and recovery. The current version of the Statement of Work (SOW) and Task Orders for the MPIC contract, NNJ13TA03B, are provided in the technical library on the MPIC II website at http://procurement.jsc.nasa.gov/mpic2/. It is the potential offerors responsibility to monitor the website for any future updates.
