- Description
- NASA/JSC Aeroscience and Flight Mechanics Division (AFMD) has a requirement for engineering design, development, integration, test, analysis, verification and validation, certification, and spaceflight support activities within the areas of Guidance Navigation & Control (GN&C) systems, integrated avionics systems, and autonomous flight operations. Support under this effort will include research, development, and integration of GN&C and avionics technologies, components, and systems.� The scope includes, but is not limited to, the definition, design, analysis, production, testing, verification and validation, certification, and operation of GN&C and avionics systems and associated hardware and software elements for surface, atmospheric, and spaceflight applications. �These systems may be fully autonomous, remotely operated, piloted by onboard crew, or a combination of those options. �The requirements may involve the modification or upgrade of GN&C and avionics technologies, elements, or systems associated with historical or ongoing NASA projects, programs, and missions. NASA/JSC intends to issue a sole-source contract to acquire the GN&C services from Charles Stark Draper Laboratories, Inc. (Draper) under the authority of Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 6.302-1, Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements, due to their extensive theoretical and applied GN&C knowledge base, proven research, and development capabilities for innovative GN&C and avionics hardware and software. �This effort�is a follow-on acquisition to the current Advanced GN&C Technology Development and Analysis Services Contract (NNJ16HK08B), which expires on 3/31/2021.� Draper Laboratories has pioneered achievements for NASA through their design and integration expertise in complex GN&C systems for Human Space Flight (HSF).� Over the last 50 years, Draper has continuously performed mission critical roles in the design, development, analysis, integration, testing, operation, and sustaining engineering of NASA�s manned vehicles including Apollo and Space Shuttle.� Draper possesses the demonstrated ability to combine the lessons learned from heritage aerospace designs and flight experience with cutting edge technology and �out-of-the-box� thinking to rapidly conceptualize, develop, validate, implement, and evolve innovative and practical solutions to complex GN&C related space flight challenges including real-time on-orbit anomaly resolution.� Draper has provided essential support for the development, integration and testing of the GN&C software and hardware for the Crew Module of the MPCV Program Orion vehicle for the EFT-1 flight. Draper possesses the skills, experience, tools, and algorithms essential for the development and integration of the GN&C system for the EM-1/2.� Draper also developed the Timeliner software for ISS application and possesses the expertise necessary to efficiently update and sustain the software. The Government does not intend to acquire a commercial item using FAR Part 12. Interested organizations may submit their capabilities and qualifications to perform the effort electronically via email to florence.a.ahadzie@nasa.gov and stacy.g.houston@nasa.gov not later than 4:30 p.m. Central Standard Time (CST) on August 7, 2020.� Such capabilities/qualifications will be evaluated solely for the purpose of determining whether or not to conduct this acquisition on a competitive basis.� A determination by the Government not to compete this acquisition on a full and open competition basis, based upon responses to this notice, is solely within the discretion of the Government. NASA Clause 1852.215-84, Ombudsman, is applicable.� The Center Ombudsman for this acquisition can be found at http://prod.nais.nasa.gov/pub/pub_library/Omb.html
