E-MAIL: Nancy A. Robb, nrobb@ba1.jsc.nasa.gov. NASA JSC intends to award a sole source contract to Lockheed Martin Corporation Space Information Systems (LMSIS) for simulation support services on aircraft and related equipment assigned to the NASA Johnson Space Center, Houston, TX, and located at Ellington Field, Texas. Only LMSIS has the unique capability required to safely and efficiently design and develop the Shuttle Training Aircraft (STA) Multi-Function Electronic Display System (MEDS) implementation. Contractor operations shall include the STA MEDS design, development, and integration as the major and most critical mission support task to be performed. The STA MEDS implementation requires extensive software and hardware modification which are unique to the STA. The STA Meds integration must be completed to provide training support to Shuttle flight crews. The MEDS project requires hardware, software, and associated documentation changes to the aircraft and the ADAS, the AVaS, and the ATE. Additional supplies and services to be provided include program management, engineering, integration, maintenance, and operation of the STA Advanced Digital Avionics Systems (ADAS), the STA Advanced Validation System (AVaS), the STA Automatic Test Equipment (ATE), the Aircraft Operations Division (AOD) Local Area Network, the AOD data bases, and the pilot trainer display systems that include the MEDS, the Head-up Display, the Multifunction Cathode-ray-tube Display System, and the Orbiter-configured Attitude Direction Indicator. The contractor is also required to design, code, edit, and test changes to the STA simulation systems software, develop test plans, and conduct and participate in software flight readiness reviews. The complement of aircraft requiring simulation support services currently consists of four Gulfstream II aircraft modificed to simulate Shuttle Orbiter flight and landing approaches for astronaut pilot training. The STA simulation systems, described above, include onboard avionics systems and a ground based validation system. Period of performance will be January 1, 1999 through December 31, 2000. All responsible sources may submit a proposal which shall be considered by the Agency. See Notes B, 22, and 26. (0119)
