NASA SELECTS FIRM FOR INDEPENDENT ENGINEERING
ASSESSMENTS
NASA selected a federally funded research and development
center, sponsored by the Air Force, to provide independent
engineering assessment support.
The Aerospace Corporation, El Segundo, Calif., will provide NASA
management with timely, objective, non-advocacy assessments of the
health and status of agency current and potential programs. The
assessments will be in key technical programmatic areas including
safety, design, engineering process, manufacturing, assembly,
operational mission capabilities, cost, schedule and risk.
The value of the Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ)
cost-plus-fixed-fee, task order contract is $49 million over five
years. Administered at NASA’s Langley Research Center in
Hampton, Va., the principal work locations are the
contractor’s facility in El Segundo and at the Langley
center.
Types of assessments provided by the Aerospace Corporation will
also include technical, management, cost, risk, environmental
impact, mission trajectory, resource use, analyses of instruments,
spacecraft and launch vehicle designs, systems engineering,
fabrication, assembly, test and launch operations. The contract
will also provide services to conduct management, scientific and
technical studies.
