NASA has selected six companies to provide early-stage innovations and partnership support services.
The services will be provided across multiple NASA centers. The place of performance will be specified in each specific call, with much of the work being performed virtually.
Included in this blanket purchase agreement were: REI Systems, Inc., of Chantilly, Virginia; Bryce Space and Technology, LLC., of Alexandria, Virginia; Research Triangle Institute, of Research Triangle Park, North Carolina; Andrew Morgan Consulting, LLC., of Washington, District of Columbia; GXM Consulting, LLC., of Midlothian, Virginia; and JMA Solutions, LLC., of Washington.
Under this agreement, NASA has the discretion to issue call orders using a firm-fixed price, time and materials, labor hour, or a hybrid contract type. The $47.5 million contract represents the total cost of all agreements and includes an order period of five years, which is anticipated to begin Jan. 27. NASA has the option to extend the contract up to six months.
Work performed will include support services in program operations management, helpdesk operations, strategic planning and execution, organization design, organizational change management, service design, service execution, stakeholder engagement and stakeholder outreach.
