PROTECTIVE SERVICES – EASTERN REGION - CONSOLIDATION OF REQUIREMENTS D&F (REDACTED)

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has determined a consolidation of contract requirements for the Protective Services – Eastern Region at Glenn Research Center (GRC), Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC), Headquarters (HQ), and Langley Research Center (LaRC) is necessary and justified in accordance with FAR 7.107-2(e)(1)(i) and (ii). Aside from percentage of savings identified within the determination, the consolidation is critical to the Agency’s mission success based on NASA’s Mission Support Future Architecture Program (MAP). Quality improvements that will save time and improve performance or efficiency in a consolidation of contract requirements in support of MAP include: standardization of technical, safety and health, quality, and information technology requirements across the Agency; the ability to move vehicles and personnel to support emergencies at other Centers; consolidation and reduction of contract deliverables and reporting; and the establishment of a centralized repository for contractual data. Additionally, the procurement strategy provides for maximum practicable participation by small business since this is an 8(a) small business set-aside. A copy of the determination, including redactions, is attached. The Final RFP release is anticipated no earlier than seven days after this publication.
