Background

The Human Space Flight Technical Integration Contract (HSFTIC) provides the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) with products and services to support mission and program technical integration activities and the necessary infrastructure functions for the International Space Station (ISS) Program, Orion Program, and Gateway Program with the potential for supporting additional Human Space Flight Programs or Projects via the issuance of task orders.

The purpose and mission of the ISS Program is to advance science and technology research, expand human knowledge, inspire and educate the next generation, foster the commercial development of space, and demonstrate capabilities to enable future exploration missions beyond low Earth orbit.

The Orion Program has been tasked by the NASA Administrator to accelerate the return of astronauts to the moon’s surface by 2024. The Orion Program’s environment is dynamic with many moving parts across multiple stages of development, integration, and testing each affected by critical deadlines toward the development of its spacecraft.

The Gateway Program will be an outpost in lunar orbit and will enable the return of astronauts to the surface of the Moon by 2024. The Program is currently in its formulation phase and faced with a host of new challenges and changing requirements as concepts are developed, analyzed and dispositioned. The Gateway Program will be NASA’s subsequent step from low Earth orbit to lunar orbit.

Thorough knowledge and expertise about the Programs will be necessary to perform this contract. The contractor must maintain flexibility and responsiveness to changing requirements across multiple Programs and different priorities while also maintaining performance of activities in the most cost-effective and efficient manner with safety, mission success, and customer satisfaction as priorities. When ISS Program documentation(e.g. SSP documents, Data Requirements Document (DRD), etc.) is referenced in this Statement of Work (SOW) in the Orion or Gateway SOW sections, it is intentional. Use of SSP documents for Orion and Gateway is expeditious to the implementation of required support activities for these Programs as their respective program development matures.

The contractor is to provide products and services in support of the following:

  • Program Management
  • Business Management
  • Configuration Management and Data Management
  • Information Technology
  • Systems Engineering and Integration
