The current posting for Federal Business Opportunity (NNA13AA12B-EXT) under NAICS: 541620 will be the second iteration of this service under the name Safety, Environmental, and Medical Support Services that has been publicly posted. The procurement is being conducted by the Ames Research Center (ARC) Contracting Office out of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA).
Current NNA13AA12B-EXT Posting
The current procurement posting, NNA13AA12B-EXT, was released on November 25, 2019 under NAICS: 561210. Per the posted extension, “The performance period will be extended for a maximum of six months (November 16, 2019 – May 15, 2020), consisting of three (3) month past period a three (3) one-month option periods.” The posting also lists “The extension will increase the current contract value by approximately $6,000,000 if the base and all options are exercised”. Due to this extension and total contract value I am projecting the follow-on procurement cycle could begin at any time. Thus, I am using a Early December release in order to be conservative in order to lessen the chances of missing the release.
