NASA’s Ames Research Center, or ARC, has announced plans to extend the performance period of the third iteration of the Intelligent Systems Research and Development Support, or ISRDS-3, contract by another two years.
Intelligent Systems Research and Development Support 3 Contract Requirement
According to a presolicitation notice published Monday, ARC uses the ISRDS-3 contract to acquire research, development, and technology infusion services to support its Intelligent Systems Division as well as its experiments and projects in various fields, including machine learning, robotics, software development, modeling, aeronautics and data systems.
ARC intends to award KBR a sole-source contract to continue providing technology infusion support services for the division for another 24 months.
The ISRDS-3 contract has an eight-year ordering period, and the additional two one-year option terms will extend it to 10 years.
Interested stakeholders may submit their qualifications and capabilities to meet the contract requirement by July 8.
The government will evaluate potential offerors’ capabilities to determine whether to conduct a full and open competition for the procurement effort.
The ISRDS-3 contract has core management and technical components at the main contract level and an indefinite-quantity/indefinite-delivery component under which cost-plus-fixed-fee task orders are executed.
