The core management requirements include technical direction, contract compliance and quality assurance, resource tracking and acquisition, safety, health and environmental, risk management and government property management.

The technology R&D and support requirements call for prospective contractors to perform work in four technology areas: autonomous systems and robotics; software engineering; discovery and systems health; and collaborative and assistant systems.

The contract’s IDIQ requirements cover technology research areas, software systems engineering and project management and flight and mission operations support.

The agency’s Ames Research Center will accept proposals through Aug. 27 and plans to award the contract in January 2019.
