Description
NASA-Johnson Space Center awarded Modification 1602 of Contract NAS15-10000 to The Boeing Company for Phase II development of the International Space Station (ISS) Common Docking Adapter (CDA) for the United States On-orbit Segment (USOS). This modification, valued at $15,000,000, applies funds from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 to CDA assembly, which includes three major components: (1) Common Passive Docking Interface (CPDI), (2) Tunnel, and (3) Passive Common Berthing Mechanism. A CPDI shall be compatible with docking interfaces of Constellation Program Orion and European Space Agency Advanced Re-entry Vehicle visiting vehicles being developed for docking to the USOS.
This effort was noncompetitively awarded to The Boeing Company under the NAS15-10000 contract. The Boeing Company is uniquely qualified to perform the Phase II development of the ISS CDA based on the unique expertise they possess as a result of having solely developed and integrated the ISS. Furthermore, for the work required and given the time constraints imposed, the existing NAS15-10000 is the most appropriate contractual vehicle for the preservation of jobs using Recovery Act funds.
This modification was issued using the same cost-plus-award-fee (CPAF) contract arrangement that was established from the original contract award. A CPAF arrangement is appropriate due to uncertainties involved in performance of this effort that do not permit costs to be estimated with sufficient accuracy for the use of a fixed-price contractual vehicle.
