ATOM-5 ADDITIONAL OPTION YEARS AND POP EXTENSION

NASA/ARC has a requirement for ground-based aerospace testing and facilities operations and maintenance in support of many experiments and projects such as the Sensor and Thermal Protection System Advanced Research (STAR) Lab, Orion Multi-purpose Crew Vehicle (MPCV), and Artemis.

NASA/ARC intends to issue a sole source contract to acquire the aerospace testing and facilities operations and maintenance services from Amentum Technology, LLC., under FAR 6.302-1 for an additional 24-month period of performance (POP), or two 1-year option periods, added to the current contract 80ARC022DA001, Aerospace Testing and Facilities Operations and Maintenance-5 (ATOM-5). The current contract is an Indefinite Quantity/Indefinite Delivery contract with a Cost-Plus Fixed Fee Contract Management core and IDIQ task orders with a five-year ordering period. The additional 24-month POP will be an extension to the current ordering period for a total of seven years.

The Government does not intend to acquire a commercial item using FAR Part 12.
