CONTRACT RELEASE: C05-l

NASA SELECTS FIRMS FOR SOFTWARE VERIFICATION & VALIDATION

NASA has selected Northrop Grumman Information Technology, Falls
Church, Va., and Titan Corporation, Reston, Va. for the Independent
Verification and Validation (IV&V) of Software Services.

The two firms have been awarded Cost-Plus-Award-Fee, Indefinite Delivery,
Indefinite Quantity contracts. The purpose of the contracts is to provide
NASA with the capability to independently verify and validate selected
software at the IV&V facility in Fairmont, W.Va., and other specified
locations. Verification determines whether the safety requirements for the
software are being fulfilled. Validation determines whether the software
designed for a specific intended use meets the needs of the mission or
agency. Some of the IV&V work will support programs such as the
International Space Station, Space Shuttle, and the James Webb Space
Telescope.

All potential IV&V support projects will be competed between the two
contracts to ensure the best quality work and best price for the effort. The
minimum amount of supplies and services that can be ordered is $100,000 with
the maximum amount of $200 million per contract. Each contract has a
five-year ordering period, but individual efforts may extend beyond that
timeframe.

The Director of NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center, Greenbelt, Md.,
administratively manages the IV&V facility. NASA's Chief Safety and Mission
Assurance Officer functionally manages the IV&V effort. For information
