NASA ISSUES REQUEST FOR TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER PROPOSAL
NASA today announced the release of the Technology Transfer
Transformation Request for Proposals (RFP). This solicitation is part of
NASA's transformation of its technology transfer program that began in the
summer of 2004.
The RFP addresses and implements several recommendations made by the
National Academy for Public Administration after a year-long independent
review of the Agency's technology transfer program.
The mission of the Technology Transfer program is to develop partnerships
that advance NASA's mission goals and supports the agency's Vision for Space
Exploration. These partnerships engage industry, other Government
laboratories and academia. The intent of these partnerships is to obtain
needed technologies for NASA missions and programs, and make available to
American industry those technologies developed and/or owned by NASA.
The RFP is for a two-year base period of performance and allows for three
optional years. It covers support by a central contractor and will replace
the current network of regional technology transfer centers.
The RFP includes six technology program specific tasks and requires the
successful bidder to support both the NASA Headquarters program office and
the technology transfer offices at each of the ten NASA field centers.
The Exploration Systems Mission Directorate's Innovative Partnerships
Program Office developed the solicitation and will manage the procurement.
The RFP follows a Request for Information, a release for public review of
the Statement of Work, and a draft RFP, from which the final RFP was
drafted.
Respondents have 45 days to respond. They must also submit a past
performance volume within 22 days. The full RFP is posted at the NASA
Procurement Portal on the Internet at:
