federal government Sensitive But Unclassified 101617.01 10 NASA’s Workhorses • NASA has 2 crawlers at KSC that were built in 1965 to move the Saturn V rocket from the Vehicle Assembly Building to Launch Pad 39 • After the moon landing and Skylab program, the CTs were used for 30 years to transport Space Shuttles to the launch pads • The refurbished CT-2 will transport NASA’s Space Launch System rocket and launch tower to Pad 39B, its heaviest cargo yet Sensitive But Unclassified 101617.01 11 The CT Upgrade Project • Refurb increased CT carrying capacity from 12 million to 18 million pounds – CT itself weights 6.6 million pounds (= 1,000 pickup trucks) – CT height – varies from 20 to 26 feet, based on position of jacking, equalization and leveling cylinders – CT dimensions are the size of a baseball infield – Top speed = 1 mph loaded, 2 mph unloaded – To date, CT-2 has travelled 2,236 miles • CT-2 upgrades took more than 4 years – Removed & Replaced Traction Roller Assemblies – Installed new Jacking and Leveling Cylinders – Refurbished 16 gear boxes, including replacement of bearings • Service Life extension projects – new AC generators, upgraded control, fluids and electrical systems Sensitive But Unclassified 101617.01 12 Background • ESC given $50M+ Task Order to help NASA upgrade the Crawler Transporter for the Space Launch Program • Approach was to subcontract portions of the work to companies with specific skill sets • Major activities – Piping systems design and installation – Engineering support – Overall management and integration of activities • ESC subcontracted many activities – Hydraulic cylinder design and manufacture – Traction roller component fabrication – Traction roller removal / installation – Gearbox component removal / installation – Gearbox component refurbishment Sensitive But Unclassified 101617.01 13 Traction Roller Upgrade – L&H Roller Removal Field Machining Sensitive But Unclassified 101617.01 14 Traction

NASA/Contractor Crawler Team Sensitive But Unclassified 101617.01 21 Vencore Subcontracting Process under ESC • ESC is a cost-plus Award Fee contract • ESC predominately utilizes fixed price subcontracts • Internet market research is conducted to identify companies with the requisite skill to execute work • Scope of work is clearly defined in solicitation • Proposal solicitation and evaluation is performed using a “Best Value” approach – Winner of the contract determined considering price, technical competency demonstrated in proposal, past performance in similar projects, and schedule – Weighting of the above categories is clearly defined and all bidders are provided the same information and opportunity to compete • NASA is permitted to provide assessments of the bidders - final selection made by ESC • Fixed price contracts are structured with milestone payments, mitigating some of the risk for both parties involved, and minimizing the cost outlay by the subcontractors • Typical milestones include: – Completion of acquisition of materials – Completion of major designs – Completion of testing – Delivery of hardware • Any potential changes in overall project scope are assessed for impacts by ESC – Any changes to subcontractor work scope is negotiated with the vendor Sensitive But Unclassified 101617.01 22 Small Business – By the Numbers • 43% of ESC contract revenue has been awarded to small business (goal - 33%) – Total value from 2001 to 2017 - $379,741,051 • Small Business Subcategories – Small Disadvantaged – Veteran-Owned – Women-Owned – Service Disabled Veteran-owned – Historically Black College or University – HUBZone – Historically Underutilized Business Zones • NASA Small Business – KSC awarded 12.4% in 2017 – $276 million – NASA wide awarded 16% in 2017 – $2.7 billion Sensitive But Unclassified 101617.01 23 Items to consider • Direct contracts from the government are typically found through fedbizops.gov • Contracts with government contractors are typically found through market research and word-of-mouth – An up-to-date website is helpful to have your company found • The government contracting process, whether direct or through a government contractor, can be rewarding • Be sure to fully read the scope of work and ask questions. Many contractors fail to properly estimate the effort that is required for provision of supporting documentation, when required. • Government contracting opportunities exist in most states. Contact the major aerospace company or government procuring agency. Many times the procurement folks will share your capabilities with the project and engineering staff. • The government and their contractors provide contract set-asides for certain business classifications (small biz, woman/veteran/disabled/HUB zone/etc.) which have limited competition.
