REIMBURSABLE SPACE ACT UMBRELLA AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE NATIONAL AERONAUTICS AND SPACE ADMINISTRATION LYNDON B. JOHNSON SPACE CENTER AND KBR WYLE SERVICES, LLC FOR HUMAN HEALTH AND PERFORMANCE FACILITIES UTILIZATION. ARTICLE 1. AUTHORITY AND PARTIES In accordance with the National Aeronautics and Space Act (51 U.S.C. § 20113), this Agreement is entered into by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration Lyndon B. Johnson Space Center, located at 2101 NASA Parkway, Houston, Texas 77058 (hereinafter referred to as "NASA" or "NASA JSC") and KBR Wyle Services, LLC, located at 2400 NASA Parkway, Houston, TX 77058 (hereinafter referred to as "Partner" or "KBR"). NASA and Partner may be individually referred to as a "Party" and collectively referred to as the "Parties." ARTICLE 2. PURPOSE AND IMPLEMENTATION In 2013, NASA JSC conducted a full and open competition under the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) to procure support of the broad range of activities in the Human Health and Performance Directorate at the Johnson Space Center that is responsible for working in space, for the overall science excellence on human space missions, and for the transfer of new knowledge to practical applications on Earth. Through that competitive process, NASA JSC selected Wyle Laboratories Inc. (now KBR Wyle Services, LLC) to perform this work under Contract No. NNJ15HK11B. Under the contract Statement of Work, KBR is required to maintain and operate Human Health and Performance (HHP) Facilities and labs identified in the SOW. Under FAR Subpart 45.3 and Clause H.17, the Government may allow a contractor to use Government facilities provided under a contract for non-Government purposes in exchange for consideration. This Agreement shall define the terms, conditions, and benefits to the Government for KBR's non-Government use of NASA JSC HHP facilities. With the exception of Articles 11 & 12 of this Agreement, in case of any conflict between this Agreement and the Human Health and Performance contract, Contract No. NNJ15HK11B the terms of the Human Health and Performance contract shall take precedence. The JSC facilities subject to this Agreement are those NASA JSC laboratories and facilities, including property (real and personal), equipment, software, and technical capabilities, for which KBR has operational responsibility or capability under the Human Health and Performance Contract No. NNJ15HK11B and as agreed to between the parties. The resources and work anticipated under this SAA should provide a benefit to NASA and require the unique NASA skills and competencies not reasonably available on the US commercial market from another source. 1 of 16 SAA-SA-21-34167 An External Customer Plan DRD HHPC-MGMT-08 documents the process by which KBR will present requests for non-Government use of the facilities to NASA. These requests are negotiated and agreed upon by both parties and documented in the Capability Utilization Request Evaluation (CURE) form outlined in the DRD HHPC-MGMT-08. This agreement will help NASA JSC keep its unique facilities and/or resources utilized to the maximum extent practicable, provide a convenient avenue for commercial access to unique JSC facilities and/or resources, reduce the need for NASA to negotiate individual agreements with each commercial entity, and achieve cost savings for NASA. The Parties shall execute one (1) Annex Agreement (hereinafter referred to as the "Annex") concurrently with this Umbrella Agreement. The Parties may execute subsequent Annexes under this Umbrella Agreement consistent with the purpose and terms of this Umbrella Agreement. This Umbrella Agreement shall govern all Annexes executed hereunder; no Annex shall change this Umbrella Agreement.
