Aeronautics and Exploration Mission Modeling and Simulation (AEMMS)

NASA awarded the Aeronautics and Exploration Mission Modeling and Simulation contract to Science and Technology Corporation of Hampton, Virginia, under solicitation number NNA14502291R. This award notice, published on June 13, 2016, identifies the project under NAICS code 541712 and PSC code A. The contract is a cost-plus-fixed-fee hybrid agreement consisting of both definitive and indefinite delivery indefinite quantity contract line items. It includes a two-year base period and three one-year option periods, reaching a total value of $39,311,355.00.

The scope of work involves providing research and development support services at the NASA Ames Research Center for the Systems Analysis Office, the Army Aviation Development Directorate, and the NASA Aeromechanics Office. Major objectives include the modeling, simulation, and analysis of systems for NASA aeronautics, exploration, space operations, and science missions. Science and Technology Corporation will also support the Applied Modeling and Simulation and Fundamental Modeling and Simulation branches of the NASA Advanced Super-computing Division through the development of aerospace vehicle technologies and large-scale numerical simulations for mission-critical engineering applications.

Performance focuses on fundamental advances in numerical methodologies, algorithms, physical models, and application code development. NASA selected a cost-plus-fixed-fee structure for these services because the specific requirements cannot be adequately defined in advance to support a fixed-price basis.
