The Data Requirements Document (DRD) outlines essential data deliverables for the Joint Safety Health Institutional Facilities Team (JSHIFT) contract with NASA, detailing submission protocols, types of required documents, and associated obligations. It categorizes deliverables into Type 1, Type 2, and Type 3, each with varying levels of NASA's review and approval requirements. Types are differentiated by the contractor's need for prior approval (Type 1), notification and potential disapproval by NASA (Type 2), and straightforward submissions without prior approval (Type 3).
Key deliverables include a Contract Management Plan, Quality Management Plan, Safety and Health Plan, Organizational Conflicts of Interest Plan, and Security Requirements for IT resources, among others. The document specifies distribution, submission timelines, format requirements, and relations to applicable regulations. Emphasis is placed on maintaining compliance with rigorous safety standards and proper financial management throughout the contract lifecycle. This DRD serves as a contractual framework ensuring that the contractor meets NASA's operational, safety, and compliance criteria, ultimately advancing project accountability and transparency within government contracting processes.
