    Pre-Exploration Production and Operations Contract (Pre-EPOC) Evaluation and Readiness
    Active
    National Aeronautics And Space Administration
    Special Notice NATIONAL AERONAUTICS AND SPACE ADMINISTRATION Pre-Exploration Production & Operations Contract (Pre-EPOC) Evaluation & Readiness The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is providing this special notice to enhance industry understanding of their ongoing Exploration Production and Operations Contract (EPOC) effort. The purpose of this contract is to transition the method of contracting for the Space Launch System (SLS) from procuring spaceflight hardware from multiple contractors to procuring SLS as a launch service from a single contractor. The EPOC Contractor, Deep Space Transport, LLC (DST), will be responsible for assuming design authority of the integrated SLS Vehicle, managing production and assembly of the SLS Vehicle, supporting cross-program integration activities, and performing post-flight assessments. To reduce risk in the transition to and implementation of the launch service provider model through EPOC, NASA has revised their contracting approach and introduced a longer-term preliminary contract called Pre-Exploration Production and Operations Contract (Pre-EPOC) Evaluation and Readiness. Under this contract, DST will begin performing programmatic and integration activities, demonstrate readiness to perform production and operations tasks, exercise management of the SLS technical baseline, and formulate the development of the EPOC Transition Plans. Pre-EPOC will also require DST to manage work across multiple Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs), demonstrate technical capabilities, and identify programmatic and cost efficiencies. The award of Pre-EPOC is anticipated in early 2024, followed by the award of EPOC closer to the beginning of major hardware production for Artemis V. NASA remains on track to have DST assume the long-term production and operations of SLS for crewed Artemis launches beginning with Artemis V. Market research is ongoing for Pre-EPOC and will continue ahead of any future EPOC procurement. For more information, please refer to the SAM.gov posting: [link] (Source: SAM.gov)
