PROJECTS
NASA Federal Source Code Policy and Framework
08/2016 - Present Location
This project ensures that new custom-developed Federal source code be made broadly available for reuse across the Federal Government. It requires agencies, when commissioning new custom software, to release at least 20% of new custom-developed code as Open Source Software (OSS) for three years, and to collect data concerning new custom software to gauge performance. This approach is consistent with the Digital Government Strategy "Shared Platform" approach, which enables federal employees to work together, to reduce costs, streamline development, apply uniform standards, and ensure consistency in creating and delivering information.

The majority of services under this contract will be performed at MSFC, Huntsville, Alabama. In the event other NASA Center-specific applications are transitioned into the EAST 2 contract via the IDIQ feature and as support from other locations may be required to meet contractual requirements, other locations as appropriate may be approved in writing by the Contracting Officer.
This contract is anticipated to have a period of performance of five years, consisting of a base period of two years, one two-year option period, and one one-year option period. To incentivize sustained, superior contract performance, the contract will also contain an award term option provision that will provide the contractor with the opportunity to earn up to three additional option years (contract years six, seven, and eight). The total potential period of performance, including all options and award term options, is eight years. What was a successful outcome of your work? (e.g. Raised $3,000 for the charity)
