The primary work areas for this contract are aerospace facilities at the NASA Johnson Space Center, Houston, Texas, and related operations at Ellington Field (EF), Houston, Texas, and Sonny Carter Training Facility (SCTF), Houston, Texas. Intermittent support may be required at other sites for which JSC has responsibility such as Forward Operating Locations (FOL) in El Paso, Texas and the White Sands Test Facility, Las Cruces, New Mexico. Contractor services may be required at other locations, NASA contractor, subcontractor, or vendor facilities as requirements warrant. The current Statement of Work (SOW) for CSFO can be viewed at: https://procurement.jsc.nasa.gov/csfo2/. This current SOW is for information and planning purposes only and to allow industry the opportunity to verify reasonableness and feasibility of the requirement, as well as promote competition.
