A phase-in period begins Monday, followed by a base ordering period of four years with options to extend services through March 2034.<\/p>\n<p>Under the contract, Bastion will provide services for a wide range of activities including system safety, reliability, maintainability, software assurance, quality engineering and assurance, independent assessment, institutional safety, and pressure systems.<\/p>\n<p>The work will support various spaceflight and science missions, research and development projects, hardware fabrication and testing, and other activities at NASA Marshall, Michoud Assembly Facility in New Orleans, and Stennis Space Center in Bay St. Louis, Mississippi. Tasks also will be performed at NASA\u2019s Kennedy Space Center in Florida, contractor facilities, and other sites supported by Marshall\u2019s Safety and Mission Assurance Directorate.<\/p>\n<p>The SMAS II contract is a small business set-aside, which levels the playing field for qualified small businesses to compete for and win federal contracts.<\/p>\n<p>For information about NASA and agency
