IGF::OT::IGF THE CONTACTOR SHALL ASSIST THE GOVERNMENT IN THE DEVELOPMENT, VALIDATION, AND MAINTENANCE OF REQUIREMENTS AND STANDARDS, IDENTIFY AND MITIGATE RISKS TO CREW HEALTH, SAFETY AND PERFORMANCE, CONDUCT RESEARCH AND ANALYSIS, AND PROVIDE SOUND, COMPREHENSIVE MEDICAL, BIOMEDICAL, AND SPACE HUMAN FACTORS SUPPORT TO NASA S HUMAN FLIGHT PROGRAMS. SUCCESSFUL IMPLEMENTATION OF THE REQUIREMENTS OF THIS CONTRACT WILL HELP ASSURE THE FOLLOWING CRITICAL OUTCOMES: RISKS TO CREW HEALTH, SAFETY AND PERFORMANCE DURING ALL PHASES OF SPACEFLIGHT ARE IDENTIFIED AND CHARACTERIZED. ABATEMENT PLANS ARE SUCCESSFULLY DEVELOPED, VALIDATED, AND IMPLEMENTED TO CONTROL THESE RISKS TO WELL-DEFINED, ACCEPTABLE LEVELS. A HUMAN SYSTEMS INTEGRATION APPROACH HAS BEEN TAKEN IN ALL ELEMENTS OF HARDWARE DESIGN AND MISSION OPERATIONS PLANNING AND IMPLEMENTATION. ON THE BASIS OF WELL-DOCUMENTED INFORMATION AND ANALYSES, THE CONTRACTOR SHALL MAKE RECOMMENDATIONS ON CERTIFICATION OF FLIGHT READINESS FOR ALL HUMAN SPACEFLIGHT MISSIONS. THE CONTRACTOR SHALL PROVIDE LABORATORY, TECHNICAL, SCIENTIFIC, AND LOGISTICS SUPPORT FOR FLIGHT AND GROUND-BASED RESEARCH ON SAFE AND PRODUCTIVE HUMAN HABITATION OF SPACE. THIS INCLUDES RESEARCH IN HUMAN HEALTH, ENGINEERING, AND EXPLORATION CONDUCTED ON THE ISS AND IN GROUND-BASED FACILITIES. THE RESEARCH ALSO INCLUDES GROUND-BASED AND FLIGHT STUDIES OF HUMAN ADAPTATION TO MULTIPLE GRAVITY ENVIRONMENTS AND OF COUNTERMEASURES FOR THE DELETERIOUS EFFECTS OF SPACEFLIGHT. THE RESULTS OF THE RESEARCH WILL ENABLE HUMAN EXPLORATION BEYOND LOW EARTH ORBIT (LEO), SUPPORT COMMERCIAL SPACE OPERATIONS AND RESEARCH, AND IMPROVE THE HEALTH, SAFETY AND QUALITY OF LIFE FOR PEOPLE ON EARTH. THE HHPD HAS MANY VARIED PROJECTS SPANNING MULTIPLE NASA CENTERS AND SUPPORTING MULTIPLE NASA PROGRAMS. INNOVATIVE APPROACHES TO SUPPORTING PROJECTS ACROSS MULTIPLE PROGRAMS CAPITALIZING ON CORE COMPETENCIES AND INTEGRATION IS SOUGHT. THE CONTRACTOR SHALL SUPPORT CURRENT AND FUTURE SPACE MISSIONS INVOLVING CREW HEALTH CARE, LIFE SUPPORT, FLIGHT CREW INTEGRATION, FOOD, OPERATIONAL AND RESEARCH MISSION SUPPORT. CURRENT PROJECTS INCLUDE SPACE RADIATION (SR), EXPLORATION MEDICAL CAPABILITY (EXMC), HUMAN HEALTH AND COUNTERMEASURES (HHC), BEHAVIORAL HEALTH AND PERFORMANCE (BHP), SPACE HUMAN FACTORS AND HABITABILITY (SHFH), SPACE CELL BIOLOGY, ISS MEDICAL PROJECT (ISSMP), ISS ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH SYSTEM (EHS), ISS HEALTH MAINTENANCE SYSTEM (HMS), AND ISS COUNTERMEASURES SYSTEM (CMS). THE TYPES OF ACTIVITIES REQUESTED MAY INCLUDE, BUT ARE NOT LIMITED TO ADVANCED STUDIES, ANALYSIS AND TRADE STUDIES, CONCEPT DEFINITION, HUMAN SYSTEM INTEGRATION, SYSTEMS ENGINEERING AND INTEGRATION, MISSION ARCHITECTURE DEFINITION, DESIGN, AND PLANNING, ENGINEERING DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT, MANUFACTURING, TESTING, VERIFICATION, AND CERTIFICATION, SUSTAINING ENGINEERING ACTIVITIES (HARDWARE RESUPPLY, REFURBISHMENT, MISSION HARDWARE SUPPORT ACTIVITIES, FAILURE ANALYSIS, REPAIR, OPERATING PROCEDURES), FLIGHT HARDWARE REQUIREMENTS SURVEY, ASSESSMENT, AND CONSOLIDATION AND ENGINEERING, QUALITY, AND SAFETY ANALYSES
