Mission Enabling Services Contract (MESC) IIThe Mission Enabling Services Contract II (MESC II) is a three-part contracting vehicle designed to support the Johnson Space Center’s Flight Operations Directorate and its affiliated organizations with specialized mission-enabling applications and services. It includes two single-award baselines—NAMIS Services and Spaceflight Enabling Services—that address known, ongoing government requirements independent of any task orders. These baselines ensure continuous support for critical flight-related functions. Alongside the baselines, the contract features a multiple-award Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) component that accommodates new and evolving tasks not already covered by the baselines, allowing for flexible acquisition of innovative or unforeseen mission support capabilities across a broad scope of work. MESC II enables the development, sustainment, and maintenance of highly specialized systems and services essential to NASA’s flight operations, serving not only internal JSC needs but also external partners including other NASA centers, international space agencies, other government entities, and commercial collaborators. The contract is managed under NAICS code 541512 and is forecasted for release on July 1, 2027, with primary performance occurring in Houston, Texas. Point of contact for program inquiries is Erin E. Moeller, and the Small Business Specialist is Tumarrow Romain, ensuring accessibility for small business engagement. The contract does not specify a set-aside type and is issued under the National Aeronautics and Space Administration.
