Independent Technical Review & Peer Validation of ESD Models

The contract entails performing an independent technical review and peer validation of ESD models to verify their accuracy, completeness, and adherence to nuclear safety standards as well as compliance with NSPM-20 requirements. This effort ensures that the engineering system design models meet strict criteria for safety and regulatory compliance, critical for the project's success and risk management. The work will be executed as a subcontract under the NAICS code 541690 and is being managed by the NASA Kennedy Space Center. Scheduled to begin around May 2026, the contract focuses on providing an objective assessment of the models through independent verification and validation (IV&V), strengthening confidence in the technical integrity of the ESD models. While specific location details are limited, the place of performance is associated with a ZIP code 90277, and the overarching goal is to maintain the highest standards of safety and technical rigor in accordance with nuclear safety protocols and established guidelines like NSPM-20.
