Joint Safety and Health Institutional Facilities Team (JSHIFT)

The Joint Safety and Health Institutional Facilities Team contract, designated as JSHIFT, is an 8(a) set-aside forecasted for fiscal year 2026, aimed at providing institutional safety and fire services across three major NASA facilities: Langley Research Center, Johnson Space Center, and Goddard Space Flight Center. The contract is classified under NAICS code 541690, which covers other scientific and technical consulting services, indicating a specialized focus on safety, health, and risk management support rather than general construction or maintenance. This opportunity is specifically reserved for small businesses owned and controlled by socially and economically disadvantaged individuals, as defined under the Small Business Administration’s 8(a) program, ensuring equitable access to federal contracting for qualified minority-owned enterprises. Services under this contract will encompass comprehensive institutional safety and fire protection functions tailored to the unique operational environments of NASA's research centers, including but not limited to fire prevention, emergency response coordination, hazard control, regulatory compliance, safety training, and occupational health oversight. The contract is managed by NASA’s Langley Research Center, under the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, and performance is expected to be distributed across the three designated centers without a single consolidated location. While no solicitation number has been issued yet and no point of contact is listed, the forecast serves as a notice to potential 8(a) eligible contractors that a formal procurement is anticipated, allowing them time to prepare proposals and align their capabilities with the anticipated scope of work.
