Pursuits Registry 2.0 Rebuild Requirement

National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Ames Research Center (ARC) is hereby soliciting information under this Request for Information (RFI) to determine whether or not there are interested and available vendor sources capable of meeting the identified requirements. This document is for information and planning purposes only and to allow industry the opportunity to verify reasonableness and feasibility of the requirement, as well as promote competition. NASA/ARC is interested in identifying sources that are capable of updating the Ames Pursuits Registry. Pursuit Registry provides a dynamic overview of Ames partnerships, permitting center management to make informed decisions about strategic opportunities and to help manage relationships between Ames and other NASA centers and NASA headquarters. The web application that supports the Pursuits Registry is a comprehensive Centerwide database designed to track and archive all "pursuit" activities at the NASA Ames Research Center. A detailed description of the registry and requirements are provided in the attachment titled "Pursuits Registry 2.0 Rebuild Requirement" Pursuits activities include: - Space Act Agreements (reimbursable, non-reimbursable, umbrella, interagency, international) - Center Level Investment Fund (CLIF) requests - Enhanced Use Lease (EUL) Agreements - Events (particularly large events, events with high-visibility partners, or events expecting media attention) - Military Interdepartmental Purchase Requests (MIPRs) - Permits (i.e. Airfield Use Permits) - Proposals (NASA solicited, government solicited, non-government solicited) - Research collaborations - Any other potential activities or formal relationships involving NASA Ames and a non-NASA entity - Any modifications or amendments to existing permits, leases, space act agreements or formal relationships between NASA Ames and a non-NASA entity All data entered into the Pursuits Registry is handled as sensitive data and that access to this data is limited to center management review teams and, in some cases, NASA headquarters.
