What is Enterprise Applications Services ?

• Enterprise Applications Services are comprehensive services for Enterprise Applications operations, maintenance, enhancement and end-user support. under OCIO’s I3P. It supports a broad range of key Business and Mission- Supporting platforms, application s and infrastructure used across the Agency., such as financial management, procurement, logistics and travel management.

What is EAST?

The Enterprise Applications Service Technologies (EAST)contract is a firm-fixed-price contract to provide support to the NASA Enterprise Applications Competency Center (NEACC). Those services previously provided to the NEACC under a cost-plus-award-fee UNITeS contract were transitioned to the EAST contract effective February 1, 2011.

• The Enterprise Applications Service Technologies (EAST) is a firm-fixed price contract to provide support to the NASA Enterprise Applications Competency Center (NEACC).

• Base Period of Performance: 2/1/11 – 1/31/13; Value $85.64M Option Period 1: 2/1/13 – 1/31/15; Value $85.04M Option Period 2: 2/1/15 – 1/31/16; Value $43.25M •Annual Contract Value for the basic contract is as follows:

• The contract also has an ID/IQ feature which has a $100M limit over the life of the contract. Total contract value is $314M.

Basic EAST Information• The EAST contract includes an approach for measuring capacity and throughput in

terms of Application Points.– Contractor-provided systems enable planning and tracking work at a granular level, and

reporting at various granular or summary levels.

• The contract has established upper and lower limits (bands) for monthly throughput for both maintenance and enhancement work. There is also a ID/IQ task order capability to acquire new application development.

• The contract Scope of Work incorporates separate Performance Work Statement (PWS) elements for applications maintenance and applications enhancement.

• Provisions in the contract allow for pricing adjustments in case throughput falls outside the established bands.

• The contract includes additional service level standards which complement standards already in place with NASA product owners and Centers.

• A six-month stabilization period will provide actual operational data for making adjustments to bands and Application Point assessment criteria.

Expected Benefits of EAST Contract• NASA Gained the Ability to:

– Apply a consistent methodology– Track each work item (SR/CR) from cradle to grave– Maximize utilization of scarce resources

– Assess/reassess priorities and alternatives with concrete data– Quantify the actual cost of application operations, maintenance and enhancements– Monitor requirements, cost and schedule– Identify performance improvement areas

– Provide innovative alternatives/solutions– Develop efficiencies across all application functions– Provide best value to NASA for its enterprise applications
