JETS II
JSC Engineering, Technology and Science II
Program Context
JSC anchors human spaceflight engineering, from crew vehicle systems and life support to flight operations and human-rated hardware qualification.
Location & Facility
Johnson Space Center, Houston, TX
Public Mission Scope
Engineering, technology development, and science support across human spaceflight systems including crew vehicles, habitation, life support, robotics, and human-rated hardware.
Contract Structure & Scale
Cost-plus-fixed-fee with task order execution across JSC engineering directorates. Estimated scale band: $500M–$1B+.
Public Incumbent Landscape
Human spaceflight engineering services at JSC have historically been consolidated under large engineering providers with substantial subcontract teams.
Incumbent of Record (Public Award Data)
NASA announced in June 2022 that the JSC Engineering, Technology, and Science (JETS) II contract was awarded to Jacobs Technology Inc. The associated engineering services business subsequently moved to Amentum, and public award records list the indefinite-delivery vehicle under Amentum Technology.
Prior Award History
- JETS I — Jacobs Technology Inc. — Predecessor JSC engineering, technology, and science services vehicle.
Procurement Timeline
Awarded June 2022 as an indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity vehicle with base and option ordering periods. Recompete timing is not publicly confirmed; monitor SAM.gov and JSC acquisition forecasts.
Evaluation Drivers
- Human-rating and safety engineering discipline
- Technical staffing depth and retention
- Hardware development past performance
- Configuration management rigor
- Small business participation
Capture Notes (Public-Source Observations)
- Human-rated hardware environments weight mission assurance methodology and key personnel qualifications heavily in published evaluation criteria.
- Task-order vehicles of this type reward demonstrated surge staffing and retention approaches across a wide technical discipline spread.
- Subcontract participation is a realistic entry path on large center-wide engineering services vehicles.
Our Alignment
Aligned with mission assurance discipline and human-rated hardware qualification environments where risk-aware engineering and configuration control govern execution.
AI-Enabled Capture Support
ProposalA.I.â„¢ supports large human spaceflight services proposals with structured compliance matrices and past performance narrative generation.
Teaming Value
Positioned for subcontract roles in analysis, test engineering, and mission assurance work scopes supporting prime teams at JSC.
