Award for Highly Modified Ford F-59 Vehicle for Artemis Closeout Crew Operations

NASA Kennedy Space Center is awarding a contract for a highly modified Ford F-59 vehicle to support Artemis mission launch operations. - The vehicle is uniquely configured with mission-specific modifications for the Exploration Ground Systems (EGS) Closeout Crew. - These modifications are critical for Artemis launch processing and cannot be replicated or replaced in time. - The procurement is for one used, highly modified Ford F-59 vehicle currently under lease. - The acquisition is justified by unusual and compelling urgency to avoid disruption to Artemis mission readiness and launch schedules. - The estimated contract value is approximately $70,000. - No specific contract duration or option years are mentioned; the need is immediate. - The administrative action involved rescinding a previous purchase order and issuing a replacement, with no change to requirement, scope, pricing, or contractor. - No specific OEMs or vendors are named beyond Ford as the base vehicle manufacturer.

Note: The attached JOFOC references PO 80KSC026P0011. Following award processing, a system obligation issue required rescission of PO 80KSC026P0011 and issuance of replacement PO 80KSC026P0014. This was an administrative action only and did not change the requirement, scope, pricing, or contractor.
