On Jan. 27, NASA notified its Human Landing System (HLS) contractors that a no-cost extension to each of their base period contracts will be required. The current 10-month base period contracts were set to conclude Feb. 28, 2021, and the agency plans to execute contract modifications to extend that period of performance through April 30, 2021. The timing of this extension is designed to allow NASA to complete the Option A evaluation, selection and award process and to preserve the ability to seamlessly transition from the base period contracts to the Option A contracts. However, NASA may not need the full extension period to complete those activities, in which case the agency will execute Option A awards and transition to Option A performance as soon as the source selection has concluded. This extension is an administrative change and allows the three selected U.S. companies to continue HLS design and development activities as set forth in the firms' base period contracts, awarded in May 2020. Developing the human landing system (HLS) is a key component of successfully executing crewed demonstration missions to the lunar surface under the Artemis program. NASA is committed to establishing a sustained lunar presence, and this procurement action is consistent with the agency's strategy to uphold that commitment. HLS awards under the Next Space Technologies for Exploration Partnerships (NextSTEP-2) Appendix H Broad Agency Announcement are firm-fixed price, milestone-based contracts.
