**[Preface]{.underline}**

P.1 Purpose

The Center Institutional Safety Services (CISS) contract provides safety
and fire protection services to support the National Aeronautics and
Space Administration's (NASA) Johnson Space Center (JSC) in
accomplishing its institutional safety program objectives. Major areas
of the contract include safety, fire protection, training, maintenance
of fire protection systems, test safety, safety information systems, and
special projects. The contractor will specifically support the JSC
Safety and Test Operations Division whose mission is to help line
management and employees in reducing and preventing injuries to NASA
personnel and damage to NASA equipment.

P.2 Work Environment

The primary work areas for this contract are aerospace facilities at the
NASA Johnson Space Center, Houston, Texas, and related operations at
Ellington Field (EF), Houston, Texas, and Sonny Carter Training Facility
(SCTF), Houston, Texas. EF and SCTF are considered part of JSC.
Intermittent support may be required at other sites for which JSC has
responsibility such as the Forward Operating Location (FOL), El Paso,
Texas; the White Sands Test (WSTF) Facility, Las Cruces, New Mexico; and
other continental United States sites. Safety support may also be
required at locations where JSC has interests such as offsite contractor
locations, other NASA centers, and non-NASA locations (both foreign and
domestic).

Much of the work under the contract will be performed in an office
environment on-site at JSC. The nature of the work shall require
contractor personnel to enter other JSC work areas such as laboratories,
hazardous facilities, construction areas, and machine shops. Contractor
personnel will interface directly with other JSC personnel, including
senior management and contractor personnel.

P.3 Scope

It is a NASA priority to avoid loss of life, personal injury or illness,
property loss or damage,

or environmental harm and to follow all applicable federal, state, and
local regulations. At JSC, safety and health is the responsibility of
both line management and employees. The Safety and Test Operations
Division, with support from the CISS Contractor, provides guidance and
help as needed, ensures that line management is fulfilling its safety
responsibilities, and maintains JSC fire protection systems. Work
includes consultation, audits, surveys, inspection, training, management
reviews, investigations, engineering analysis, and development and
