SECTION C. DESCRIPTION/SPECIFICATIONS/STATEMENT OF WORK
C.1 SPECIFICATION/STATEMENT OF WORK
The purpose of the Commercial Crew Program (CCP) is to facilitate the development of a U.S.
commercial crew space transportation capability with the goal of achieving safe, reliable and cost
effective access to and from low Earth orbit (LEO) including the International Space Station (ISS)
no later than 2017. Once the capability is matured and available, NASA intends to purchase
commercial crew transportation services to meet its ISS crew rotation and emergency return needs.
NASA is using a two-phased acquisition to certify fully integrated Crew Transportation Systems
(CTS) that meet specified NASA safety and ISS requirements and standards, and begin missions to
the ISS. Phase 1, the Certification Products Contract (CPC), requires delivery and disposition of
specified early lifecycle plans and products that address CTS compliance with NASA’s standards
and requirements for an ISS design reference mission. The CPC deliverables mature in parallel
with the maturation of the CTS design. Phase 2, the Commercial Crew Transportation Capability
(CCtCap), is the requirement of this contract as described below.
Requirements:
The Contractor shall complete the design, development, test, evaluation, and certification of an
integrated CTS capable of transporting NASA crew to and from the ISS, in accordance with the

contract. Certification of the CTS shall be determined by NASA. The Contractor shall provide
special studies for risk reduction and other purposes related to its CTS, to the extent ordered under
CLIN 003 of this contract. The Contractor shall also provide complete, initial Post Certification
Missions to and from ISS including ground, launch, on-orbit, return and recovery operations, as
ordered by IDIQ tasks under this contract.
(a) The Contractor shall provide all facilities, resources, personnel, items or services necessary to
perform the requirements specified in Section B, Supplies or Services and Prices/Costs (except for
Government furnished property as listed in clause G.6, NFS 1852.245-76, List Of Government

Federal, State, and local laws applicable to safety and occupational health and with the safety and
occupational health standards, specifications, reporting requirements, and any other relevant
requirements of this contract.
(c) The Contractor shall take, or cause to be taken, any other safety, and occupational health
measures the Contracting Officer may reasonably direct. To the extent that the Contractor may be
entitled to an equitable adjustment for those measures under the terms and conditions of this
contract, the equitable adjustment shall be determined pursuant to the procedures of the Changes
clause of this contract; provided, that no adjustment shall be made under this Safety and Health
clause for any change for which an equitable adjustment is expressly provided under any other
clause of the contract.
(d) The Contracting Officer may notify the Contractor in writing of any noncompliance with this

(b) The Contractor agrees to perform or have performed work on the items specified in paragraph
(a) of this clause up to the point at which, if this contract is terminated pursuant to the Termination
for Convenience of the Government clause of this contract, the total amount payable by the
Government (including amounts payable for subcontracts and settlement costs) pursuant to
paragraphs (f) and (g) of that clause would, in the exercise of reasonable judgment by the
Contractor, approximate the total amount at the time allotted to the contract. The Contractor is
not obligated to continue performance of the work beyond that point. The Government is not
obligated in any event to pay or reimburse the Contractor more than the amount from time to time
allotted to the contract, anything to the contrary in the Termination for Convenience of the
Government clause notwithstanding.
(c) (1) It is contemplated that funds presently allotted to this contract will cover the work to be
performed until December 15, 2014.
(2) If funds allotted are considered by the Contractor to be inadequate to cover the work to be
performed until that date, or an agreed date substituted for it, the Contractor shall notify the
Contracting Officer in writing when within the next 60 days the work will reach a point at which, if
the contract is terminated pursuant to the Termination for Convenience of the Government clause
of this contract, the total amount payable by the Government (including amounts payable for
subcontracts and settlement costs) pursuant to paragraphs (f) and (g) of that clause will
approximate 75 percent of the total amount then allotted to the contract.
(3) (i) The notice shall state the estimate when the point referred to in paragraph (c) (2) of
this clause will be reached and the estimated amount of additional funds required to continue
performance to the date specified in paragraph (c) (1) of this clause, or an agreed date substituted
for it.
(ii) The Contractor shall, 60 days in advance of the date specified in paragraph (c) (1)
of this clause, or an agreed date substituted for it, advise the Contracting Officer in writing as to the
estimated amount of additional funds required for the timely performance of the contract for a
further period as may be specified in the contract or otherwise agreed to by the parties.
(4) If, after the notification referred to in paragraph (c) (3) (ii) of this clause, additional funds
are not allotted by the date specified in paragraph (c) (1) of this clause, or an agreed date
substituted for it, the Contracting Officer shall, upon the Contractor’s written request, terminate
this contract on that date or on the date set forth in the request, whichever is later, pursuant to the
Termination for Convenience of the Government clause.
(d) When additional funds are allotted from time to time for continued performance of the work
under this contract, the parties shall agree on the applicable period of contract performance to be
covered by these funds. The provisions of paragraphs (b) and (c) of this clause shall apply to
these additional allotted funds and the substituted date pertaining to them, and the contract shall be
modified accordingly.

Page 31 of 112
(e) If, solely by reason of the Government's failure to allot additional funds in amounts sufficient
for the timely performance of this contract, the Contractor incurs additional costs or is delayed in
the performance of the work under this contract, and if additional funds are allotted, an equitable
adjustment shall be made in the price or prices (including appropriate target, billing, and ceiling
prices where applicable) of the items to be delivered, or in the time of delivery, or both.
(f) The Government may at any time before termination, and, with the consent of the Contractor,
after notice of termination, allot additional funds for this contract.
(g) The provisions of this clause with respect to termination shall in no way be deemed to limit the
rights of the Government under the default clause of this contract. The provisions of this
Limitation of Funds clause are limited to the work on and allotment of funds for the items set forth
in paragraph (a) of this clause. This clause shall become inoperative upon the allotment of funds
for the total price of said work except for rights and obligations then existing under this clause.
(h) Nothing in this clause shall affect the right of the Government to terminate this contract
pursuant to the Termination for Convenience of the Government clause of this contract.

of the Contractor’s insurance or financial capability required under paragraph (f) below. This
reciprocal waiver of claims shall not apply to rights and obligations arising from the application of
any of the other clauses in the contract or to rights and obligations arising from activities that are
not within the scope of this contract.
(2) Pursuant to paragraph (c)(2), the Contractor shall extend this waiver of claims to its
Related Entities by requiring them, by contract or otherwise, to waive all claims against the
Government and its Related Entities. For avoidance of doubt, the Contractor shall require its
Passengers and Commercial Cargo Customers, as defined in clause H.23 of this contract, to waive
claims against the Government and the Government’s Related Entities; however, the Government

damage to all on orbit ISS structures, modules, and systems required for functionality of the ISS,
during Launch Services, Reentry Services, or transportation to, from, in proximity of, or docking
with the ISS under this contract; and (b) damage or loss resulting from the willful misconduct of
the Government or its employees. For purposes of this paragraph (f), “preparation” of a Launch
Vehicle or Transfer Vehicle includes test, assembly, integration or operations of the Launch
Vehicle, Transfer Vehicle or their Payloads on a Government installation. Such insurance shall
be an amount up to $100 million, or the maximum amount available in the market at reasonable
cost, subject to approval by the Contracting Officer. Financial capability, if authorized by the
Contracting Officer, shall be in the amount of $100 million. The Contractor shall provide
acceptable evidence of the insurance or financial capability to the Contracting Officer, subject to
Contracting Officer approval. Insurance policies shall name the United States Government as an
NNK14MA74C - Commercial Crew Transportation Capability (CCtCap) Contract
Page 36 of 112
additional insured party. Once approved by the Contracting Officer, insurance policies may not
be modified or canceled without the prior, written approval of the Contracting Officer.

disqualification, or dismissal of any employee in a sensitive position in any instance where a test
conducted and confirmed under the Contractor's program indicates that such individual has used,
in violation of applicable law or Federal regulation, alcohol or a controlled substance.
(2) The Contractor's program shall further prohibit any such individual from working in a
sensitive position on a NASA contract, unless such individual has completed a program of
rehabilitation described in paragraph (d) of this clause.
(3) The Contractor's program shall further prohibit any such individual from working in any

as a minimum, provide for the identification and opportunity for treatment of employees whose
duties include responsibility for safety-sensitive, security, or National security functions who are
in need of assistance in resolving problems with the use of alcohol or controlled substances.
(e) The requirements of this clause shall take precedence over any state or local Government laws,
rules, regulations, ordinances, standards, or orders that are inconsistent with the requirements of
this clause.
(f) For any collective bargaining agreement, the Contractor will negotiate the terms of its program
with employee representatives, as appropriate, under labor relations laws or negotiated
agreements. Such negotiation, however, cannot change the requirements of this clause.
Employees covered under collective bargaining agreements will not be subject to the requirements
of this clause until those agreements have been modified, as necessary; provided, however, that if
one year after commencement of negotiation the parties have failed to reach agreement, an
impasse will be determined to have been reached and the Contractor will unilaterally implement
the requirements of this clause.
(g) The Contractor shall insert a clause containing all the terms of this clause, including this
paragraph (g), in all subcontracts in which work is performed by an employee in a sensitive
position, except subcontracts for commercial items (see FAR Parts 2 and 12).

Document (IRD).
(f) Result of Insight
(1) Insight should result in an effective working relationship between the Government and
the Contractor leading to a NASA certification of the Contractor’s CTS. Should insight and/or
JTT participation identify non-compliance with CCT-REQ-1130, CCT-PLN-1120, and/or SSP
50808; the terms and conditions of the contract; or a difference in interpretation of test results; or
disagreement with the Contractor’s technical approach; the Government insight team will elevate
the issue through the appropriate CCP boards. Through an effective, functioning relationship, the
Government and Contractor should strive to resolve issues at the lowest working level and
minimize issues elevated to program boards. Program boards will disposition recommendations
in a timely manner and provide oversight resolution if necessary. Resulting board decisions and
direction will be transmitted to the Contractor through the Contracting Officer. If disposition
results in a requirement change, the change clause (I.2, FAR 52.243-1, Changes-Fixed Price)
would take effect. If the Contractor and Contracting Officer disagree on whether the board
disposition provided is within the requirements of the contract, the disputes clause (I.2, FAR
52-233-1, Disputes-Alternate I) is applicable.
(2) The data generated as a result of Government insight may be used, modified, reproduced,
released, performed, displayed, or disclosed within the Government and its support service
contractors under suitable protected conditions. The Government may not, without written
permission of the Contractor, release or disclose the data outside the Government, except as
otherwise required by law, use the technical data for manufacture, or authorize the technical data to
be used by a party outside the Government.
(g) Contractor Responsibility
Notwithstanding the insight set forth in this Clause, the Contractor assumes full performance
responsibility as set forth in this contract. The Government’s insight or JTT participation under
his clause shall not be construed as authorization, endorsement or approval of milestones,
certification or final acceptance or rejection of Post Certification Mission success.

such emblems/devices without prior NASA review and approval in accordance with such
regulations.
(d) NASA does not endorse or sponsor any commercial product, service, or activity. NASA's
certification of the CTS under this Contract does not constitute certification or endorsement by
NASA that the CTS is safe for public transportation of humans to Low Earth Orbit. NASA’s CTS
certification means the Contractor’s CTS has met NASA’s safety requirements for transporting
NASA or NASA-sponsored crew to the ISS. The Contractor agrees that nothing in this Contract
will be construed to imply that NASA authorizes supports, endorses, or sponsors any product or
service of the Contractor resulting from activities conducted under this Contract.

Certification Review (MCR). In the event that an agreement cannot be reached, the Contracting
Officer will establish the criteria and payment percentage by the Flight Readiness Review. The
revised criteria will be incorporated into a Task Order revision. The MCR shall include
Contractor plans for providing data to confirm mission success as part of the post flight report.
(3) Mission Success Criteria will be established per the following guidelines:
(i) Criteria will consider the Contractor’s mission capabilities.
(ii) Criteria will consider the Contractor’s performance, independent of NASA’s.
(iii) Criteria will consider ascent aborts or earlier than pre-launch planned
End-Of-Mission timeframe, contingency spacecraft crew support, and inability to dock with the
ISS.
(4) Definitions.
(i) Full Mission Success - meeting all primary objectives and secondary objectives;
(ii) Mission Failure – loss of one or more primary objectives, serious injury or fatality
as defined in H.26, Mishap Reporting, or damage to the ISS;
(iii) Partial mission success – all primary mission objectives satisfied but loss of one or
more secondary mission objectives.
(b) Mission Success Determination
(1) Mission Success Determination will be made using the mission success criteria and the
corresponding data and parameters that are jointly agreed to by NASA and the Contractor.
(2) The Contractor shall submit the relevant data and parameters that provide the most
accurate information on performance of the mission success criteria, at the Mission Integration
Review (MIR). The types of data NASA would consider as relevant information include:

and Payment Schedule, as well as the Contractor’s compliance with the terms of the contract,
including performance of PWS and deliverable requirements. The delivery-milestone payments
are not financing payments and unlike interim-milestone payments, once made, are not subject to
repayment by the Contractor if the conditions defined in FAR 52.232-32 (j), Special terms
regarding default, apply.
Generally, milestone payment will be paid in succession. All preceding payment events shall be

agreement on price or the date of the award, whichever is later, the Contractor may submit a
written request for exception by submitting the information described in the following
subparagraphs. The Contracting Officer may require additional supporting information, but only
to the extent necessary to determine whether an exception should be granted, and whether the price
is fair and reasonable –
(i) Identification of the law or regulation establishing the price offered. If the price is
controlled under law by periodic rulings, reviews, or similar actions of a governmental body,
attach a copy of the controlling document, unless it was previously submitted to the contracting
office.
(ii) Information on modifications of contracts or subcontracts for commercial items.
(A) If --

acquisition of a commercial item; and
(2) The modification (to the contract or subcontract) is not exempted based
on one of these exceptions, then the Contractor may provide information to establish that the
modification would not change the contract or subcontract from a contract or subcontract for the
acquisition of a commercial item to a contract or subcontract for the acquisition of an item other
than a commercial item.
(B) For a commercial item exception, the Contractor shall provide, at a minimum,
information on prices at which the same item or similar items have previously been sold that is

quotation or other basis for market price, the base amount, and applicable discounts. In addition,
describe the nature of the market.

Schedule contract, proof that an exception has been granted for the schedule item.
(2) The Contractor grants the Contracting Officer or an authorized representative the right to
examine, at any time before award, books, records, documents, or other directly pertinent records
to verify any request for an exception under this clause, and the reasonableness of price. For
items priced using catalog or market prices, or law or regulation, access does not extend to cost or
profit information or other data relevant solely to the Contractor’s determination of the prices to be
offered in the catalog or marketplace.
(b) Requirements for certified cost or pricing data. If the Contractor is not granted an exception
from the requirement to submit certified cost or pricing data, the following applies:
(1) The Contractor shall submit certified cost or pricing data, data other than certified cost or
pricing data, and supporting attachments in accordance with the instruction contained in Table
15-2 of FAR 15.408, which is incorporated by reference with the same force and effect as though it

format to be used in this contract, unless the Contracting Officer and the Contractor agree to a
different format and change this clause to use Alternate I.

actions), the Contractor shall submit a Certificate of Current Cost or Pricing Data, as prescribed by

CONTRACTOR (SHORT FORM).
(a) As used in this clause -
"Invention" means any invention or discovery that is or may be patentable or otherwise protectable
under title 35 of the U.S. Code, or any variety of plant that is or may be protectable under the Plant
Variety Protection Act (7 U.S.C. 2321, et seq.)
"Made" means –
(1) When used in relation to any invention other than a plant variety, the conception or first
actual reduction to practice of the invention; or
(2) When used in relation to a plant variety, that the Contractor has at least tentatively
determined that the variety has been reproduced with recognized characteristics.
"Nonprofit organization" means a university or other institution of higher education or an
organization of the type described in section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1954 (26
U.S.C. 501(c)) and exempt from taxation under section 501(a) of the Internal Revenue Code (26
U.S.C. 501(a)), or any nonprofit scientific or educational organization qualified under a State
nonprofit organization statute.
"Practical application" means to manufacture, in the case of a composition of product; to practice,
in the case of a process or method; or to operate, in the case of a machine or system; and, in each
case, under such conditions as to establish that the invention is being utilized and that its benefits
are, to the extent permitted by law or Government regulations, available to the public on
reasonable terms.
"Subject invention" means any invention of the Contractor made in the performance of work under
this contract.
(b) Contractor's rights.
(1) Ownership. The Contractor may retain ownership of each subject invention throughout
the world in accordance with the provisions of this clause.
(2) License.
(i) The Contractor shall retain a nonexclusive royalty-free license throughout the
world in each subject invention to which the Government obtains title, unless the Contractor fails
to disclose the invention within the times specified in paragraph (c) of this clause. The
Contractor's license extends to any domestic subsidiaries and affiliates within the corporate
structure of which the Contractor is a part, and includes the right to grant sublicenses to the extent
the Contractor was legally obligated to do so at contract award. The license is transferable only
NNK14MA74C - Commercial Crew Transportation Capability (CCtCap) Contract
Page 84 of 112
with the written approval of the agency, except when transferred to the successor of that part of the
Contractor's business to which the invention pertains.
(ii) The Contractor's license may be revoked or modified by the agency to the extent
necessary to achieve expeditious practical application of the subject invention in a particular
country in accordance with the procedures in FAR 27.302(i)(2) and 27.304-1(f).
(c) Contractor's obligations.
(1) The Contractor shall disclose in writing each subject invention to the Contracting Officer
within 2 months after the inventor discloses it in writing to Contractor personnel responsible for
patent matters. The disclosure shall identify the inventor(s) and this contract under which the
subject invention was made. It shall be sufficiently complete in technical detail to convey a clear
understanding of the subject invention. The disclosure shall also identify any publication, on sale
(i.e., sale or offer for sale), or public use of the subject invention, or whether a manuscript
describing the subject invention has been submitted for publication and, if so, whether it has been
accepted for publication. In addition, after disclosure to the agency, the Contractor shall promptly
notify the Contracting Officer of the acceptance of any manuscript describing the subject invention
for publication and any on sale or public use.
(2) The Contractor shall elect in writing whether or not to retain ownership of any subject
invention by notifying the Contracting Officer within 2 years of disclosure to the agency.
However, in any case where publication, on sale, or public use has initiated the 1-year statutory
period during which valid patent protection can be obtained in the United States, the period for
election of title may be shortened by the agency to a date that is no more than 60 days prior to the
end of the statutory period.
(3) The Contractor shall file either a provisional or a nonprovisional patent application or a
Plant Variety Protection Application on an elected subject invention within 1 year after election.
However, in any case where a publication, on sale, or public use has initiated the 1-year statutory
period during which valid patent protection can be obtained in the United States, the Contractor
shall file the application prior to the end of that statutory period. If the Contractor files a
provisional application, it shall file a nonprovisional application within 10 months of the filing of
the provisional application. The Contractor shall file patent applications in additional countries
or international patent offices within either 10 months of the first filed patent application (whether
provisional or nonprovisional) or 6 months from the date permission is granted by the
Commissioner of Patents to file foreign patent applications where such filing has been prohibited
by a Secrecy Order.
(4) The Contractor may request extensions of time for disclosure, election, or filing under
paragraphs (c)(1), (c)(2), and (c)(3) of this clause.
(5) The Contractor may use whatever format is convenient to disclose subject inventions
required in subparagraph (c) (1). NASA prefers that the Contractor use either the electronic or
paper version of NASA Form 1679, Disclosure of Invention and New Technology (Including
Software) to disclose subject inventions. Both the electronic and paper versions of NASA Form
NNK14MA74C - Commercial Crew Transportation Capability (CCtCap) Contract
Page 85 of 112
1679 may be accessed at the electronic New Technology Reporting Web site
http://invention.nasa.gov.
(d) Government's rights –
(1) Ownership. The Contractor shall assign to the agency, on written request, title to any
subject invention –
(i) If the Contractor fails to disclose or elect ownership to the subject invention within
the times specified in paragraph (c) of this clause, or elects not to retain ownership; provided, that
the agency may request title only within 60 days after learning of the Contractor's failure to
disclose or elect within the specified times.
(ii) In those countries in which the Contractor fails to file patent applications within the
times specified in paragraph (c) of this clause; provided, however, that if the Contractor has filed a
patent application in a country after the times specified in paragraph (c) of this clause, but prior to
its receipt of the written request of the agency, the Contractor shall continue to retain ownership in
that country.
(iii) In any country in which the Contractor decides not to continue the prosecution of
any application for, to pay the maintenance fees on, or defend in reexamination or opposition
proceeding on, a patent on a subject invention.
(2) License. If the Contractor retains ownership of any subject invention, the Government
shall have a nonexclusive, nontransferable, irrevocable, paid-up license to practice, or have
practiced for or on its behalf, the subject invention throughout the world.
(e) Contractor action to protect the Government's interest.
(1) The Contractor shall execute or have executed and promptly deliver to the agency all
instruments necessary to –
(i) Establish or confirm the rights the Government has throughout the world in those
subject inventions in which the Contractor elects to retain ownership; and
(ii) Assign title to the agency when requested under paragraph (d) of this clause and to
enable the Government to obtain patent protection and plant variety protection for that subject
invention in any country.
(2) The Contractor shall require, by written agreement, its employees, other than clerical and
nontechnical employees, to disclose promptly in writing to personnel identified as responsible for
the administration of patent matters and in the Contractor's format, each subject invention in order
that the Contractor can comply with the disclosure provisions of paragraph (c) of this clause, and
to execute all papers necessary to file patent applications on subject inventions and to establish the
Government's rights in the subject inventions. The disclosure format should require, as a
minimum, the information required by paragraph (c)(1) of this clause. The Contractor shall
NNK14MA74C - Commercial Crew Transportation Capability (CCtCap) Contract
Page 86 of 112
instruct such employees, through employee agreements or other suitable educational programs, as
to the importance of reporting inventions in sufficient time to permit the filing of patent
applications prior to U.S. or foreign statutory bars.
(3) The Contractor shall notify the Contracting Officer of any decisions not to file a
nonprovisional patent application, continue the prosecution of a patent application, pay
maintenance fees, or defend in a reexamination or opposition proceeding on a patent, in any
country, not less than 30 days before the expiration of the response or filing period required by the
relevant patent office.
(4) The Contractor shall include, within the specification of any United States
nonprovisional patent or plant variety protection application and any patent or plant variety
protection certificate issuing thereon covering a subject invention, the following statement, "This
invention was made with Government support under (identify the contract) awarded by (identify
the agency). The Government has certain rights in the invention."
(5) The Contractor shall provide the Contracting Officer the following:
(i) A listing every 12 months (or such longer period as the Contracting Officer may
specify) from the date of the contract, of all subject inventions required to be disclosed during the
period.
(ii) A final report prior to closeout of the contract listing all subject inventions or
certifying that there were none.
(iii) Upon request, the filing date, serial number and title, a copy of the patent
application, and patent number and issue date for any subject invention in any country in which the
Contractor has applied for patents.
(iv) An irrevocable power to inspect and make copies of the patent application file, by
the Government, when a Federal Government employee is a coinventor.
(f) Reporting on utilization of subject inventions. The Contractor shall submit, on request,
periodic reports no more frequently than annually on the utilization of a subject invention or on
efforts at obtaining utilization of the subject invention that are being made by the Contractor or its
licensees or assignees. The reports shall include information regarding the status of development,
date of first commercial sale or use, gross royalties received by the Contractor, and other data and
information as the agency may reasonably specify. The Contractor also shall provide additional
reports as may be requested by the agency in connection with any march-in proceeding undertaken
by the agency in accordance with paragraph (h) of this clause. The Contractor also shall mark any
utilization report as confidential/proprietary to help prevent inadvertent release outside the
Government. As required by 35 U.S.C. 202(c)(5), the agency will not disclose that information to
persons outside the Government without the Contractor's permission.
(g) Preference for United States industry. Notwithstanding any other provision of this clause,
neither the Contractor nor any assignee shall grant to any person the exclusive right to use or sell
NNK14MA74C - Commercial Crew Transportation Capability (CCtCap) Contract
Page 87 of 112
any subject invention in the United States unless the person agrees that any products embodying
the subject invention or produced through the use of the subject invention will be manufactured
substantially in the United States. However, in individual cases, the requirement for an
agreement may be waived by the agency upon a showing by the Contractor or its assignee that
reasonable but unsuccessful efforts have been made to grant licenses on similar terms to potential
licensees that would be likely to manufacture substantially in the United States, or that under the
circumstances domestic manufacture is not commercially feasible.
(h) March-in rights. The Contractor acknowledges that, with respect to any subject invention in
which it has retained ownership, the agency has the right to require licensing pursuant to 35 U.S.C.
203 and 210(c), and in accordance with the procedures in 37 CFR 401.6 and any supplemental
regulations of the agency in effect on the date of contract award.
(i) Special provisions for contracts with nonprofit organizations. If the Contractor is a nonprofit
organization, it shall –
(1) Not assign rights to a subject invention in the United States without the written approval
of the agency, except where an assignment is made to an organization that has as one of its primary
functions the management of inventions, provided, that the assignee shall be subject to the same
provisions as the Contractor;
(2) Share royalties collected on a subject invention with the inventor, including Federal
employee co-inventors (but through their agency if the agency deems it appropriate) when the
subject invention is assigned in accordance with 35 U.S.C. 202(e) and 37 CFR 401.10;
(3) Use the balance of any royalties or income earned by the Contractor with respect to
subject inventions, after payment of expenses (including payments to inventors) incidental to the
administration of subject inventions for the support of scientific research or education; and
(4) Make efforts that are reasonable under the circumstances to attract licensees of subject
inventions that are small business concerns, and give a preference to a small business concern
when licensing a subject invention if the Contractor determines that the small business concern has
a plan or proposal for marketing the invention which, if executed, is equally as likely to bring the
invention to practical application as any plans or proposals from applicants that are not small
business concerns; provided, that the Contractor is also satisfied that the small business concern
has the capability and resources to carry out its plan or proposal. The decision whether to give a
preference in any specific case will be at the discretion of the Contractor.
(5) Allow the Secretary of Commerce to review the Contractor's licensing program and
decisions regarding small business applicants, and negotiate changes to its licensing policies,
procedures, or practices with the Secretary of Commerce when the Secretary's review discloses
that the Contractor could take reasonable steps to more effectively implement the requirements of
paragraph (i)(4) of this clause.
(j) Communications. The Contractor shall contact the Contracting Officer for any
communications regarding this clause.
NNK14MA74C - Commercial Crew Transportation Capability (CCtCap) Contract
Page 88 of 112
(k) Subcontracts.
(1) The Contractor shall include the substance of this clause, including this paragraph (k), in
all subcontracts for experimental, developmental, or research work to be performed by a small
business concern or nonprofit organization.
(2) The Contractor shall include the clause in the NASA FAR Supplement at 1852.227-70,
New Technology, suitably modified to identify the parties, in all subcontracts, regardless of tier,
for experimental, developmental, research, design, or engineering work to be performed by other
than a small business firm or nonprofit organization.
(3) At all tiers, the patent rights clause must be modified to identify the parties as follows:
references to the Government are not changed, and the subcontractor has all rights and obligations
of the Contractor in the clause. The Contractor shall not, as part of the consideration for awarding
the subcontract, obtain rights in the subcontractor's subject inventions.
(4) In subcontracts, at any tier, the agency, the subcontractor, and the Contractor agree that
the mutual obligations of the parties created by this clause constitute a contract between the
subcontractor and the agency with respect to the matters covered by the clause; provided, however,
that nothing in this paragraph is intended to confer any jurisdiction under the Contract Disputes
Act in connection with proceedings under paragraph (h) of this clause.

cancel or ignore the markings at any time after said period and the data will no longer be made
subject to any disclosure prohibitions.
(iii) If the Contractor provides written justification to substantiate the propriety of the
markings within the period set in paragraph (e)(1)(i) of this clause, the Contracting Officer will
consider such written justification and determine whether or not the markings are to be cancelled
or ignored. If the Contracting Officer determines that the markings are authorized, the Contractor
will be so notified in writing. If the Contracting Officer determines, with concurrence of the head
of the contracting activity, that the markings are not authorized, the Contracting Officer will
furnish the Contractor a written determination, which determination will become the final agency
decision regarding the appropriateness of the markings unless the Contractor files suit in a court of
competent jurisdiction within 90 days of receipt of the Contracting Officer’s decision. The
Government will continue to abide by the markings under this paragraph (e)(1)(iii) until final
resolution of the matter either by the Contracting Officer’s determination becoming final (in which
instance the Government will thereafter have the right to cancel or ignore the markings at any time
and the data will no longer be made subject to any disclosure prohibitions), or by final disposition
of the matter by court decision if suit is filed.

matter by a court of competent jurisdiction, the Contractor is not precluded by paragraph (e) of the
clause from bringing a claim, in accordance with the Disputes clause of this contract, that may
arise as the result of the Government removing or ignoring authorized markings on data delivered
under this contract.
(f) Omitted or incorrect markings.
(1) Data delivered to the Government without any restrictive markings shall be deemed to have
been furnished with unlimited rights. The Government is not liable for the disclosure, use, or
reproduction of such data.
(2) If the unmarked data has not been disclosed without restriction outside the Government, the
Contractor may request, within 6 months (or a longer time approved by the Contracting Officer in
writing for good cause shown) after delivery of the data, permission to have authorized notices
placed on the data at the Contractor’s expense. The Contracting Officer may agree to do so if the
Contractor—
(i) Identifies the data to which the omitted notice is to be applied;
(ii) Demonstrates that the omission of the notice was inadvertent;
(iii) Establishes that the proposed notice is authorized; and
(iv) Acknowledges that the Government has no liability for the disclosure, use, or
reproduction of any data made prior to the addition of the notice or resulting from the omission of
the notice.
(3) If data has been marked with an incorrect notice, the Contracting Officer may—
(i) Permit correction of the notice at the Contractor’s expense if the Contractor identifies
the data and demonstrates that the correct notice is authorized; or
(ii) Correct any incorrect notices.
(g) Protection of limited rights data and restricted computer software.
(1) The Contractor may withhold from delivery qualifying limited rights data or restricted
computer software that are not data identified in paragraphs (b)(1)(i), (ii), and (iii) of this clause.

conditions as are specified in this contract and this clause, the amount of payments and limitations
on payments shall be specified in the contract's description of the basis for payment.
(b) Contractor request for performance-based payment. The Contractor may submit requests for
payment of performance-based payments not more frequently than monthly, in a form and manner
acceptable to the Contracting Officer. Unless otherwise authorized by the Contracting Officer, all
performance-based payments in any period for which payment is being requested shall be included
in a single request, appropriately itemized and totaled. The Contractor's request shall contain the
information and certification detailed in paragraphs (l) and (m) of this clause.
(c) Approval and payment of requests.
(1) The Contractor shall not be entitled to payment of a request for performance-based
payment prior to successful accomplishment of the event or performance criterion for which
payment is requested. The Contracting Officer shall determine whether the event or performance
criterion for which payment is requested has been successfully accomplished in accordance with
the terms of the contract. The Contracting Officer may, at any time, require the Contractor to
substantiate the successful performance of any event or performance criterion which has been or is
represented as being payable.
(2) A payment under this performance-based payment clause is a contract financing payment
under the Prompt Payment clause of this contract and not subject to the interest penalty provisions
of the Prompt Payment Act. The designated payment office will pay approved requests on the
15th day after receipt of the request for performance-based payment by the designated payment
office. However, the designated payment office is not required to provide payment if the
Contracting Officer requires substantiation as provided in paragraph (c)(1) of this clause, or
inquires into the status of an event or performance criterion, or into any of the conditions listed in
paragraph (e) of this clause, or into the Contractor certification. The payment period will not

Page 98 of 112
begin until the Contracting Officer approves the request.
(3) The approval by the Contracting Officer of a request for performance-based payment does
not constitute an acceptance by the Government and does not excuse the Contractor from
performance of obligations under this contract.
(d) Liquidation of performance-based payments.
(1) Performance-based finance amounts paid prior to payment for delivery of an item shall be
liquidated by deducting a percentage or a designated dollar amount from the delivery payment. If
the performance-based finance payments are on a delivery item basis, the liquidation amount for
each such line item shall be the percent of that delivery item price that was previously paid under
performance-based finance payments or the designated dollar amount. If the performance-based
finance payments are on a whole contract basis, liquidation shall be by either predesignated
liquidation amounts or a liquidation percentage.
(2) If at any time the amount of payments under this contract exceeds any limitation in this
contract, the Contractor shall repay to the Government the excess. Unless otherwise determined
by the Contracting Officer, such excess shall be credited as a reduction in the unliquidated
performance-based payment balance(s), after adjustment of invoice payments and balances for any
retroactive price adjustments.
(e) Reduction or suspension of performance-based payments. The Contracting Officer may
reduce or suspend performance-based payments, liquidate performance-based payments by
deduction from any payment under the contract, or take a combination of these actions after
finding upon substantial evidence any of the following conditions:
(1) The Contractor failed to comply with any material requirement of this contract (which
includes paragraphs (h) and (i) of this clause).
(2) Performance of this contract is endangered by the Contractor's -
(i) Failure to make progress; or
(ii) Unsatisfactory financial condition.
(3) The Contractor is delinquent in payment of any subcontractor or supplier under this
contract in the ordinary course of business.
(f) Reserved.
(g) Risk of loss. Before delivery to and acceptance by the Government, the Contractor shall bear
the risk of loss for property, the title to which vests in the Government under this clause, except to
the extent the Government expressly assumes the risk. If any property is lost (see 45.101), the
basis of payment (the events or performance criteria) to which the property is related shall be
deemed to be not in compliance with the terms of the contract and not payable (if the property is
NNK14MA74C - Commercial Crew Transportation Capability (CCtCap) Contract
Page 99 of 112
part of or needed for performance), and the Contractor shall refund the related performance-based
payments in accordance with paragraph (d) of this clause.
(h) Records and controls. The Contractor shall maintain records and controls adequate for
administration of this clause. The Contractor shall have no entitlement to performance-based
payments during any time the Contractor's records or controls are determined by the Contracting
Officer to be inadequate for administration of this clause.
(i) Reports and Government access. The Contractor shall promptly furnish reports, certificates,
financial statements, and other pertinent information requested by the Contracting Officer for the
administration of this clause and to determine that an event or other criterion prompting a
financing payment has been successfully accomplished. The Contractor shall give the
Government reasonable opportunity to examine and verify the Contractor's records and to examine
and verify the Contractor's performance of this contract for administration of this clause.
(j) Special terms regarding default. If this contract is terminated under the Default clause, (1) the
Contractor shall, on demand, repay to the Government the amount of unliquidated
performance-based payments, and (2) title shall vest in the Contractor, on full liquidation of all
performance-based payments, for all property for which the Government elects not to require
delivery under the Default clause of this contract. The Government shall be liable for no payment
except as provided by the Default clause.
(k) Reservation of rights.
(1) No payment or vesting of title under this clause shall -
(i) Excuse the Contractor from performance of obligations under this contract; or
(ii) Constitute a waiver of any of the rights or remedies of the parties under the contract.
(2) The Government's rights and remedies under this clause -
(i) Shall not be exclusive, but rather shall be in addition to any other rights and remedies
provided by law or this contract; and
(ii) Shall not be affected by delayed, partial, or omitted exercise of any right, remedy,
power, or privilege, nor shall such exercise or any single exercise preclude or impair any further
exercise under this clause or the exercise of any other right, power, or privilege of the Government.
(l) Content of Contractor's request for performance-based payment. The Contractor's request for
performance-based payment shall contain the following:
(1) The name and address of the Contractor;
(2) The date of the request for performance-based payment;

attachments) has been prepared from the books and records of the Contractor, in accordance with
the contract and the instructions of the Contracting Officer;
(2) (Except as reported in writing on __________), all payments to subcontractors and
suppliers under this contract have been paid, or will be paid, currently, when due in the ordinary
course of business;
(3) There are no encumbrances (except as reported in writing on _________) against the
property acquired or produced for, and allocated or properly chargeable to, the contract which
would affect or impair the Government's title;
(4) There has been no materially adverse change in the financial condition of the Contractor
since the submission by the Contractor to the Government of the most recent written information
dated _____________; and
(5) After the making of this requested performance-based payment, the amount of all payments
for each deliverable item for which performance-based payments have been requested will not
exceed any limitation in the contract, and the amount of all payments under the contract will not
exceed any limitation in the contract.

(a) An ombudsman has been appointed to hear and facilitate the resolution of concerns from
Offerors, potential Offerors, and Contractors during the preaward and postaward phases of this
acquisition. When requested, the ombudsman will maintain strict confidentiality as to the source
of the concern. The existence of the ombudsman is not to diminish the authority of the
contracting officer, the Source Evaluation Board, or the selection official. Further, the
ombudsman does not participate in the evaluation of proposals, the source selection process, or the
adjudication of formal contract disputes. Therefore, before consulting with an ombudsman,
interested parties must first address their concerns, issues, disagreements, and/or
recommendations to the contracting officer for resolution.
(b) If resolution cannot be made by the contracting officer, interested parties may contact the
installation ombudsman, whose name, address, telephone number, facsimile number, and email
address may be found at: http://prod.nais.nasa.gov/pub/pub_library/Omb.html. Concerns, issues,
disagreements, and recommendations which cannot be resolved at the installation may be referred
to the Agency ombudsman identified at the above URL. Please do not contact the ombudsman to
request copies of the solicitation, verify offer due date, or clarify technical requirements. Such
inquiries shall be directed to the Contracting Officer or as specified elsewhere in this document.

developmental items are exempted from the prohibition because they constitute purchase of goods
or services that would not involve participation, collaboration, or coordination between the parties.
(c) This contract may use restricted funding that was appropriated on or after April 25, 2011. The
Contractor shall not contract with China or Chinese-owned companies for any effort related to this
contract except for acquisition of commercial and non-developmental items. If the Contractor
anticipates making an award to China or Chinese-owned companies, the Contractor must contact
the contracting officer to determine if funding on this contract can be used for that purpose.

domain, that the Contractor has developed at private expense, that may embody trade secrets or
commercial or financial information, and that may be sensitive or privileged.

This proposal or document includes sensitive information that NASA shall not disclose outside the
Agency and its service providers that support management activities and administrative functions.
To gain access to this sensitive information, a service provider's contract must contain the clause at
NFS 1852.237-72, Access to Sensitive Information. Consistent with this clause, the service
provider shall not duplicate, use, or disclose the information in whole or in part for any purpose
other than to perform the services specified in its contract. This restriction does not limit the
Government's right to use this information if it is obtained from another source without restriction.

Data/Data Requirement Deliverables (DRDs) to be provided: Final Propulsive Land Landing
Test Plan, test operation procedures, quick-look test report
Delivery of Data/DRDs (mo/yr): NLT 30 days prior before milestone (except as noted below)
Objective: SpaceX will conduct a propulsive landing test of Dragon under nominal hardware
conditions. The vehicle will be dropped from an altitude sufficient to deploy parachutes and
approach the landing burn under flight-like conditions. The intent of the test is to integrate the
parachute, navigation, and propulsion systems into Dragon to demonstrate landing with command
and control, as well as data acquisition. The test article will closely match the flight configuration’s
mechanical properties, such as the outer mold line for aerodynamic accuracy, maximum gross mass,
moment of inertia, and center of mass location. The purpose for conducting the propulsive landing
test is to demonstrate the safety and effectiveness of the Dragon propulsive landing system on
flight-like hardware—including the altimeter—and to validate dynamic models for the vehicle
under main parachutes. The SuperDraco assisted propulsive landing provides a fault tolerant low
impact landing although Dragon can land safely under parachutes only.

Parachute Qualification Complete
Amount: $
Planned Start Date and Completion Date (mo/yr): April 2016
Data/Data Requirement Deliverables (DRDs) to be provided: Parachute Qualification Test
Plans, quick-look test reports
Delivery of Data/DRDs (mo/yr): NLT 30 days before Milestone (except as noted below)
Objective: SpaceX will conduct a series of tests on the parachute system in nominal and off-
nominal configurations, enveloping conditions for abort and nominal entry scenarios. As described
in DRD 108 Verification and Validation Plan, these tests will demonstrate that the design and build
of the Crew Dragon parachute system meets the intent of Section 4 of JSC-65985, Requirements for
Human Spaceflight for the Trailing Deployable Aerodynamic Decelerator (TDAD) System.
Complete human-rating of the parachute system will leverage these tests along with additional
analysis, inspection and lessons learned from the pad and in-flight abort tests conducted during
CCiCap. The Parachute Qualification milestone will be completed after the Flight to ISS without
Crew milestone because the latter does not require this level of human-rating for a flight without
crew, and any in-flight observations from that test flight can be used to inform the test plan for
parachute qualification.
The Dragon parachute system is critical to the safety of crew members during all missions. Its
purpose is to stabilize and decelerate the vehicle to an appropriate descent rate for a safe land
landing for all mission cases. The system must not only decelerate the Dragon from the extreme
velocities of orbital entry, but must also be able to quickly establish aerodynamic control of the
vehicle for aborted launches, the strictest of these scenarios being an emergency event at the launch
pad. The parachutes make up a sophisticated system subject to many failure modes both known and
unknown, high and potentially uncertain loads, and a wide range of initial conditions. As such,
multiple tests in a full scale and flight-like configuration are required to demonstrate and observe
aspects such as redundancy effectiveness, performance dispersions, and structural integrity.
Indicators of Milestone Readiness:
(a) NASA approval of Crew Dragon Verification Plan, including testing in support of
certification of the Dragon parachute system.
(b) Full-scale test unit(s) prepared with relevant characteristics (e.g., mass, moment of inertia,
