TFOME Overview

Sierra Lobo is honored to have been selected by the NASA Glenn Research Center as the TFOME contractor. We encourage the incumbent staff and our NASA customer at Glenn Research Center’s Lewis Field and Plum Brook Station to visit this website and our on-line "Welcome Center" to find out more about our team, our approach, and Phase-In plans. TFOME is currently operating Phase B of the contract, which includes the engineering and technician workforce at GRC's Lewis Field. Phase C, which includes the staff at GRC's Plumbrook Station, is scheduled to begin August 2010.

With a collective history of continuous support at NASA Glenn Research Center in Cleveland, Ohio (GRC) stretching more than seventeen years, our award-winning Sierra Lobo TFOME Team was assembled to meet the challenges of the Test Facility Operations, Maintenance, and Engineering (TFOME) effort at GRC. Built to combine our strengths, our team brings proven performance and expertise, a strong set of core capabilities and values, and an understanding of the mission and work at GRC. Through our current and long-standing working relationships at NASA GRC, LaRC, ARC, KSC, MSFC, and NASA SSC, we have demonstrated an excellent performance record and have accumulated excellent NASA credentials.

On this challenging TFOME procurement, we are organizing our team to accomplish GRCs goal of consolidating parts or all of several existing contracts (TFSS, PBOS, GESS, and MORE) into an integrated effort. The consolidation represents a bold yet practical effort to maximize the already formidable world-class research capabilities of GRC. To accomplish that goal, our team brings a history of diverse consolidation efforts that have reaped increased productivity performances for our customers through improved operations, efficiency, and productivity. Our team also brings an exemplary record of quality, including several ISO certifications and world-class safety practices.

The Sierra Lobo TFOME Team offers Core Capabilities and Prior Successes that are relevant to the TFOME work. We are committed to providing GRC with the highest quality of services by applying the following philosophies:

• Instill safety as a “value” within the TFOME organization
• Inspire our employees to take pride in providing high quality service and foster a work environment that empowers employees, promotes creativity and growth, instills a sense of responsibility and encourages new and innovative solutions
• Established processes for contract and project management and employ strong cost and schedule control methods to provide GRC with best value and increase the center's competitiveness for continued growth
• Commit to strategic teaming and partnering with GRC aimed towards continuous improvement of operations and sustained growth in GRC’s core competency
