- Description
- NASA/JSC/White Sands Test Facility (WSTF) plans to procure test and evaluation services at WSTF as a partial follow-on to the current Test Evaluation and Maintenance (TEAM) contract which ends April 30, 2006. The potential contract will require materials and components testing, propulsion testing, depot level repair of flight hardware, and maintenance and repair of the test systems required for these activities. Activities under TEC include: test system safety, quality assurance, technical training, precision cleaning and fluid component refurbishment, calibration, machining and welding, maintenance of special PPE, photo and video, electronic and audio-visual equipment maintenance, and technical editing. WSTF is certified to the ISO 9001 and 14001 standards as a joint government and contractor team, and is an OSHA VPP Star certified site. Interested parties are encouraged to address their experience in working within these environments. To fulfill these requirements, NASA plans to release a Request For Proposal (RFP). The RFP will result in a Cost Plus Award Fee, 100% performance based, contract with both a Completion Form and an IDIQ (indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity) feature. The contract will be written for a 3 year base period with two, 1-year options for a total of five years. A draft RFP will be released mid-May 2005. The draft RFP will allow interested parties the opportunity to submit questions, comments, and innovative ideas. Feedback can be submitted up to 10 days after the draft RFP release date and is encouraged. A listing of small businesses which have expressed interest in participating in this procurement will be released with the draft RFP. A preproposal conference will be held May 24 and 25, 2005 at WSTF. After considering Industry feedback impacts on the draft RFP, the Government anticipates that the final RFP will be released in late June 2005. The Government contemplates requiring the offerors to submit the past performance portion of their proposals in early August with the remaining portion of the proposals due mid-August. A 60-day phase-in for the new contractor is planned. The solicitation and, to the extent possible, documents related to this procurement will be available over the Internet. These documents will reside on a World-Wide Web (WWW) server, which may be accessed using a WWW browser application.
