- This is a modification to the synopsis entitled FORMATION FLYING TECHNOLOGY CAPABILITIES (RFI-541710-FF) and replaces that synopsis which was posted on September 1, 2005. Due date for response has been changed to October 31, 2005. CONTRACTING OFFICE ADDRESS: National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Goddard Space Flight Center, Greenbelt, MD 20771. INTRODUCTION: NASA is currently compiling an integrated portfolio to represent the state of U.S. technology in the area of spacecraft formation flying. In order to confine the scope of this call, it will cover only unique capabilities to enable spacecraft formation flying in the specific categories defined in Appendix A. The portfolio will be export-controlled and may include supplements with proprietary or classified protections. The means of collection will be through secure electronic submission of standard format data sheets, following the formats in Appendix B and possible short presentation at a workshop in a proprietary or non-proprietary setting, to be defined at a later date. The chart formats can be adjusted as needed for convenience, distribution markings, etc., as long as all information is provided. The workshop and associated information collected will be open only to U.S. Government civil servants, members of Federally-Funded Research and Development Centers (FFRDCs) who are representing the government, and members of the presenting organization. It is anticipated that all submitted data sheets representing technologies at technology readiness level (TRL) 2 or above will be included in the collection, provided that submission requirements are met. However, due to time constraints, it is possible that only a subset of those who request to present orally will be selected to present, based on current requirements, maturity, relevance to near-term requirements, and credibility. Please carefully review Appendix A for the appropriate submission area, if there is more than one for a system-level technology area, then please select the best fit area. We anticipate the following categories of submission: 1. Export controlled and/or proprietary data, unclassified 2. Unrestricted, unlimited distribution data, unclassified 3. Data classified SECRET, collateral 4. Data classified TOP SECRET, collateral 5. Data classified SCI Be certain that your charts are appropriately marked with any and all applicable distribution restrictions. If proprietary, for example, simply modify the charts as needed to use your company?s standard proprietary header and/or footer markings. You may submit multiple technologies in one file, with a separate chart for each technology. In such a case, the individual who enters the information will be listed as the point of contact, (POC) by default, so each technology chart should list an appropriate POC, if different from the submitter. For UNCLASSIFIED submittals, follow the link http://aaaprod.gsfc.nasa.gov/Project/loginNRA.cfm to submit. You will be asked to request a username and password that you will use for submittal. Internet Explorer 6.0 and Netscape 7.0 are the preferred browsers. User name and password to perform electronic submission can be obtained by sending an e-mail to Lisa Kane at Lisa.M.Kane-Hager.1 ?AT? gsfc.nasa.gov. (It may take a day or two to obtain the user account and password.) For SECRET COLLATERAL submittals, send an unclassified notification to Jesse ?DOT? Leitner ?AT? nasa.gov or phone message to 301-286-2630 (unclassified line) and then send by registered mail to GSFC Security Office Code 240.1 NASA GSFC Greenbelt, MD 20771 For TOP SECRET or SCI submissions, contact Dr. Jesse Leitner at 301-286-2630 (unclassified line) or the email address above to arrange submission through appropriate channels. For further information or clarification on any element of this RFI, please contact Dr. Leitner via the information provided above. Submissions will be accepted until October 31, 2005, 5 pm EST. DO NOT TRANSMIT ANY CLASSIFIED INFORMATION ON THE WEB-BASED SUBMISSION SYSTEM. SUMMARY: With this RFI, NASA is requesting community participation in a U.S.-wide spacecraft formation flying technology portfolio generation. No procurement is planned as a result of this RFI, although responses may be considered in formulating NASA?s future strategic investments and other decisions. It is emphasized that the requested information is for preliminary planning purposes only and does not constitute a commitment, explicit or implied, that the Government will solicit any related procurement from responders or any other groups or individuals in the future. The Government will not be responsible for any costs incurred by respondents in furnishing the requested information. NO AWARDS WILL BE GRANTED AS A DIRECT RESULT OF THIS RFI. An ombudsman has been appointed -- See NASA Specific Note "B". 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.
