- THE PURPOSE OF THIS RFI IS TO CLEARLY SEPARATE THE REQUEST AND REQUIREMENTS FOR THESES PROCUREMENT FROM THE METSII PROCUREMENT. METSII information can continue to be found under RFI#NNG08269474L.GSFC plans to compete and award an 8(a) contract for Software Engineering Support (SES).This RFI will include the work of the Software Engineering Division, Code 580, includingflight and ground software development, science processing, and mission ground, flightand science system development/engineering. The Software Engineering Support (SES) contract will provide support for the corebusiness of the Division which encompasses the design, development, test, deployment andmaintenance of software, data and information systems that support aerospace missionsboth in development and on-orbit. The scope of the contract will also include supportfor Division managed development/test labs, test facilities, and the technical operationsof the Division.GSFC currently expects to award the contract as cost-plus-fixed-fee level-of-effort(LOE); however, we are soliciting industry feedback on the appropriateness of our choiceof contract type. GSFC anticipates release of the SES draft RFP in February 2009.Industry comments to the draft RFP would be due 2 weeks after draft RFP release. FinalRFP has an anticipated release 7 weeks after the draft RFP. We anticipate that the RFPwill require submission of proposals within 45 days. The anticipated award date for thecontract is February 2010, after completion of 30-60 day phase-in purchase order. NASA/GSFC requests industry feedback related to the procurement strategy elements thatare included in this RFI. Interested 8(a) organizations are requested to submit theircapabilities and qualifications to perform the effort. Responses (30-page maximumincluding attachments) must include the following: name and address of firm, size ofbusiness; average annual revenue for past 3 years and number of employees; ownership;8(a) status (e. g., time remaining in 8(a) program); number of years in business;affiliate information, if any: parent company, joint venture partners, potential teamingpartners, prime contractor (if potential sub) or subcontractors (if potential prime);list of customers covering the past five years (highlight relevant work performed,contract numbers, contract type, dollar value of each procurement; and point of contact -address and phone number). Specific engineering examples of relevant experience,including detailed descriptions, are recommended. To facilitate a prompt review by theNASA team, a one-page summary shall be included with your capability statement(s), whichidentifies your companys specific capabilities that are relevant to the requirement. Thesummary page will not count against the maximum page limit. It is insufficient to provideonly general brochures or generic information. Industry feedback related to theprocurement strategy set forth in this RFI will be excluded from the 30-page limit forcapability statements. All other non-8(a) interested parties may submit there interest(including point of contact, phone, address, and e-mail) to the procurement contact;however, capabilities statements will not be reviewed. Capability statements submitted under the previous RFI#NNG08269474L for SES will have tobe resubmitted in response to this RFI.We intend to release the names, addresses, and points of contact of all respondentsunless specifically requested not to do so by the respondent. SES questions should be directed, as follows, to: Technical: Michael Oben 301-286-8540 (michael.f.oben@nasa.gov) or Jerome Bennett301-286-8623 (Jerome.d.bennett@nasa.gov). Procurement: Ms. Kelly Jonas, 301-286-4240(Kelly.d.jonas@nasa.gov). This sources sought synopsis is for informational and planning purposes only and is notto be construed as a commitment by the Government; nor will the Government pay for anyinformation solicited. Since this is a sources sought announcement, no evaluation lettersand/or results will be issued to the respondents.

See Note26. To assist industry in reviewing this division of work, attached is a statement of scopefor this contract. Note that this statement of scope includes some flight softwaredevelopment and maintenance and mission operations software engineering developmentcurrently obtained on a large business contract. We will supplement the SES statement ofscope with additional details as they are developed. Those supplements will be linked tothis site as soon as they are available. The NAICS Code and Size Standard for this procurement is 541712 and 1000 employees (seeexceptions). This notice separates SES from the previous RFI #NNG08269474L.
