- Description
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Johnson Space Center (JSC) is seeking capability statements from all interested parties, including Small, Small Disadvantaged Business (SDB), 8(a), Woman-owned (WOSB), Veteran Owned (VOSB), Service Disabled Veteran Owned (SD-VOSB), Historically Underutilized Business Zone (HUBZone) businesses, and Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU)/Minority Institutions (MI) for the purposes of determining the appropriate level of competition and/or small business subcontracting goals for the Communications, Outreach, Multimedia & Information Technology (COMIT) Contract. The Government reserves the right to consider a Small, SDB, 8(a), WOSB, VOSB, SD-VOSB, HUBZone, or HBCU/MI business set-aside based on responses hereto. NASA JSC is planning to recompete the contract requirements under the current Information Technology and Multimedia Services (ITAMS) contract at the JSC. Note, however, that the COMIT contract will not contain requirements for the Information Technology (IT) Security services portion of the ITAMS contract Statement of Work (SOW). The draft SOW for the COMIT contract can be viewed at: http://procurement.jsc.nasa.gov/comit/. This draft SOW is for information and planning purposes only and to allow industry the opportunity to verify reasonableness and feasibility of the requirement, as well as promote competition. Do not request documents referenced in this draft SOW as they will not be provided at this time. The Government will create the technical library that will provide access to these documents at a later date. Products and services provided by this contract are required for general information technology, multimedia services, general customer support, information management services, business management and integration and external relations support services supporting NASAs human space flight programs, exploration and science programs, and institutional organizations. Major activities include: General IT Systems Engineering, Management, and Operations; IT Applications Services including full-system life-cycle support for new and existing application capabilities as well as database and database product administration; Information Management Services including document and data management; Library and Multimedia Services and Repository Management; Writing and Editing; Graphics and Graphics Services; Multimedia Engineering, Installation, Maintenance, Operations and Services; External Relations, Outreach and Communications Facility Management of IT Support Facilities; and Business Management, integration, and technical support of the above. To assist the Government in development of its acquisition strategy, industry input is sought in the following areas: 1) order management strategy and cost reporting/billing methodology to be utilized when offering required services at an enterprise level, 2) contract type, 3) recommendations on potential task order content or other ordering approaches, and 4) any other technical, business or contractual issues that should be considered by the Government. Specifically, the Government is considering moving away from a 100% task order contract and is requesting input on which portions of the requirements might be performed by your firm on a completion form basis versus a separate task order. Any information provided in response to these items will not count towards the page limitation provided below for the capability statements. The preliminary North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this procurement is 518210, DATA PROCESSING, HOSTING, and RELATED SERVICES, with a size standard of $30 Million. The estimated award date for this contract is September 1, 2015, and estimated start date is January 17, 2016. Interested offerors/vendors having the required specialized capabilities to meet the above requirements should submit a capability statement of 10 pages or less, indicating the ability to perform directly, or through a subcontractor, the requirements of this contract. Responses must include the following: name and address of firm, size of business; average annual revenue for past 3 years and number of employees; ownership; their small business status (large, small, SDB, 8(a), WOSB, VOSB, SD-VOSB, HUBZone, or HBCU/MI); number of years in business; affiliate information: parent company, joint venture partners, potential teaming partners, prime contractor (if potential sub) or subcontractors (if potential prime); and a 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).

Respondents will not be notified of the results of the evaluation of the information submitted. All responses shall be submitted to NASA Contracting Officer Steven D. Fletcher no later than 2:00 pm Central Standard Time, March 7, 2014 via email at JSC-COMIT-SEB@ndc.NASA.gov. Please reference NNJ14498840L Response to RFI in the subject line of any response.
