- Description
- This notice is issued by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Lyndon B. Johnson Space Center (JSC) to request information via the internet, and solicit responses from interested parties. This document is for information and planning purposes and to allow industry the opportunity to verify reasonableness and feasibility of the requirement, as well as promote competition. NASA JSC is hereby soliciting information to be considered in the development of the Calibration and Metrology Services (CAMS) III Contract procurement strategy. The principal purpose of CAMS III is to operate the existing Metrology Standards and Calibration Laboratory (MSCL) located in Building 343 at JSC. The MSCL provides calibration services by performing calibration operations on Measurement and Test Equipment (MTE). Most of the MTE is commercial off-the-shelf, such as torque wrenches, pressure transducers and voltmeters, and is used to measure physical, mechanical, and electrical properties.Currently, the MSCL is responsible for a total calibration inventory of approximately 44,000 items of MTE. Of these, up to approximately 14,000 items are scheduled to be calibrated at any given time, with approximate 15,000 calibrations to be conducted annually.Some of the MTE are in-place items that cannot be removed and calibration must be performed on the equipment at its on-site location. Workload sizing metrics for the current contract are available in Table 2 of the CAMS II Statement of Work (SOW). The CAMS II SOW is posted in the technical library on the CAMS III procurement website: http://procurement.jsc.nasa.gov/CAMSIII. The MSCL has ISO/IEC 17025:2005, ANSI/NCSLZ540-1-1994, and ANSI/NCSL Z540.3-2006 Accreditations, and a Quality Management System (QMS) that is compliant with ANSI/ISO/ASQ (E) Q9001-2008 and SAE AS9100C. To meet the requirements of CAMS III, the contractor shall maintain these accreditations and compliance with these standards. NASA JSC is seeking industry comment on the following: 1.Contract Type:Can the type of requirements contemplated for CAMS III be effectively and efficiently fulfilled under a fixed-price type contact? Please provide rationale supporting your response and discuss the nature and risk associated with the contemplated requirements. If not, what contract type do you recommend and why? 2.Commercial Item: How can the contemplated requirements for CAMS III be met via commercial services? In your response, please address the elements of a commercial item as defined in FAR 2.101. Interested parties are invited to submit written comments or questions to: Jennifer Krause at jennifer.krause-1@nasa.gov, no later than May 29, 2015. Please reference NNJ15532524LA in any response. THIS IS A REQUEST FOR INFORMATION ONLY. Additional information regarding this acquisition may be found on the CAMS III procurement website: http://procurement.jsc.nasa.gov/CAMSIII. The documents on the NASA procurement website are for information and planning purposes, to allow industry the opportunity to comment, and to promote competition only.NASA will not affirmatively release any information received in response to this RFI to the public, but may use information received in developing the best approach for a contract strategy, and therefore such information may be recognizable to the potential offeror who submitted it. Any information submitted in response to this RFI that is marked as Confidential Commercial or Financial Information will be considered as voluntarily submitted in accordance with the Freedom of Information Act. In accordance with FAR 15.201(e), responses to this notice are not offers and cannot be accepted by the Government to form a binding contract.The Government is under no obligation to issue a solicitation or to award any contract on the basis of this RFI. The Government will not pay for any information solicited under this RFI. No solicitation exists; therefore, do not request a copy of a solicitation. If a solicitation is released it will be synopsized in FedBizOpps and on the NASA Acquisition Internet Service. It is the potential offerors responsibility to monitor these sites for the release of any solicitation or synopsis. This synopsis is for information and planning purposes and is not to be construed as a commitment by the Government nor will the Government pay for information solicited.
