- Description
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC) plans to issue a Draft Request for Proposal (DRFP) for the Support for Atmospheres, Modeling, and Data Assimilation (SAMDA) contract. This is a total small business set-aside competitive contract for support services currently being provided under contracts NNG12HP06C and NNG12HP08C. Scientists in both the Earth Science Division-Atmospheres (ESDA) and the Global Modeling and Assimilation Office (GMAO) perform research aimed toward monitoring and achieving a better understanding of the inter-annual variability and possible trends of Earth surface and atmospheric geophysical parameters, but with different emphases and approaches. The SAMDA acquisition is for services in support of atmospheric science and data assimilation research conducted by GSFC scientists in the Earth Science Division (Code 610). The contract will support the full range of research and development activities of the ESDA and GMAO and the operational activities of the GMAO. The SAMDA acquisition has been defined as a Hybrid Cost-Plus Fixed-Fee (CPFF) Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) with Core Requirements contract vehicle with a total estimated value of $184M. The anticipated release date of the Draft RFP is on or about mid-October 2015 and the anticipated release date of the Final RFP is around mid-January 2016. The Government intends to perform the evaluation in accordance with FAR Part 15. The Government anticipates a 60-day phase-in transition period. The Government does not intend to acquire a commercial item using FAR Part 12. The DRFP will be posted for information and planning purposes. No proposal will be requested at this time and no contract will be awarded as a result of the DRFP. Potential Offerors are invited to comment on all aspects of the solicitation including the requirements, proposal instructions, and evaluation approach. If your comments include recommendations for revisions, you must provide your rationale for such revisions. Comments will be accepted for approximately two weeks after the release of the DRFP, with the final date for communication to be specified in the DRFP cover letter. The NAICS code and size standard selected are 541712 with 1,000 employees, respectively. Reference Library: In order to assist potential offerors in familiarizing themselves with the nature of the services required to support the SAMDA procurement, a reference library has been established on the internet. The URL is planned to be provided no later than the DRFP release. The draft Statement of Work will be provided in the reference library. NASA Clause 1852.215-84, Ombudsman, is applicable. The Center Ombudsman for this acquisition can be found at http://prod.nais.nasa.gov/pub/pu blibrary/Omb.html.

Potential offerors will be responsible for downloading their own copy of the solicitation and amendments (if any).
