- Description
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Kennedy Space Center (KSC) is seeking capability statements from all interested parties, including Small, Small Disadvantaged (SDB), 8(a), Woman-Owned (WOSB), Veteran-Owned (VOSB), Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned (SDVOSB), 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 East Coast Commercial Payload Processing support. The Government reserves the right to consider a Small, 8(a), Woman-Owned (WOSB), Service-Disabled Veteran (SDVOSB), or HUBZone business set-aside based on responses hereto. The NASA/KSC requirements include the following: Commercial payload processing support for East Coast expendable launch missions launching between calendar years 2017 and 2022. The missions are scheduled for launch from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station (CCAFS), Florida, on Expendable Launch Vehicles (ELVs). The effort will include providing a range of services and processing capabilities, including but not limited to the following: advance planning, facilities, supplies, commodities, and services necessary for the Spacecraft Users and Launch Service Contractors (LSC) to perform prelaunch processing of the spacecraft with a third stage and/or payload adapter, and encapsulation/transport of the completed payload stacks to the Launch Pad. Detailed requirements will be developed for each spacecraft to specify the exact facility capability, equipment, and manpower support required. Payload processing generally begins three months prior to the launch date. It is anticipated that Payload Processing Task Orders (PPTO) for each mission will be awarded 1 year prior to launch. The Occupancy Period is 14 weeks in duration from the Initial Facility Occupancy date as specified in the PPTO to the Facility Departure Date, which is generally 7 days after the launch. The payload is then transported to CCAFS, mated to the launch vehicle, and launched. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this procurement is 336419, Other Guided Missile and Space Vehicle Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing, with a size standard of 1,000 employees. No solicitation exists; therefore, do not request a copy of the solicitation. If a solicitation is released, it will be synopsized in FedBizOpps and on the NASA Acquisition Internet Service. It is the potential offeror's responsibility to monitor these sites for the release of any solicitation or synopsis. Interested offerors are requested to submit information in the form of a brief Capabilities and Qualifications Statement that includes: (1) Addressing all of the areas identified above and (2) a summary of relevant past experience. Capabilities Statements shall not exceed 5 pages. 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; whether they are large, small, small disadvantaged, 8(a), HUBZone, and/or woman-owned; 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); 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). The requirement is considered a commercial item as defined in FAR 2.101. This synopsis is for information and planning purposes only and is not to be construed as a commitment by the Government nor will the Government pay for information solicited. Respondents will not be notified of the results of the evaluation. All responses shall be submitted via email to Erik Whitehill at erik.c.whitehill@nasa.gov no later than 4:30 p.m. Eastern Time on August 1, 2016. Please reference NNK16ZLS002 in any response.
