- Description
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is considering conducting a procurement for the award of a single, firm-fixed-price contract for facility operations, maintenance, management, and data center power and network integration to support the data center facility known as the National Center for Critical Information Processing and Storage (NCCIPS). This contract will require on-site performance of the services 24x7x365 at the following location: NCCIPS Complex of the NASA Shared Services Center (NSSC) located at Stennis Space Center near Bay St Louis, Mississippi. Current facility Operations and Maintenance services are provided through a single contract set to expire within the next 1-2 years. The objectives of this sources sought notice is to gauge industry’s interest in this requirement, improve NASA’s knowledge of industry’s capabilities, assist with any set-aside determination, and solicit information that will enable NASA to better prepare a solicitation that meets the NCCIPs requirements. The NSSC is soliciting information from industry to identify sources with the capability to perform data center facility operations, maintenance, and management. Overall coordination of these activities is provided by the NSSC Procurement Services Division located at Stennis Space Center. There is no requirement for presence at any other NASA facility. Data center facility operations, maintenance, and management services include supporting critical customer provider IT processing and storage for a Tier III data center supporting multiple Federal Agencies under a shared services model. The contractor shall provide 24x7x365 facility operations, maintenance, engineering and support, network administration supporting the facility, physical and information security support, inventory management, shipping and receiving, as well as maintenance of critical facilities infrastructure and facilities IT hardware, software, and firmware in support of the NCCIPS Tier III infrastructure. The effort requires a total solution which supports the data center itself and all ancillary facilities including administrative areas, storage areas, shipping and receiving facilities, and the telecommunications point of presence. Requirements include, but are not limited to, designing, testing, and delivering facilities support, materials, and skills to accomplish small to large scale data center power and networking integration, personnel, and operational processes. This requires active monitoring of the electrical distribution Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system, the mechanical HVAC Building Automation Systems (BAS), Fire/Life Safety, and Camera/Badge systems. The period of performance will consist of a Base Period of 18 months, and four 1-year option periods. The NAICS code and the small business size standard for this procurement are 541513, and $27.5 million, respectively. Since this is a sources sought notice, no evaluation letters and/or results will be issued to the respondents. Vendors having the capabilities necessary to meet the stated requirements are invited to submit appropriate documentation, literature, brochures, and references.
