The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center (NSSC) is seeking capability statements from all interested parties, including Small Business, Small Disadvantaged Business (SDB), 8(a), Woman‐owned Small Business (WOSB), Veteran Owned Small Business (VOSB), Service Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business (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 technical guidance and support for assisting the Web Services Office (WSO). Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) are needed in support of meeting the volatile standards in the modernization of the Agency's web cloud infrastructure and Information Technology (IT)/web security posture. The objective of the potential acquisition is to acquire knowledgeable advisors and technical experts with relevant experience in core cloud infrastructure services and IT/web security improvement initiatives. SMEs will provide prudent counsel and practical recommendations in development ande nhancements of web cloud environments and effective technical support. Therefore, potential sources are required to have extensive technical knowledge of the following applications and their functional capability: Content Management Systems (CMS's), Platform as a Service (PaaS), Software as a Service (SaaS), and Drupal as a Service (DaaS) applications. Services will be performed at the Contractor's facility with the exception of an occasional visit to NASA Headquarters in Washington, D.C. This requirement will support the following NASA locations: Ames Research Center, Armstrong Flight Research Center, Glenn Research Center, Goddard Space Flight Center, NASA Headquarters, Johnson Space Center, Kennedy Space Center, Langley Research Center, Marshall Space Flight Center, NASA Shared Services Center, Stennis Space Center, and NASA Management Office at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory. The goal of this RFI is to canvass interest and capabilities of General Services Administration (GSA) Schedule Holders, specifically those vendors with active contracts listed on the Information Technologies (IT) Schedule 70. This RFI will provide the Government with useful data in gauging competition in potential interested parties within the schedule, and collect insightful feedback of common practices considered to be the standard by industry leaders. The Government will utilize this information to develop a more coherent and up‐to‐date Performance Work Statement (PWS). It is NASA's intent to procure this requirement as a Single award, Firm‐Fixed Price (FFP), Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) for a duration of five (5) years. The period of performance will be a five (5)‐year duration; including a one (1)‐year base period and four one (1)‐year option periods. The NAICS code and the small business size standard for this procurement are 541519 and $27.5 million, respectively. This contract will include an Organizational Conflict of Interest (OCI) clause that will place restrictions on a company's ability to pursue additional NASA work.

If so, what Agency and at what locations? 7) If your company provides web cloud infrastructure and IT/web security support services, what types of tasks does it perform (e.g., provide expert guidance, advice, and recommendations regarding core cloud infrastructure services, cloud service models, and cloud deployment models; ensure conformity of proposed infrastructure designs with federal web, cloud, and Security requirements and configuration management and system engineering principles; provide development of SaaS software components such as widgets, plugins, and themes; assist in development of enterprise governance practices, processes, and policies for an enterprise web ecosystem, etc.)? 8) Does your company have experience using NASA web cloud IT systems or any other Government Agency? If so, please provide details. 9) Does your company have the ability to provide web cloud infrastructure and IT/web security support services at all the NASA sites listed above? If not, at which locations? 10) How does the presence of an OCI clause affect your company's interest in this requirement? To the maximum extent possible, please submit non-proprietary information.
