- Description
- Task Description The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Lyndon B. Johnson Space Center (JSC) is soliciting industry feedback and potential sources to install two nadir (down looking) optical viewports in its Gulfstream GV aircraft. These viewports will be used to support a wide variety of airborne science programs. NASA has also attached a draft Task Description to this synopsis titled "Gulfstream V Nadir Viewport Installation" that defines the scope of work necessary to structurally modify the aircraft and relocate existing aircraft systems to provide clearance for the viewport installation. These modifications will require Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) certification. Please note that this is a combined Request for Information (RFI) and Sources Sought Synopsis. 2.0 RFI Questions In an effort to verify the reasonableness of NASA's requirements and project plan, please respond to the following items: 1) Provide a rough order of magnitude (ROM) cost and schedule estimate based on the following two scenarios. For ROM purposes, please assume contract is a firm-fixed-price contract: a. ROM estimate per schedule guidance provided in attached draft Task Description, Section 9.0, Schedule. As part of your schedule, please provide the Offeror Fill-In (OFI) dates listed in Task Description, Table 10.1. Additionally, for phased modification approaches, please provide required NASA aircraft delivery dates to the Contractor, and aircraft departure dates from the Contractor based on supporting NASA direct return missions shown in Task Description, Appendix A. Task Description options shall be itemized separately. b. ROM estimate assuming NASA made the aircraft available for modification during one (1) of the schedule periods marked "Direct Return/Aircraft Reconfiguration" in the attached draft Task Description, Section 9.0, Schedule. This would allow the aircraft to be made available for a longer contiguous schedule period than is shown in the task description. As part of your schedule, please provide the Offeror Fill-In (OFI) dates listed in Task Description, Table 10.1. Additionally, for phased modification approaches, please provide required NASA aircraft delivery dates to the Contractor, and aircraft departure dates from the Contractor based on supporting NASA direct return missions shown in Task Description, Appendix A. Task Description options shall be itemized separately. 2) Provide latest possible NASA contract award date necessary to satisfy ROM schedule estimates provided in Item 1 above. 3) Provide technical feedback on the attached draft Task Description such as input on any requirements that may be unclear, missing, or any suggested requirements revisions. 4) Identify draft Task Description requirements that are significant cost or schedule drivers. 5) Provide descriptions of previous work your company has performed that is similar to the work outlined in the attached draft Task Description.
