- Description
- DRAFT Specification DRAFT Deliverable Items List and Schedule DRAFT Statement of Work The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC) 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 (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 an anticipated Firm Fixed Price (FFP) contract on one (1) Qual Battery and two (2) Flight Batteries for the PACE mission with the requirements in the attached documents. The Government reserves the right to consider a Small, 8(a), Woman-owned (WOSB), Service Disabled Veteran (SD-VOSB), or HUBZone business set-aside based on responses hereto. Please see the attached Performance Specification (SPEC), Statement of Work (SOW) and Deliverable Items List and Schedule (DILS) documents for further information. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS)code for this procurement is 335911. Estimated award date for this contract is April 2019 (TBR). The estimated delivery date for the Qual Battery is June 2020 (TBR) and the Flight Batteries is November 2021 (TBR). 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/vendors having the required specialized capabilities to meet the above requirement should submit a capability statement indicating the ability to perform all aspects of the effort described herein. Responses must include the following: name and address of firm, size of business; average annual revenue for the past 3 years and number of employees; ownership; whether they are large, small, small disadvantaged, 8(a), Woman-owned, Veteran Owned, Service Disabled Veteran Owned, Historically Underutilized Business Zone and Historically Black Colleges and Universities)/Minority Institutions; 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). Further, NASA/GSFC requests basic cost information for the requirements. Specifically, provide a cost estimate that includes Non Recurrent Effort (NRE) cost for one (1) Qual Battery and two (2) Flight Batteries. In addition, provide a schedule for the delivery of these batteries. If applicable, please include any specifications sheets and basic design information for any available proprietary Batteries that may meet the specifications contained herein. Responses are requested to identify any unduly restrictive requirements or potential areas of non-compliance in the SPEC document. This includes both unreasonable technical specifications and significant cost obstacles. Where there is non-compliance, please state if the SPEC is considered unnecessarily stringent or if a NRE could be pursued to achieve compliance on that particular requirement (and associated cost). Although the spec identifies a minimum required beginning of life capacity for the batteries, vendors are encouraged to provide the cost and technical data for any higher capacity cells/batteries. And also, vendors are encouraged to provide any qualification or life cycle data to demonstrate that these cells/batteries can meet the PACE Battery performance and life requirements. And if the cell qualification is not completed, please provide the date when the qualification will be completed. Comments and suggestions for improving the requirements documents are always encouraged and solicited. Technical questions should be directed to: David Jung PACE Battery Engineer NASA/Goddard Space Flight Center 8800 Greenbelt Road Greenbelt, MD 20771 Phone:(301)286-6104 E-mail:david.s.jung@nasa.gov Procurement related questions should be directed to: Rogenia Dean NASA/Goddard Space Flight Center 8800 Greenbelt Road Greenbelt, MD 20771 Phone:(301)286-0855 E-mail:rogenia.m.burton-penderga@nasa.gov The requirement is not considered a commercial item.
