Are these packets generated by the instrument or perhaps critical telemetry and/or non-critical telemetry collected by the spacecraft as defined in GIRD 22 formulated into packets? SCFPS846 - The Spacecraft shall include Instrument Low-Rate H&S (LRHS) packets when configured in the high-rate ORTTC link. (CCR-X00220) SCFPS852 - The Spacecraft shall include Instrument Low-Rate H&S (LRHS) packets when configured in the low-rate CDAS link. (CCR-X00220) GIRD24 - Housekeeping telemetry - data required to monitor instrument operation, health, and safety. GIRD22 - Critical telemetry - telemetry points that are required to monitor the instrument in powered OFF state. Non-critical telemetry - telemetry points that are required to monitor the instrument in powered ON state. Answer: These packets are generated by the instruments.� These requirements currently exist in the ACX, OCX and PTR Instrument UIIDs.� The same requirements are in process of being added for GXI, GXS and LMX but will not be in the UIIDs until after Spacecraft contract award. Please see Attachment F-4 for OCX UIID, requirements OCXUIID131 and OCXUIID132. OCXUIID131: The OCX shall generate Instrument Low-Rate Health & Safety (LRHS) packets containing Non-critical Telemetry. (CCR-X00233) OCXUIID132: The data rate for the Instrument LRHS packets shall be less than or equal to 100 bits per second when averaged over 16 seconds. (CCR-X00233). Please see Attachment F-5 for ACX UIID, requirements ACXUIID137 and ACXUIID138. Please see Attachment F-6 for PTR UIID, requirements PTRUIID112 and PTRUIID113. End of Questions and Answers #3 Notice: The SF-33 is now posted. GeoXO Spacecraft Final RFP Questions and Answers #2 Question: In table of Section A (2), VOSB goals are set at 0.2% and SDVOSB goals are set at 1.5%. �SDVOSB goals are a subset of VOSB goals, and therefore cannot be higher than VOSB. �Can you confirm these socio-economic goals in FRFP are accurate? Answer: Section L.12 is Electronic Submission of Proposals and (C) is the submittal address. Assuming you are referring to L.13. The information provided is incorrect.� The table at A.2 will be updated as follows: Small Businesses (SB)������� 15.4% Small Disadvantaged Business (SDB) Concerns ������� �1.8% Women-Owned Small Business (WOSB) Concerns � �1.2% HUBzone������ 0.2% Veteran-Owned Small Business (VOSB) Concerns �� ������������ 1.5% Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) Concerns����� 0.2%"" Question: The Proposal Content and Page Limitations table in L.10(b) indicates that Appendix A for block diagrams for the Spacecraft Design is limited to 20 pages.� Please confirm that the 20-page Appendix A is outside of the 150 pages for the Mission Suitability volume. Answer: The 20 pages for Appendix A for block diagrams for the Spacecraft Design are outside of the 150 pages for Mission Suitability. Question: The Proposal Content and Page Limitations table in L.10(b) requests an Acronym List in the Past Performance volume that is excluded from page limit/page count. 1) Would the government permit acronym lists to be included with the other volumes to support evaluation and context for the material? 2) Would the government permit these acronym lists for the other volumes to be similarly excluded from page limit/page count?� Answer: Yes, the Government agrees with providing acronym lists in each volume and yes, the acronym lists are excluded from the page count. Question: SCSOW809 is showing 3 Dual Sided testbeds while also stating which SHS require decryption and intermediate frequency capabilities. This is in contrast to SCFPS500, SCFPS806, and SCFPS563 in the functional performance spec that intimate that only a single SHS requires these capabilities. Recommend removing SCFPS500, 806, and 563 as they are non-functional requirements that are in conflict with the SOW. Answer: The F&PS requirement state ""an instantiation"" which is equivalent to configuration.� In this case, instantiation in the F&PS does not dictate the quantity.� The quantity of each instantiation is dictated in the SOW. Question: In the latest MEL template, the % New Design Column is highlighted. Is the column to be removed? If it does remain, can additional guidance be provided on the expected content? Answer: No, this column should not be removed - this column should be filled out for the proposal. There is no significance to the highlight. The entry in this column should reflect the percentage of the hardware and software that is a ""New"" design. A ""New"" design requires Non-Recurring Engineering or has not been flown before. Please provide percentages for the amount of new hardware and new software (only if applicable) separately. Question: Within Appendix C Mission Assurance Compliance Matrix, directions state to �Indicate the method used to verify compliance (Inspection, Test, Analysis, Demonstration)�.� Would it be possible to get definitions of those verification methods?� Many Mission Assurance requirements are verified or setup through procedure documentation and it is not entirely clear which selection one would use for that option. Answer: Per the NASA Systems Engineering Handbook: 1. Inspection: The visual examination of a realized end product. Inspection is generally used to verify physical design features or specific manufacturer identification. For example, if there is a requirement that the safety arming pin has a red flag with the words �Remove Before Flight� stenciled on the flag in black letters, a visual inspection of the arming pin flag can be used to determine if this requirement was met. 2. Test: The use of a realized end product to obtain detailed data to verify or validate performance or to provide sufficient information to verify or validate performance through further analysis. 3. Analysis: Use of mathematical modeling and analytical techniques to predict the compliance of a design to its requirements based on calculated data or data derived from lower system structure end product validations. 4. Demonstration:� Showing that the use of an end product achieves the individual specified requirement (verification) or stakeholder expectation (validation). It is generally a basic confirmation of performance capability, differentiated from testing by the lack of detailed data gathering. Demonstrations can involve the use of physical models or mock-ups; for example, a requirement that all controls shall be reachable by the pilot could be verified by having a pilot perform flight-related tasks in a cockpit mock-up or simulator. A demonstration could also be the actual operation of the end product by highly qualified personnel, such as test pilots, who perform a one-time event that demonstrates a capability to operate at extreme limits of system performance. For the example being questioned (procedure documentation), the verification method would be ""inspection"" of the completed documentation of the process. Question: The Cost Exhibits released with the Final RFP show DRFP in the heading. Please confirm these are the final version of the cost exhibits to be used by the Offerors. Answer: Yes, that was an oversight on the Government�s part.� The posted cost exhibits are the final exhibits. Question: �The Cost Volume instructions request completion of Exhibit 4 by the Offeror and any Significant Subcontractors. Please confirm that Exhibit 4a should also be completed by both Offerors and any Significant Subcontractors. Answer: �Exhibit 4a should be completed by both Offerors and any Significant Subcontractors. Question: On Attachment R, Link Budget, tab ORTTC, row 102 has 29.0 and 20.5� The references clearly state 29.0 and 22.4.� Which is correct � 20.5 or 22.4?� The requirement and Excel do not match. Answer: � The spreadsheet is correct as written.� The correct number is 20.5 as sited in section 6.5.1 of the C3SIRD .� The vendor may be looking at an old version of C3SIRD.� SAM.gov has the correct version posted.� (End Questions and Answers #2) GeoXO Spacecraft Final RFP Questions and Answers Question: FAR 52.219-9 (Sep 2023) is included in the solicitation.� However, RFP, Part IV, Section L � Subfactor C � Small Business Utilization (A)(1) states that FAR 52.219-9 Alternate II is included in the solicitation.� Please clarify which version to utilize?�� Answer: The correct clause is FAR 52.219-9 ALT ll.� The final contract will contain the correct version in Section I. Question: Small Business Utilization (A)(7) states that offerors shall complete Exhibits 7A, 7B, and 7C.� Can the offeror utilize their own format and only include within the small business subcontracting plan itself as FAR 52.219-9 already requires this information to be included within the plan? Answer: No, all Exhibits must be filled in and submitted with proposal. Question: The Offeror shall propose a Master Equipment List (MEL) in Excel format in accordance with Attachment Q summarizing all major subsystem components to support validation of proposed mass estimates, power estimates, TRL, design heritage, and cost.� The MEL Attachment Q matrix indicates cost is not to be included in the Column.� Please clarify. Answer: The MEL is not required to have the cost data.� Please put material costs in Cost Exhibit 4. Question: MEL has this calculation (C46+C47) for propellant/pressurant.� C46 is Instrument total mass and C47 is SC MEC dry-mass total.� This calculation seems to be incorrect as the propellant mass is a calculation based on the mass and the performance of the thrusters used.� Please Clarify Answer: There should be no calculation in that cell.� What is currently in the cell is incorrect.� The propellant / pressurant quantity should be entered by the Offeror.� GeoXO Spacecraft Final RFP Questions and Answers Question: FAR 52.219-9 (Sep 2023) is included in the solicitation.� However, RFP, Part IV, Section L � Subfactor C � Small Business Utilization (A)(1) states that FAR 52.219-9 Alternate II is included in the solicitation.� Please clarify which version to utilize?�� Answer: The correct clause is FAR 52.219-9 ALT ll.� The final contract will contain the correct version in Section I.
