HHPC2 Vendor Capability Matrix version 2 The matrix is replaced in its entirety and vendors should utilze version 2 when responding to this RFI. OCI Mitigation Strategy The following OCI mitigation strategy language is deleted and revised as follows: Deleted language: NASA will review any responses received regarding potential OCI and each offeror�s proposed OCI mitigation strategy. NASA may respond to each company who submits an OCI mitigation strategy if needed. NASA�s response will simply be an attempt to examine circumstances which might lead to or eliminate an OCI and is not intended to serve as a confirmation that, in fact, all potential OCI issues have been identified, that an OCI will ultimately exist, or that an interested party is capable of successfully eliminating or mitigating an identified OCI. NASA�s response is also not intended to encourage or discourage any interested party from responding to an RFP issued for HHPC2 in the future. Furthermore, NASA�s response in no way alters or interprets FAR 9.5 as it applies to a final statement of work or a final proposal submission, should an interested party elect to submit a proposal to an RFP for HHPC2. Subsequent to the initial OCI submission and NASA�s response, the Government will not consider further information as it relates to this RFI. The Contractor will still be required to comply with the RFP OCI requirements and its submission will be considered in accordance with the RFP. Revised langauge:�As part of its procurement planning process, NASA will review all responses received to this RFI regarding potential OCI issues.� Companies are encouraged to consider OCI when responding to this RFI, and to suggest measures that would prevent OCI from adversely affecting a company�s future procurement prospects.� However, NASA is not in a position to respond to potential offerors regarding the existence of an OCI or remedial measures in relation to this RFI. �Nothing submitted in response to this RFI changes the need for any offeror that submits a proposal in response to a future RFP to satisfy the requirements of that future RFP as part of its proposal response.� Any proposal submitted in response to a future RFP will be required to follow the RFP instructions regarding OCI and the evaluation of that proposal will be in accordance with the RFP evaluation criteria included in the RFP. The due date for responses is not extended. NASA anticipates releasing the Industry Day charts prior to Industry Day.� Please continue to monitor this sam.gov posting for updates on the release of any documents, as well as the HHPC2 website at https://www.nasa.gov/johnson/jsc-procurement/hhpc2. Offerors are responsible for monitoring this site for the release of the solicitation and any amendments. Potential offerors are responsible for downloading their own copy of the solicitation and amendments (if any).�
