- Description
- Source Sought Amendment 1 NASA/Armstrong Flight Research Center (AFRC) is requesting information from industry regarding potential organizational conflicts of interest (OCI) arising from the Occupational Health Services (OHS) contract. The nature of the work anticipated under the OHS Contract may create the potential for OCI(s) as currently described in FAR Subpart 9.5, Organizational and Consultant Conflicts of Interest. Each interested party should review FAR Subpart 9.5 considering NASA�s anticipation of OCI issues and carefully consider the extent to which an OCI may arise before making the decision to compete for the OHS at AFRC. If NASA has identified potential OCI issues, include the following language; otherwise, delete this content entirely. You are requested to provide electronic responses via e-mail to the Contracting Officer listed at the end of this synopsis. Your response is requested by 12:00PM EST on February 15, 2026. Interested parties are requested to address the following questions: 1. What type(s) of OCI issues would your company or potential team identify, if any, should you choose to propose on the OHS contract? 2. What strategies would you anticipate proposing to mitigate the OCI issues that you identified (if any)? Please provide strategy details, previous examples/experience with other contracts with NASA or other agencies, etc. 3. Are there any other types of potential OCI issues with the proposed OHS contract that were not identified in this RFI (assuming any were identified)? 4. Does your company foresee any OCI issues associated with the OHS contract that would cause you to decide not to propose on the potential OHS RFP? NASA will review any responses received regarding potential OCI and each offeror�s proposed OCI mitigation strategy. NASA will respond to each company who submits a mitigation strategy. NASA�s response is not intended to serve as a confirmation that, in fact, all potential OCI have been identified, 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 requirements 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 interest party elect to submit a proposal to an RFP for OHS. Subsequent initial OCI submission and NASA�s response, NASA will not consider further information as it relates to this RFI. The documents on the NASA OHS acquisition website are for information and planning purposes, to allow industry the opportunity to comment, and to promote competition only. NASA will not affirmatively release any information received in response to this RFI to the public, but may use information received in developing the best approach for a contract strategy, and therefore such information may be recognizable to the interested party who submitted it. Any information submitted in response to this RFI that is marked as �Confidential Commercial or Financial Information� will be considered as voluntarily submitted in accordance with the Freedom of Information Act. All questions should be directed to the point of contact identified below. In accordance with FAR 15.201(e), Exchanges With Industry Before Receipt OF Proposal, responses to this notice are not offers and cannot be accepted by NASA to form a binding contract. NASA is under no obligation to issue a solicitation or to award any contract based on this RFI. NASA will not pay for any information solicited under this RFI. No solicitation exists; therefore, do not request a copy of a solicitation. If a solicitation is released it will be synopsized on SAM.gov. It is the interested party�s responsibility to monitor this website for the release of any subsequent solicitation or synopsis.
