E-MAIL: Jerome G. Misch, jerry.misch@ssc.nasa.gov. NASA/SSC intends to issue a Request for Offer (RFO) for the Modification of the E-1 Test Complex Electrical Distribution at the Stennis Space Center. This acquisition was previously advertised under RFO 13-SSC-O-96-39. The RFO was cancelled due to the overstatement of the Government's minimum needs in the area of Cable Trays. The work to be performed under this project consists of providing all labor, equipment, and materials to provide all of the electrical distribution for the E-1 Test Complex. Work shall include 13.8 switchgear/transformer installation, motor control centers of various sizes electrical wiring and distribution, lighting, panel installation and cable trays. The Specification and Drawings have been revised and will be mailed under separate cover to those firms requesting copies. This solicitation will be released via the NASA Acquisition Internet Service (NAIS). All potential offerors will be responsible for downloading their own copy of the solicitation with hardcopies being made available on request, but the closing date will be the same as that required for the NAIS released solicitation. It shall be the responsibility of each offeror to monitor NAIS for solicitation releases as the solicitation will be released as soon as practicable whether prior or subsequent to April 4, 1997. This procurement is not set-aside for Small Business Concerns. The estimated price range of this procurement is $1,000,000 to $4,999,999. Transmission of requests by internet E-mail to jerry.misch@ssc.nasa.gov or by facsimile at 601-688-1852 are acceptable. An ombudsman has been appointed to hear concerns from offerors, potential offerors, and contractors during the preaward and postaward phases of this acquisition. The purpose of the ombudsman is not to diminish the authority of the contracting officer, or the selection official, but to communicate concerns, issues, disagreements, and recommendations of interested parties to the appropriate Government personnel and to work to resolve them. When requested, the ombudsman will maintain strict confidentiality in the evaluation of proposals, the source selection process, or the adjudication of formal contract disputes. Interested parties are invited to call the installation ombudsman, Mr. Mark Craig at 601-688-2123. Concerns, issues, disagreements, and recommendations which cannot be resolved at the installation may be referred to the NASA ombudsman, Mr. Tom Luedtke at 202-358-2090. Before consulting with any ombudsman, interested parties must try to resolve their concerns with the Contract Specialist or the Contracting Officer. DO NOT CALL THE OMBUDSMAN FOR SOLICITATION REQUESTS/INFORMATION. (0079)
