E-MAIL: Michelle A. Mader, Michelle.A.Mader@grc.nasa.gov. NASA/GRC plans to issue a Request for Offer (RFO) for System Studies of NASA Aerospace Propulsion and Aiframe Technologies to guide technology investment decisions. This proposed study effort includes support for the Intercenter Systems Analysis Team. The Contractor will perform the required studies and analyses using the Contractor's existing "robust" design simulation system, incorporating fast probabilistic integration techniques and NASA's simulation computer codes: NEPP or NPSSv1, NCP, WATE, FLOPS, ANOPP, HSR Noise Prediction (including Jet Noise 8) or equivalent, and ALCAA. Also, using its design simulation system, the Contractor will perform the following activities: Technology Benefits Assessment, Metrics Assessments including probability of success, Sensitivities Analyses including Response Surfaces, Technology Trade Studies and optimization, Propulsion cycle and flowpath conceptual design, Aircraft Sizing, Mission and Acoustic analyses, and Cost Estimation and Market Scenarios. The Contractorwill be required to accommodate Secure Data Requirements (e.g. sensitive). This solicitation is expected to result in an Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract under which fixed-price task orders would be issued. Each NASA Research Center would be able to issue task orders, however, task collaberation between Research Centers is anticipated. The maximum contract value is estimated at $9,000,000.00, with the minimum contract value being $100,000.00. There is a potential for multiple awards, however, in such a case the total maximum value of all awarded contracts will not exceed $9,000,000.00. The period of performance for this effort will be 5 years. The Government intends to acquire a commercial item using FAR Part 12. The SIC Code and Size Standard are 8731 and 1000 employees, respectively. The DPAS Rating for this procurement is DO-A1. The provisions and clauses in the RFO and model contract are those in effect through FAC 97-15. All qualified responsible sources may submit an offer which shall be considered by the agency. The anticipated release date of the RFO is on or about May 10, 2000 with an anticipated offer due date of on or about June 27, 2000. An ombudsman has been appointed -- See Internet Note "B". The solicitation and any documents related to this procurement will be available over the Internet. These documents will be in Microsoft Office Suite (Word 6.0, Excel 5.0, PowerPoint 4.0) format and will reside on a World Wide Web (WWW) server, which may be accessed using a WWW browser application.

It is the offeror's responsibility to monitor the Internet site for the release of the solicitation and amendments (if any). Potential offerors will be responsible for downloading their own copy of the solicitation and amendments (if any).
