- Description
- This is modification one to the synopsis entitled JSC Environmental Services Sources Sought Synopsis, NNJ12ZBJ004L, which was posted on 5/1/2012. You are notified that the following changes are made: NASA/JSC is requesting information from industry regarding potential organizational conflicts of interest (OCI) arising from the JSC Environmental Services (JES) procurement. The nature of the work anticipated under the JES procurement may create a situation where there could be the potential for OCI as currently described in FAR Subpart 9.5. Each potential offeror should review FAR Subpart 9.5 in light of NASAs anticipation of OCI issues and consider carefully the extent to which an OCI may arise before making the decision to compete for the JES procurement. Specifically, NASA anticipates that the effort under the JES procurement will include the following types of tasks which could lead to potential OCI issues. This list is not all inclusive. Environmental oversight of onsite contractors/subcontractors Waste disposition (reuse, recycle, treatment, disposal) A link to the NASA Guide on Organizational Conflicts of Interest has been posted to the JES procurement website at: http://procurement.jsc.nasa.gov/jes.Please reference this document for additional information about NASAs policies with respect to OCI issues. You are requested to provide electronic responses via e-mail to the Contract Specialist listed at the end of this synopsis.Your response is requested by 5:00 p.m. local time on August 3, 2012. Potential offerors are requested to address the following questions: 1.What type of OCI issues would your company or potential team identify, if any, should you choose to propose on the JES 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 JES contract that were not identified in this RFI (assuming any were identified)? 4.Does your company foresee any OCI issues associated with the JES procurement that would cause you to decide not to propose on the potential JES RFP? NASA intends to assess any responses received regarding potential OCI and each offerors proposed OCI mitigation strategy, responding to each company who submits a mitigation strategy in writing. NASAs response will simply be an attempt to preliminarily examine possible circumstances which might lead to or eliminate an OCI. It will not be a confirmation that, in fact, an OCI will ultimately exist or that an offeror can successfully eliminate or mitigate an OCI. Furthermore, the response in no way alters or interprets the application of FAR 9.5 as it applies to a final statement of work or a final proposal submission, should a potential offeror elect to submit a proposal in response to an RFP issued under a solicitation for JSC Environmental Service. Subsequent to the initial submission and response, the Government will not consider further information as it relates to this RFI. The documents on the NASA procurement 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 potential offeror 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. The Government intends to release the names, addresses, and points of contact of all respondents unless specifically requested not to do so by the respondent. All questions should be directed to the point of contact identified below. In accordance with FAR 15.201(e), responses to this notice are not offers and cannot be accepted by the Government to form a binding contract.The Government is under no obligation to issue a solicitation or to award any contract on the basis of this RFI. The Government 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 in FedBizOpps and on the NASA Acquisition Internet Service.It is the potential offerors responsibility to monitor these sites for the release of any solicitation or synopsis. Documents related to this procurement will be available over the Internet. These documents will reside on a World Wide Web (WWW) server, which may be accessed using a WWW browser application. The Internet site, or URL, for the NASA/JSC Business Opportunities home page is http://prod.nais.nasa.gov/cgi-bin/eps/bizops.cgi?gr=D&pin=73 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).
