Description

Draft MOSSI PWS MOSSI Capacity Parameters The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC) is seeking capability statements and any teaming arrangements, such as mentor/protégé program and/or joint venture arrangements from all interested parties, for the purposes of determining the appropriate level of competition and/or small business subcontracting goals for a full and open competition for support for the Marshall Operations Systems, Services and Integration (MOSSI) acquisition at MSFC. The Government reserves the right to conduct a Small, 8(a), Women-Owned (WOSB), Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned (SDVOSB), or HUBZone business set-aside based on responses hereto. This acquisition will combine the efforts of the current MSFC Mission Operations & Integration (MO&I) and Huntsville Operations Support Center (HOSC) contracts. The MOSSI acquisition will provide support and products for the development and execution of spaceflight operations that are the responsibility of the Payload and Mission Operations Division (PMOD) within the Human Exploration Development and Operations (HEDO) Office. Customer and stake-holder support is provided for mission ground systems development and operations in support of NASA programs, project offices, staff offices, NASA contractors, payload developers, educational institutions, international partner space agencies, and individuals within these organizations. Other private and public industry companies with capabilities for new space markets are also potential customers. The scope of the MOSSI effort includes all life-cycle phases (A-F) for capability and operations development, implementation, and close-out. The selected contractor will be tasked to provide operations support for all mission phases (e.g., planning, testing, simulations, pre-launch, ascent, checkout, mission operations, de-orbit and descent, landing and post-landing, system sustaining, decommissioning). The MOSSI core mission service provides payload operations support to the International Space Station (ISS) Program. Support will also be required for new or evolving NASA programs including Space Launch System (SLS) and other satellite projects. The contractor will perform International Space Station (ISS) Payload operations and will provide the capability to accomplish preparation, planning, training, and execution of on-orbit payload operations and post-flight and post-increment functions. MOSSI includes the management, development, and implementation of the Payload Operations Integration Center (POIC) major Information Technology (IT) investment as defined by Office of Management and Budget (OMB). The development activities involved in this contract will encompass the entire life-cycle of ground systems development. Typical activities include: operations concept analysis; requirements definition and analysis, design, development, test, and implementation. The systems operations and maintenance functions include: sustaining engineering of developed systems for both local and remote locations; operations activity preparation and simulation; mission evaluation activities; hardware and software maintenance; systems and facilities operations; data collection, processing, distribution, and storage; decommission, transition, and close-out of all systems. This work is presently being integrated by the Government and is performed under two separate contracts; the Mission Operations & Integration (MO&I) contract NNM13AA29C with Teledyne Brown Engineering, and the Huntsville Operations Support Center (HOSC) contract NNM17AA12C with COLSA Corporation. Attached separately is a draft version of the MOSSI performance work statement (PWS) and a listing of capacity parameters that may be used for understanding the complexity of the effort. Interested parties are requested to provide comments on the PWS requirements document. Of particular interest are comments relative to the management and technical integration of the effort along with the management of a major IT investment. Interested parties are requested to submit statements of experience relevant to the attached PWS. Including but not limited to the following areas: Human spaceflight operations and integration experience; High-risk, hazardous human operations and integration activities in remotely-controlled closed environments other than space; or Unmanned spaceflight operations and integration experience. Interested parties are also requested to submit capability statements relative to the socioeconomic categories specified in this notice (or resubmit if previously submitted) demonstrating the capability of the potential offeror and potential teaming partners to successfully perform and integrate the technical requirements to maximize efficiency and reduce costs. Previously submitted statements may be resubmitted with any changes to the previous submission highlighted for ease of reference. The size standard for the established NAICS code of 541715 is 1,250 employees. The estimated award date for this contract is late FY2019. No solicitation exists; therefore, do not request a copy of the solicitation. If a solicitation is released, it will be synopsized on FedBizOpps at www.fbo.gov. It is the potential offeror's responsibility to monitor this site for the release of any pre-solicitation synopsis and solicitation. The requirement is not only considered a commercial type service. This synopsis is for information and planning purposes and is not to be construed as a commitment by the Government nor will the Government pay for information solicited or provided. Respondents will not be notified of the results of the evaluation. All responses shall be submitted to Jane Thomas-Bush, Contracting Officer at jane.thomas.bush@nasa.gov, telephone (256) 961-2117. Please reference 80MSFC18R0023 in any response.
