Description

NASA/Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC) has a requirement for the continuation of specialized engineering services under the Huntsville Operations Support Center (HOSC) contract, NNM17AA12C. This contract provides multi-program facilities, systems, and services, both local and remote, which support various mission phases of spacecraft payload and propulsion system operation. Programs supported by the HOSC primarily include the International Space Station (ISS) Program and the Space Launch System (SLS) Program. The HOSC has the capability to support all phases of missions including planning, testing, simulating, pre-launch, launch, and flight operations, as required by the various programs. The HOSC contractor's mission is to provide systems development, test and Operations & Maintenance (O&M) services in response to the requirements of the ISS Payload Operations Cost Account Management (CAM) Office, the Mission Operations Laboratory (MOL) and its customers. Typical HOSC activities include: requirements definition, analysis and documentation; configuration management; systems, hardware, software and network engineering; and design, development, verification, validation, delivery, operations and maintenance. In an effort to become more efficient, save cost, drive program integration, and lessen contract administrative overhead it has been determined that combining HOSC and Mission Operations and Integration (MO&I) efforts under one contract vehicle is in the Government's best interest. As a result, HOSC requirements will be combined with the MO&I requirements under a separate MSFC procurement activity to form a new contract that dictates both MO&I and HOSC requirements. A 12-month extension of the HOSC contract is required to align the MO&I contract end date with the current end date of the HOSC contract (March 31, 2019). This will provide the Procurement Development Team (PDT)/Source Evaluation Board (SEB) participants working the recompetition effort the authority and ability to combine contract requirements (SOW, DRDs, etc.) for a consolidated HOSC/MO&I procurement effort. NASA/MSFC intends to procure the continuation of services through a 12-month extension to the current HOSC contract with the COLSA Corporation under the authority of 10 U.S.C § 2304 (c) (1) and FAR 6.302-1, "Only One Responsible Source and No Other Suppliers or Services Will Satisfy Agency Requirements". The Government does not intend to acquire a commercial item using FAR Part 12. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals. All responsible sources may submit a written capability statement, which shall be considered by the Agency. Interested organizations may submit their capabilities and qualifications to perform the effort via email to wade.s.amis@nasa.gov no later than 4:00 p.m. CST on November 13, 2018. Such capabilities and qualifications will be evaluated solely for determining whether to conduct this procurement on a competitive basis. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed effort on a full and open competition basis, based upon responses to this notice, is solely within the discretion of the Government. All information received from this notice shall be used for planning purposes only. This notice is not to be construed as a commitment by the Government nor will the Government pay for information submitted. As stipulated in FAR 15.201 (e), responses to this notice are not considered offers and cannot be accepted by the Government to form a binding contract. This notice is subject to FAR 52.215-3, Request for Information or Solicitation for Planning Purposes. Any responses to this notice that are subject to export-controlled items should be properly marked as such. Oral communications are not acceptable in response to this notice. NASA Clause 1852.215-84, Ombudsman, is applicable. The Center Ombudsman for this acquisition can be found at http://prod.nais.nasa.gov/pub/pub_library/Omb.html.
