- Description
- This is a draft SOW only. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) John C. Stennis Space Center (SSC) Office of Procurement (OP) is seeking potential sources from all categories of Large and Small Businesses with the capabilities and experience to provide the requirement described herein. The purpose of this Sources Sought Notice, therefore, is to conduct market research to determine potential sources, capabilities of Small Business firms, availability of services, appropriate terms and conditions, lead time of delivery/period of performance, transportation options, etc. necessary to provide the required services to SSC. SSC has set a distance restriction for the contractor's location to be no further than 175 nautical miles from SSC. SSC wishes to determine if there is Small Business (SB), Small Disadvantaged Business (SDB), Certified 8(a) Small Business, HUBZone Small Business (HUBZone), Woman-Owned Small Business (WOSB), Veteran-Owned Small Business (VOSB), Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB), or (HBCU), firms with the capabilities and experience to meet the Government's requirement, and the appropriate level of competition and/or Small Business subcontracting goals, if applicable. The NAICS Code and Size Standard for this requirement are 336611 and 1,250 Employees, respectively. The work to be performed includes the dry docking, inspecting, cleaning, fabricating as required, abrasive blasting, painting, and making miscellaneous repairs to SSC's Push Boat, Clermont II. A draft Statement of Work (SOW) is included on the Sources Sought Notice. Note: The attachments referenced in the SOW are not available at this time. SSC is particularly interested in industry's input regarding the following questions: 1. Would the vendor be interested in bidding on a firm fixed price contract with a portion of Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) work for the refurbishment of a push boat? 2. If not, what is inhibiting the vendor's interest? Please be specific. 3. If the vendor is not interested in bidding, can recommendations of other potential vendors that may be interested be provided? 4. In the vendor's experience, what is a typical refurbishment time for a push boat described below and work described in the draft SOW? 5. What is the best approach bidding fixed priced elements, i.e. labor rates, structural steel, welding? 6. Describe any industry practices that would need to be included in the requirements. The information gathered from this Sources Sought Notice will be used for market research analysis and to plan future procurements. Based upon information submitted in response to this Sources Sought Notice, NASA will determine the final content of any future solicitation(s). The Government reserves the right to consider a Small, 8(a), SDV, or HUBZone small business set-aside based on responses hereto for this requirement. A determination by the Government not to procure this requirement, based upon responses to this notice or other market research, is solely within the discretion of the Government. Although all comments received will be carefully reviewed and considered for inclusion in any possible later action, the initiators of this request make no commitment to include any particular recommendations. Respondents will NOT be notified of the results of the evaluation of submissions received. This notice should not be construed as a formal Request for Quotation (RFQ) or Proposal (RFP) (solicitation). Responses to this notice are not offers and cannot be accepted by NASA to form a binding contract. This notice is not to be construed as a commitment by the Government to make a purchase, nor will the Government pay for the information solicited or be held liable for any information obtained. Those companies who wish to express an interest to the notice are asked to submit a written Statement of Capability (SOC) that addresses high-level alternatives; general, market-based approaches; experience in this area; knowledge of the work involved; professional resources; and answers to the specific questions requested above. Submission of any information in response to this notice is completely voluntary. Responses should be based on the material contained in this notice and any other relevant information the contractor thinks is appropriate. Comments or suggestions relevant to this requirement are welcome and may also be included in the response. Contractors are welcome to submit any additional documentation that may support their ability to comply with the Government's requirement. Responses shall include the company's specific area of interest in this requirement as being either a potential prime contractor, subcontractor, or other.
