If work was performed as a subcontractor, please indicate percentage of work/subcontract dollar value. If the contract(s) were IDIQ, please indicate the number of task orders awarded and the total dollar value of those task orders. In addition to the information requested above, interested parties may also provide optional comments on this potential acquisition regarding proposed contract type, incentive arrangements, evaluation criteria, or performance metrics. Specifically, interested parties are requested to address the following items: What documents would you like to see on the IMOC III contract website or included in the Technical Library? If this contract is not set aside, how can NASA design/structure the contract to ensure that small business goals are met or exceeded? Considering the extension of ISS Operations through 2030, and other NASA programs and missions on the horizon, what are the potential advantages of a contract period of performance beyond 5 years? Are there any disadvantages? NASA invests significant time and resources into certifying qualified fight controllers and instructors across multiple programs. With the end of ISS planned to be 2030, the ongoing increase in career opportunities with other aerospace companies, and the long lead time in training flight controllers and instructors, NASA is concerned with recruiting and retaining the required personnel long enough to see a return on this significant training investment and meet the needs of all programs, which have varying flight frequencies and durations. How can the contract be structured to mitigate this issue? What are industry best practices, including any innovations or efficiencies and added value? What were the lessons learned from other industries or agencies? What innovations might you propose in the performance of this contract or contract structure? If the Government issues a Request for Proposal (RFP), the government reserves the right to restrict the procurement to small businesses. Telephone inquiries will not be accepted or acknowledged, and no feedback or evaluations will be provided to companies regarding their submissions. NASA Clause 1852.215-84, Ombudsman, is applicable. The Center Ombudsman for this acquisition can be found at https://www.hq.nasa.gov/office/procurement/regs/Procurement-Ombuds-Comp-Advocate-Listing.pdf Organizational Conflicts of Interest (OCI): In addition to the information requested above, NASA is requesting information from industry regarding potential OCI arising from the IMOC III acquisition. The nature of the work anticipated under the IMOC III contract may create the potential for OCI as currently described in FAR Subpart 9.5. Each interested party should review FAR Subpart 9.5 in light of NASA’s anticipation of OCI issues and consider carefully the extent to which an OCI may arise before making the decision to compete for IMOC III. Specifically, NASA anticipates that the effort under IMOC III will include the following types of tasks, which could lead to potential OCI issues: Partner directly with NASA vendors to provide select Plan, Train, Fly (PTF) services in support of NASA’s Low Earth Orbit (LEO) commercialization objectives. Provide operational assessments to NASA of NASA and vendor component and system designs, design requirements, analysis, and models developed for: Artemis (including Orion, Gateway, HLS, SLS) International Space Station (ISS) (including LEO commercialization objectives) Extravehicular Activities (EVA) Commercial crew and cargo providers New technology development Provide support to NASA for NASA and vendor design, development, and technical integration operations activities for programs and projects including: Generic analysis and trade studies Reference mission development Operations concepts development Spacecraft and payload safety compliance Risk management Provide support to NASA for the development of NASA and/or vendor PTF processes, standards, products, and training/certification requirements used for spaceflight mission operations planning, training, and execution activities for programs and projects. Monitor, evaluate, and provide feedback to the NASA certifying official, as part of the documented NASA certification process, on student (e.g., crew, flight controllers, instructors, analysts) and training systems performance for certification and mission training activities. Monitor, evaluate, and provide feedback on non-FOD student and training systems performance for certification and mission training activities (e.g., Engineering or Program personnel, International Partners, External/Commercial partners). Provide support to NASA for the development of NASA and/or vendor user requirements and user verification and acceptance testing for user applications, mission systems, training systems, and test facilities within the associated facilities that are developed and maintained by Contractors Access to Government Sensitive Information such as pre-decisional information associated with on-going or future NASA projects that may result in future competitive procurements Access to a Contractor, Grantee, and Space Act Agreement Participant’s proprietary information where said Contractor, Grantee, and Space Act Agreement Participant is not the IMOC III Contractor These types of tasks could lead to the following categories of OCI issues depending on the composition of the team selected for the anticipated IMOC III contract: Unequal access to nonpublic information of the type that may provide the IMOC III Contractor an unfair competitive advantage in a later competition for a government procurement contract Potentially creating biased ground rules by providing technical assessments and advice to NASA personnel on specific technologies and methodologies that may affect NASA’s preparation of a specification of work, other contractual requirements, or NASA’s evaluation of proposals in a future competitive procurement Potential impaired objectivity if the IMOC III contractor or its subcontractors are assessing data developed by themselves, related companies (e.g., affiliates, joint ventures, partnerships, etc.), or subcontractor A link to the NASA’s Guide on Organizational Conflicts of Interest is below: https://nasa.gov/sites/default/files/atoms/files/nasa_organizational_conflicts_of_interest.pdf Please reference this document for additional information about NASA’s policies with respect to OCI issues. Interested parties are requested to address the following questions: What type(s) of OCI issues would your company or potential team identify, if any, should you choose to propose on the IMOC III contract? 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. Are there any other types of potential OCI issues with the proposed IMOC III contract that were not identified in this RFI? Does your company foresee any OCI issues associated with the IMOC III that would cause you to decide not to propose on the potential IMOC III RFP? If so, please explain. NASA will review any responses received regarding potential OCI and each offeror’s proposed OCI mitigation strategy. NASA will respond to each company who submits an OCI mitigation strategy. NASA’s response will simply be an attempt to examine circumstances which might lead to or eliminate an OCI and is not intended to serve as a confirmation that, in fact, all potential OCI issues have been identified, that an OCI will ultimately exist, or that an interested party is capable of successfully eliminating or mitigating an identified OCI. NASA’s response is also not intended to encourage or discourage any interested party fro...
