As previously stated, this information is for informational purposes only. Each offeror is responsible for developing it's own approach to performing the requirements of the PWS and it may use this historical data as a basis for developing it's own estimates if it so chooses, however the government does not assert to the accuracy and validity of this data.

5 The Summary

PWS

None None None Does the $2k limit on emergency tasks include cost of labor only or both labor and material?

Per PWS 8.01.c, reactive Maintenance (or 'trouble calls') are classified into three categories: Emergency, Urgent or Routine.

Urgent and Routine trouble calls have a dollar value limitation of $2,000.00 which is inclusive of all necessary labor and materials required to perform the work. Emergency Trouble Calls have a $5,000 limit that includes all labor and materials necessary to arrest the urgency. However, for all three types of trouble calls the contractor is to stop performing work on a trouble call once it believes the work to complete the trouble call will exceed the applicable dollar threshold.

PWS

None None C1.5 The Summary PWS states “The Contractor shall provide an adequate staff of personnel with the necessary management expertise, maintenance and operational skills, and maintenance engineering support to ensure adherence to NASA Facilities Maintenance and Operations Management NPR 8831.2 and NPR) 8831.2F states Maintenance Funding and Reporting: NASA targets allocating 2 to 4 percent of a facility's current replacement value for maintenance and minor repairs.

Question: Is 2 to 4 percent of all Ames facilities current replacement value for maintenance and minor repairs still an accurate estimate?

NPR 8831.2F is currently under revision by the Agency with this excerpt expected to be deleted. Additionally, this "2 to 4 percent" rule-of-thumb is also intended to include major capital investments like roof replacements, major system replacements, and renovations, all of which are out of scope for AFSS II. Therefore, due to 4these out of scope requirements in addition to various other reasons, the 2-to-4 percent rule of thumb is not an accurate estimating methodology for AFSS II contract requirement.

33 The Summary

PWS

None None C.1.5 The Summary PWS states “The Contractor shall provide an adequate staff of personnel with the necessary management expertise, maintenance and operational skills, and maintenance engineering support to ensure adherence to NASA Facilities Maintenance and Operations Management

NPR 8831.2”.

Question: Can the Government please confirm if this is accurate and if NPR 8831.2 is being rewritten? NASA Procedural Requirements (NPR) 8831.2F, titled "Facilities Maintenance and Operations Management," establishes the minimum objectives and standards for managing NASA's facilities maintenance and is only effective from October 7, 2015, to October 6, 2025?

Yes, this NPR is currently being revised. It is anticipated to be reaffirmed if the revision is not complete and in effect by the expiration date.

34 The Summary

PWS

None None C.11 The Summary PWS states “The Contractor shall conduct a comprehensive physical field inventory of all facility assets and its subcomponents at ARC, which consists of nearly 60,000 active items, during the contract phase-in period.” We believe the last Phase-In Period was only 60 days.”

Question: How long in the Phase-In Period? How long did the comprehensive physical field inventory of all facility assets and its subcomponents at ARC during the last contract phase-in period as 1,000 items a day seems quite challenging to inventory?

There was an error in the PWS that stated the Initial Joint Physical Inventory was to be completed during Phase-in, which will be corrected in the final RFP. This Initial Joint physical inventory per, PWS Section 5.05, is not required to be conducted during the Phase-in period. This will be required within the first 90 days following the end of Phase-in as per Attachment J1(a) Contract Data Requirements List, DRD 021. For clarity, this contract contains approximately 60,000 active items (i.e.. PM's), approximately 18,000 unique physical assets, and the Initial Joint Physical Inventory is conducted between the Government and the AFSS II contractor. The government anticipates modifying the PWS to more clearly state this in the final RFP. The intention of allowing 90 days for this inventory is to allow a large amount of these inventory verifications to be done as part of normal business, i.e.. when visiting hardware for weekly, monthly, and quarterly PM's to minimize additional labor needed to complete this inventory.

Please note, this question references the "Summary Performance Work Statement" issued December 2023. This document has been superseded by the J.1(a) Attachment 1 Ames Facilities Support Services Performance Work Statement in the AFSS II Draft RFP posted April 2025.
