Master PEMSS Industry Day Q and A Spreadsheet_27Aug2026.pdf

This is a Questions and Answers (Q&A) document from NASA addressing industry inquiries regarding the FEMIS Market Research Industry Day held on August 22, 2025.

The document addresses 57 questions spanning multiple contract management and technical topics. Key themes include Labor Category Descriptions and whether they will be updated on subsequent postings to FPDS; whether Draft PWS paragraphs 4.1.7 through 4.1.7.6 describe engineering disciplines and whether cost-plus-fixed-fee contracting applies; PWS 2.5 site visit details and baseline minimum on-site percentages; PWS 4.1.7.4 regarding Government-provided items, tools, and calibration specifics; evaluation criteria incorporation into the Draft RFP; and PWS 2.6.5 regarding Power Systems Design and Development. Additional questions address presentation slides and materials posting timelines; facility clearance requirements and Top Secret/SCI Facility Clearance (TSCFC) and Facility-Related Security Clearance processing; Draft RFP provision of historical work package quantities and pricing; Industry Day-related questions on recorded sessions and attendee lists; and the estimated WYE count by major functional area and Labor Category Description in the Draft Request for Proposal. The responses confirm that Labor Category Descriptions will be updated on subsequent FPDS postings, that evaluation criteria will be included in the Draft RFP, that NASA will publish the draft language prior to the RFP release, that facility clearances are required as proposed, and that NASA will provide the estimated WYE count by major functional area in the Draft RFP, though details on historical work package quantities and specific pricing methodologies remain limited or unavailable at the time of the Industry Day event.
