Failure to provide the requested data or to comply with the instructions in this notice may result in an evaluation that a firm is non-responsive.

The following factors will be used in the evaluation of the SF 330 submittals in response to this synopsis.

NASA will consider the immediate past six (6) years from the date of this synopsis as the period of time for evaluation.

1. Professional qualifications necessary for satisfactory performance of required services.

• One (1) Architect AIA with demonstrated design and ESDC experience of architectural systems.

2. Specialized experience and technical competence in the types of work required.

Provide no more than fifteen (15) projects in Section F of the SF 330. Firms must include the customer’s/owner’s point-of-contact (POC), project title and location (include a customer’s identification number, if applicable, such as delivery order number/s, contract number) in Section F of each SF 330 for each project. All projects must be ongoing or completed within six (6) years from the date of this synopsis. For submittal purposes, a single project may be considered to include multiple phases of a single effort, even under separate task orders, to include planning and feasibility studies, permitting, preliminary engineering reports, design, engineering services during construction, activation and commissioning. General engineering contracts, IDIQ contracts, basic agreements, and basic ordering agreements are not considered “projects.” One task order under an IDIQ/general engineering contract will be considered one “project.” Firms are encouraged to submit projects that demonstrate their experience in design of a variety of the systems listed above.
