Technical Overview of NSROC IV Contract Requirements

Hesh

Major Changes from NSROC III to NSROC IV

• NASA Civil Servant Mission Managers

• Government will be the primary interface to the customer (Principal Investigator) for each mission to directly manage expectations versus capabilities and ensure the appropriate approaches are taken to achieve mission success.

• Government will manage the risks associated with each mission, since, ultimately, the Government is held accountable by stakeholders (Center and HQ management) when risks are realized or an anomaly or failure occurs.

• Government desires to maintain the technical expertise in-house to execute missions. The Mission Manager is the singular position that will allow the Government to achieve this goal with minimal impact on the Contractor staff.

• Variance Factors

• Pre-bid variance factors will augment the mission complexity levels – captures mission specific characteristics outside the baseline mission complexity levels

• Enhanced (Level 1 and Level 2), Remote, Second Attempt, Quality

• Core Contract to Hybrid Core/IDIQ Contract

• Routine management and DRPA work will be implemented under core side of contract

• Missions and non-routine work will be implemented under IDIQ side of contract

• Allows for more flexibility and faster implementation for non-routine work

• Fee Structure – Technical Performance Incentive Fee to Award Fee

• Removes TPIF based on mission outcome due to NASA Civil Servant Mission Manager approach

• Allows all areas of SOW to be evaluated for fee

• NSROC accountability for mission success will be assessed at the requirements matrix level

– NSROC is responsible for installation and removal of launchers at various sites as tasked by SRPO

Payload components

Payload support systems include recovery systems, telemetry, boost guidance systems, Attitude Control Systems, deployment mechanisms, and a shutter door among others. Mission requirements determine which support systems are used.

Parachute Recovery The NSROC Forward Ogive Recovery System Assembly (NFORSe) houses the parachute, heatshield, and nosecone deployment mechanism

ACS

Attitude Control Systems (ACS) are used to align the payload in space.

Boost Guidance The S19 is a boost guidance system that keeps the vehicle on a pre-programmed track for the early portion of the flight. Vendor-provided system.

Telemetry The Telemetry system enables experiment data to be transmitted to a ground station.

Experiment Section This section houses the scientific instruments.

Shutter Door Used mainly for telescope payloads, the shutter door is opened in space allowing the telescope to see the target of investigation.

Total 1,000

Procurement Overview - Overall Evaluation (cont)

• Cost Factor

Proposed costs in the Cost Exhibits will be assessed to determine reasonableness and cost realism.

The total Firm Fixed-Priced Phase-in and the total contract proposed and probable costs will be presented to the Source Selection Authority.

• Past Performance Factor Past Performance will evaluate each Offeror’s record (including the records of any significant subcontractors) for performing recent, relevant contracts.

A “recent” contract is a contract that is ongoing or completed less than 5 years prior to the issuance of this RFP.

A “relevant” contract depends on the size and content of the contract with respect to this acquisition.

For a prime contractor’s contract reference(s) to be considered at least minimally “relevant”, it must meet/exceed an average annual cost/fee incurred of at least $10M.

• Past Performance Factor, continued A proposed significant subcontractor for this procurement is defined as any proposed subcontractor that is estimated to meet/exceed an average annual cost/fee of $5M.

A Prime Offeror shall furnish past performance information for all of its most recent contracts (completed and ongoing) for similar efforts with a minimum average annual cost/fee incurred of $10M that it has had within the last 5 years of the RFP release date.

The Offeror shall provide past performance information for any significant subcontractor(s) for those similar efforts within the last 5 years of the RFP release date with a minimum average annual cost/fee incurred of at least 25% of the estimated average annual dollar value of the proposed significant subcontract.

Procurement Overview - Subcontracting Goals

• The Contracting Officer’s assessment of appropriate subcontracting goals for this acquisition, expressed as a percent of TOTAL CONTRACT VALUE (BASIC AND ALL OPTIONS COMBINED), is as follows:

Small Businesses (SB) 30.00% Small Disadvantaged Business Concerns (SDB) 5.00% Women Owned Small Business Concerns (WOSB) 2.00% Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU) 2.50% HUBZone Small Business Concerns (HBZ) 2.50% Veteran Owned Small Business Concerns (VOSB) 3.50% Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business Concerns (SDVOSB) 2.50%

Procurement Overview - Relative Order of Importance of Evaluation Factors

• The Cost Factor is significantly less important than the combined importance of the Mission Suitability Factor and the Past Performance Factor

• As individual factors, the Cost Factor is less important than the Mission Suitability Factor but more important than the Past Performance Factor
