In addition, statements such as “standard procedures will be employed,” or “well-known techniques will be used,” are not acceptable. Information may not be incorporated by reference.

(c) Although the Government does not encourage/discourage enhancements to the contract’s technical performance documents (e.g., Statement of Work, Specification, etc.), Offerors may choose to propose performance enhancements. In order for the Government to consider a proposed enhancement’s value, the Offeror must clearly define the enhancement(s) in Contract Attachment T, “Contractor Proposed Enhancements,” in performance work statement (PWS) language in accordance with the PWS instructions in Attachment T. In addition, the Offeror must describe the associated benefit(s) of the proposed enhancement(s) in its Mission Suitability Volume under the applicable Mission Suitability subfactor(s). The Offeror shall include Contract Attachment T as part of the model contract in the Contract Volume of the proposal. The Offeror may receive credit for the proposed enhancement(s) only to the extent of its description in Attachment T, and the associated benefits explained in its Mission Suitability Volume.

Inconsistent statements about any enhancement(s) in an Offeror’s proposal may result in a neutral or negative evaluation by the Government. Any enhancement(s) may result in a positive, neutral, or negative evaluation in spite of the Governments right to waive an enhancement(s) during contract performance in accordance with the GSFC 52.211-100, “Contractor Proposed Enhancements,” clause in Section H of the contract. If the successful offer does not include any proposed enhancements, GSFC clause 52.211-100 and Attachment T will be removed from the resultant contract.

(d) The offeror shall provide, at the beginning of this volume using the table provided below, a detailed compliance matrix that cross-references the offeror’s numbering structure and corresponding volume page number with all requirements associated with each subfactor delineated in paragraph (d) below. The offeror may utilize its own unique numbering structure provided the compliance matrix provides clear traceability to each of the subfactor requirements described below.

The paragraph numbering is only provided for clarity, traceability, and ease of reading between Mission Suitability Sections L and M.

Subfactor A – Management Approach

Management Structure and Subcontracting Approach

The Offeror shall provide a brief description of its proposed management structure, including an organizational chart for the NSROC IV contract, identifying all managerial and functional lead positions by title.

The Offeror shall briefly describe its strategy for using (or not using) significant subcontractors (based on the definition of significant subcontractor in the cost volume instructions). If significant subcontractors are proposed, the Offeror shall briefly identify the interfaces between its organizational structure and the significant subcontractors and provide (1) the basis for selection of the subcontractor; (2) the nature and extent of the work to be performed by the subcontractor; and (3) the benefits of these arrangements to the Government.

Supply Chain Management

The Offeror shall briefly describe how it will provide sustaining engineering, supply chain management, and logistics support for Installation Accountable Government Property (IAGP) in accordance with relevant portions of SOW Section 2.1.3.2 requirements (acquire, receive, inspect, test, and accept into inventory all new program equipment, hardware, materials, and supplies).

Programmatic Challenges

The Offeror shall propose solutions and provide its management approach to the top Program challenges as defined in Enclosure 1 along with the rationale and justification for how the proposed solutions will enhance the ability to meet the NSRP's requirement.

1. Civil Servant Mission Managers

2. Staffing

3. Program Efficiencies

Government Driven Requirements Changes

The Offeror shall describe its approach to how it will receive, communicate, manage, and implement frequent requirement, schedule, and priority changes from the Government for DRPAs, MTOs, and PTOs across the NSROC organization, in particular:

Its approach for managing the proposed work and the workforce to concurrently execute the CORE and IDIQ requirements, particularly during periods of fluctuating (high or low) mission activities and how it will utilize overtime;

Its approach for managing the DRPA and PTO requirements, schedules, and budgets;

Its approach for identifying, communicating, and resolving conflicting priorities and resource conflicts (personnel, facilities, hardware, and equipment) both internally within the NSROC organization and with the Government.

Systems Engineering Approach

The Contractor shall briefly describe its Systems Engineering approach and how it will be applied on missions, DRPAs, and PTOs.

Staffing

The Offeror shall provide a complete staffing plan that describes how the Offeror intends to staff this effort and how the approach will allow the Offeror to meet the requirements of this contract.

The staffing plan shall include a comprehensive hiring plan which presents the expected number of personnel to be hired from incumbents, those to be transferred from within the Offeror’s own organization, and those from other sources, as well as the associated strategy for achieving each aspect of the proposed hiring plan. Additionally, describe any proposed staffing reach-back to corporate resources or supplemental capabilities and how they will be utilized on the NSROC contract.

Critical Positions

The Offeror shall describe up to 10 of the most important positions considered critical to meet the requirements of the contract. The descriptions shall include the rationale for identifying these positions as critical. The descriptions shall also include a list of the qualifications associated with each position. The list shall include the position title, to whom the position reports, summary of duties and responsibilities, specific requirements/licensing, and minimum education/experience qualifications required for the position. All position qualifications will be incorporated into the resultant contract as Attachment R.

Phase-In Plan

The Offeror shall provide a phase-in plan in accordance with Enclosure 2 (Phase-In SOW) that will ensure continuity and a smooth transition with the incumbent Contractor during the 60-day phase-in period. The phase-in plan shall clearly demonstrate an ability to assume full contract responsibility on the effective date of the contract. The phase-in plan shall also specifically address how ongoing work will be transitioned, the proposed management organization (if different than A1), schedule, orientation and training of personnel, including personnel who may be in the field supporting operations during phase-in and the start of the NSROC IV contract. If the effort involves onsite performance, the Offeror shall address its preparation for the timely processing of the Personal Identify Verification (PIV) requirements. The Offeror’s proposed Phase-In Plan shall describe how the security challenges associated with International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) 22 C.F.R. Chapter I, Subchapter M Parts 120-130 requirements and the requirements for HSPD-12 facility personnel access and personnel security clearance processes will be prepared for during phase-in so as to prevent work interruptions on the contract effective date. If the phase-in plan assumes any dependency upon the incumbent contractor, the Offeror shall identify the dependencies. Also, specify the extent of involvement of NASA personnel during this period. The 60-day phase-in period will be accomplished through the issuance of a separate firm fixed-price contract vehicle. The proposed phase-in plan will become an attachment and contractual requirement for the separate phase-in contract.

Total Compensation Plan

The Offeror shall provide a Total Compensation Plan (TCP) for all personnel (Prime and On-site subcontractors) proposed, in accordance with NFS provision 1852.231-71, “Determination of Compensation Reasonableness,” and FAR provision 52.222-46, “Evaluation of Compensation for Professional Employees.” The required TCP shall:

Classify all labor categories proposed as “exempt” or “non-exempt” positions. Briefly define the terms “exempt” and “non-exempt” as used by the Offeror's organization and correlate this definition with that provided for in the Code of Federal Regulations.

Identify the categories of personnel that are in a bona fide executive, administrative or professional capacity as defined by FAR 22.1102 and 29 CFR 541.

In accordance with the Exhibits 11 and11A ""Fringe Benefits Chart"", the Offeror and all service subcontractors (as defined in paragraph (d) of NFS provision 1852.231-71) shall provide a detailed list of their fringe benefits and company estimated cost per hour, along with an itemization of the benefits that require employee contributions and the amount of that contribution as a percentage of the total cost of the benefit. Two exhibits shall be submitted, one containing the average of fringe benefit information for all the exempt labor categories and one containing the average of fringe benefit information for all the non-exempt labor categories. (The Mission Suitability Proposal must not include Exhibits 11 and 11A but should reference where the information appears in the Cost Proposal.)

Provide supporting data, such as recognized national, regional, and local compensation surveys and studies of professional, public and private organizations, used in establishing the total professional compensation structure.

Safety and Health Plan

The Offeror shall provide a safety and health plan in accordance with NFS Provision 1852.223- 73, “Safety and Health Plan”. The Offeror shall also address, within the plan, its approach to provide adequate protection to subcontractor employees of every tier.

This plan, as approved by the Government, will be included in any resulting contract. Offerors are directed to RFP Enclosure 3 regarding the contents of Safety and Health Plan.

The Offeror shall indicate if any of the standard contents of the Safety and Health Plan, as prescribed by RFP Enclosure 3, would not be applicable to this specific contract, and provide an explanation for that determination.

The Offeror’s plan shall address their approach to handling the hazardous materials identified in Section I, “Hazardous Material Identification and Material Safety Data” (FAR 52.223-3-- Alternate I), if applicable.

Subfactor B – Technical Approach

Innovations

The Offeror shall propose innovations and technical approaches for addressing no more than two of the five SRPO Technology Roadmap Goals found in Enclosure 4. The entire goal does not have to be addressed, the Offeror can propose a component, piece of hardware, software, etc. that contributes to achieving the goal and does not have to be one of the items already listed under "Core Technologies". The Offeror shall: (i) describe its technical approach for defining requirements, conducting research, performing engineering studies, conducting qualification efforts, and implementation for each of the proposed innovations; (ii) specifically describe the types of hardware, software, or operational aspects of its approach in the context of how the innovation will fit into existing sounding rocket infrastructure, help enhance its ability to meet requirements, further the Technology Roadmap Goals, and benefit the NSRP; and (iii) provide a cost benefit analysis for the innovations as well as a description of whether the innovation will be implemented in house or via an outside vendor. Offerors shall assume that a substantial increase of Government funding to the NSRP budget to execute these proposed innovations is not a viable solution.

B.2 Representative Task Orders

The Offeror shall provide written task plans addressing each representative task included as Enclosure 5 and 6. In accordance with the Task Ordering Procedure clause in Section I.19 of this solicitation, each task plan shall identify the technical approach, labor categories, projected hours, Government interface, and the flow of activities from start to completion (including timeline). The plan must be sufficiently specific, detailed, and complete to demonstrate a clear and full understanding of the objectives; potential technical problems, risks, and critical issues;

and possible problem mitigation/resolution. Any assumptions made in preparing a response to these representative tasks orders shall be clearly stated. The Offeror shall provide responses to the following two (2) Representative Task Orders (RTOs) contained in Enclosures 5 and 6:

1. Multiple Simultaneous Campaigns

2. Integrated Power System Design Study

All RTO Cost Exhibits shall be submitted in the Contract Cost Proposal Volume only. Where narrative responses to the functional requirements duplicate other portions of the Offeror's proposal, the Offeror may reference those page numbers and not include the duplicate information.

B.2.1 Representative Task Order (RTO) #1

The Offeror shall provide an overall narrative on its approach for management and implementation of the Multiple Simultaneous Campaigns defined in Enclosure 5. The narrative response shall include an integrated schedule and narrative identifying assumptions, proposed efficiencies, cost savings, and resource conflicts with resolution. Task Implementation Plans (TIPs) and cost estimates as defined in Enclosure 5 shall be provided for Mission 48.656 (MCL 4), Mission 35.777 (MCL 3), Mission 36.567 (MCL 2), and Mission 41.987 (MCL1). This provides a TIP and cost estimate for each of the four Mission Complexity Levels flown in the NASA Sounding Rocket Program (NSRP). included in RTO #1.

B.2.2 Representative Task Order (RTO) #2

The Offeror shall provide a Task Implementation Plan and cost estimate for the Integrated Power System Design Study defined in Enclosure 6. The Task Implementation Plan shall include the technical approach, schedule, staffing plan, risk identification and mitigation, and assumptions.

B.3 CORE Contract Hours and Skill Mix

The Offeror shall identify the proposed labor categories, description of proposed labor categories, and hours (both regular and overtime (if applicable)) required to accomplish the entire CORE SOW requirement.

Subfactor C – Small Business Utilization (SBU)

All Offerors, except small businesses, shall complete the portion of the instructions under Small Business Subcontracting specific to Small Business Subcontracting Plans. Small businesses are not required to submit Small Business Subcontracting Plans; however, small businesses shall indicate the amount of effort proposed to be done by a small business either at the prime level or at the first-tier subcontract level.

All Offerors (small businesses and other than small businesses) shall respond to the Commitment to Small Business Program.

(A) Small Business Subcontracting Plan

(1) This solicitation contains FAR clause 52.219-9, “Small Business Subcontracting Plan”. The Plan described and required by the clause, including the associated subcontracting percentage goals and subcontracting dollars, shall be submitted with the proposal.

(2) The Contracting Officer’s assessment of appropriate subcontracting goals for this acquisition, expressed as a percent of the TOTAL CONTRACT VALUE (CORE basic and all options combined plus IDIQ Maximum Ordering Value basic and all options combined), is as follows:

Small Businesses (SB) 30% Small Disadvantaged Business (SDB) Concerns 5% Women-Owned Small Business (WOSB) Concerns 2% Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU)/ Minority Serving Institutions (MSI)

2.5%

HUBZone Small Business (HBZ) Concerns 2.5% Veteran-Owned Small Business (VOSB) Concerns 3.5% Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) Concerns 2.5%

(3) The numbers above reflect the Contracting Officer’s assessment of the appropriate subcontracting goals to be achieved at the completion of contract performance. When appropriate, an Offeror may discuss plans to phase-in small business concerns, explaining the rationale for the phase-in schedule. If the Offeror anticipates that it will not meet the proposed small business goals by the time the Offeror submits its first Individual Subcontracting Report (ISR) for this effort as required by FAR clause 52.219-9, Small Business Subcontracting Plan, the Offeror should discuss its approach to include a timeline for meeting these goals and the associated rationale.

(4) Offerors are encouraged to propose goals that are equivalent to or greater than those that the Contracting Officer has recommended. However, Offerors shall perform their own independent assessments of the small business subcontracting opportunities and are encouraged to propose goals exceeding the recommended goals where practical.

(5) The Plan that the Offeror submits with its proposal shall be incorporated in Section J as Attachment I in the resulting contract. The requirements in the Plan shall flow down to first tier large business subcontracts expected to exceed $750,000 (or $1,500,000 for construction of a public facility). Although these first-tier large business subcontractors are encouraged to meet or exceed the stated goals, NASA recognizes that the subcontracting opportunities available to these subcontractors may differ from the recommended goals in the solicitation based upon the nature of their respective performance requirements.

(6) Offerors are advised that a proposal will not be rejected solely because the Plan submitted does not meet the NASA recommended goals listed in paragraph (a) (2) above in terms of percent of the TOTAL CONTRACT VALUE (CORE basic and all options combined plus IDIQ Maximum Ordering Value basic and all options combined). NASA will consider the amount of work that the prime contractor plans to perform when determining whether a subcontracting plan is acceptable. Offerors shall discuss the rationale for any goal proposed that is less than the Contracting Officer’s recommended goal in any category. In addition, the Offeror shall describe the efforts made to establish a goal for that category and what ongoing efforts, if any, the Offeror plans during contract performance to increase participation in that category.

(7) In addition to submitting a Small Business Subcontracting Plan in accordance with the Section I, FAR clause 52.219-9, Offerors shall complete SMALL BUSINESS SUBCONTRACTING PLAN GOALS included in the cost exhibits, which provide a breakdown of the Offeror’s proposed goals, by small business category, expressed in terms of both a percent of the TOTAL CONTRACT VALUE and a percent of TOTAL PLANNED SUBCONTRACTS.

Offerors shall show the proposed subcontracting goals for the basic contract requirement and each option separately.

(NOTE: FOR PURPOSES OF THE SMALL BUSINESS SUBCONTRACTING PLAN, THE

PROPOSED GOALS SHALL BE STATED AS A PERCENT OF TOTAL SUBCONTRACTS,

NOT AS A PERCENT OF THE TOTAL CONTRACT VALUE, REFER TO THE BELOW

EXAMPLE)

Example of Subcontracting Goals as expressed in both the Total Contract Value and Planned Subcontract Value for a Total Contract value of $100M and planned subcontract value of $50M.

Column A Column B Column C

Category Percent of Total Contract Value

Dollar Value

Percent of Subcontracting Value

Small Business (SB) Concerns 25 percent $25,000,000 50 percent Other than Small Business Concerns N/A $25,000,000 50 percent Total Dollars to be Subcontracted N/A $50,000,000 100 percent The following small business subcategories do not necessarily add up to the percentage and dollar amount in the “Small Business Concerns” category above, since some small businesses do not fall into any of the subcategories below, while others will fall into more than one subcategory below.

Small Disadvantaged Business (SBD) Concerns

5.5 percent $5,500,000 11 percent

Women-Owned Small Business (WOSB) Concerns

9 percent $9,000,000 18 percent

Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU)/Minority Serving Institutions (MSI)

1.5 percent $1,500,000 3 percent

HUBZone (HBZ) Small Business Concerns

1.5 percent $1,500,000 3 percent

Veteran-Owned Small Business (VOSB) Concerns

2.5 percent $2,500,000 5 percent

Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) Concerns

1.5 percent $1,500,000 3 percent

The Offeror proposes small business subcontracting goals as a percentage of the Total Contract Value in column A.

Then based on the $100 million Total Contract Value, the resulting statement of dollars that the Offeror would include in the Subcontracting Plan, as required by paragraph (d)(2) of FAR clause 52.219-9, would be as indicated in column B.

However, the Small Business Subcontracting Plan shall also express goals as a percent of total planned subcontracts. Assuming total subcontracting of $50M, the resulting percentage goals, expressed as a percent of total subcontract dollars, and which would be stated in the Small Business Subcontracting Plan as required by paragraph (d)(1) FAR clause 52.219-9 would be recorded in column C.

(B) Commitment to the Small Business Program

(1) All Offerors must briefly describe the work that small businesses will perform to meet the stated requirements. Proposals shall also identify any work to be subcontracted that is considered “High Technology.” “High Technology” is defined as research and development efforts that are within or advance the state-of-the-art in technology discipline and are performed primarily by professional engineers, scientists, and highly skilled and trained technicians or specialists.

(2) If the subcontractor(s) is known, Offerors shall describe the work that each subcontractor will perform and specify the extent of commitment to use the subcontractor(s) (enforceable vs. non-enforceable commitments). (Small Business Offerors shall provide this information to the extent that subcontracting opportunities exist in their approach to performing the requirement.)

(3) All Offerors shall provide information demonstrating the extent of commitment to utilize small business concerns and to…
