GeoXO Spacecraft Phase B, Implementation Procurement

Questions and Answers #2

Question:

The instructions require considerable block diagrams and schematic-like design drawings with our proposal. For example, in A.3 Spacecraft

Design: “The Offeror shall highlight, for each subsystem, any differences between the Geol and GeoS spacecraft designs. The Offeror shall provide a block diagram of all spacecraft subsystems and their components for

GeoI and GeoS.” And “The Offeror shall provide dimensioned diagrams of the proposed design.” However, these instructions, combined with the page limitations and font size requirements for graphics, negatively affects the ability to provide block diagrams and dimensioned diagrams required to effectively illustrate the systems and subsystems within the proposal volume. Would the Government consider excluding from page count the block diagrams and dimensional diagrams for the systems and subsystems required per the instructions, placing them in an appendix to the Mission Suitability Volume?”

Answer:

The final RFP will include instructions that the Offeror may include an appendix A to the Mission Suitability Volume to include diagrams.

There will be a page limit on the appendix.
