GeoXO Spacecraft Final RFP Questions and Answers
Question: FAR 52.219-9 (Sep 2023) is included in the solicitation. However, RFP, Part IV, Section L – Subfactor C – Small Business Utilization (A)(1) states that FAR
52.219-9 Alternate II is included in the solicitation. Please clarify which version to utilize?
Answer: The correct clause is FAR 52.219-9 ALT ll. The final contract will contain the correct version in Section I.
Question: Small Business Utilization (A)(7) states that offerors shall complete
Exhibits 7A, 7B, and 7C. Can the offeror utilize their own format and only include within the small business subcontracting plan itself as FAR 52.219-9 already requires this information to be included within the plan?
Answer: No, all Exhibits must be filled in and submitted with proposal.
Question: The Offeror shall propose a Master Equipment List (MEL) in Excel format in accordance with Attachment Q summarizing all major subsystem components to support validation of proposed mass estimates, power estimates, TRL, design heritage, and cost. The MEL Attachment Q matrix indicates cost is not to be included in the Column. Please clarify.
Answer: The MEL is not required to have the cost data. Please put material costs in Cost Exhibit 4.
Question: MEL has this calculation (C46+C47) for propellant/pressurant. C46 is
Instrument total mass and C47 is SC MEC dry-mass total. This calculation seems to be incorrect as the propellant mass is a calculation based on the mass and the performance of the thrusters used. Please Clarify
Answer: There should be no calculation in that cell. What is currently in the cell is incorrect. The propellant / pressurant quantity should be entered by the Offeror.
