HSFTIC website which contains the Technical Library is https://procurement.jsc.nasa.gov/hsftic/.

Comments and questions will be addressed prior to release of the Final RFP. If a respondent believes their questions/comments contain confidential, proprietary, competition sensitive, or business information, those questions/comments shall be marked appropriately. However, questions that are marked as containing confidential, proprietary, competition sensitive or business information will not be provided a Government response. Comments and questions are highly encouraged, and may be submitted anonymously if desired through the HSFTIC website above.

In addition to the above, we request feedback on the following :

Questions and comments submitted in response to the DRFP will be separated from, and have no bearing on, subsequent evaluation of proposals submitted in response to any resulting formal

RFP. The use of ideas, questions, and comments to structure the final RFP is at the discretion of the Government. Eligibility in participating in a future acquisition does not depend upon a response to this notice. The Government will not critique a potential offeror’s comments, and the DRFP should not be used by offerors to market their products/services. The DRFP does not commit the Government to award a contract nor does it obligate the Government for costs incurred in the preparation and submittal of proposals in anticipation of a contract. Responses to questions will be available at the Federal Business Opportunities, as well as the HSFTIC website.

Please note that the Section M Evaluation Criteria provided in this DRFP is being provided as pre-decisional, notional information at this point in time because the Government has not yet made a decision regarding the evaluation criteria that will actually be used for this procurement. The official evaluation criteria will be stated in the Final RFP.

All inquiries or comments concerning this DRFP should be submitted in writing via e-mail on or before September 6, 2019, for consideration during the conference. For additional information on the conference, please refer to the HSFTIC website.
