Question # Question Government Response
1 Can you please confirm the total volumes in scope for this RFP for KSC and CCSFS specifically? Total volumes for this acquisition are as stated in the RFP/Schedule of Supplies.
We are not quite sure how to interpret the volumes provided in the Scope of Work attachment (I have attempted to summarize below). The routine monthly volumes do not seem to line up with the annual volumes.
The table identified in the question is not part of the RFP; it is the offeror's attempt to summarize information contained in the RFP.
For CCSFS (LC-41): CLIN 5 volumes are correct for the requirements being supported in this acquisition. For KSC (Dewars): CLIN 16 BEQ to be revised from 700 to 1200 liters to reflect peak rqmt.
3 Will the volumes in scope for KSC and CCSFS support launch cadence? This acquisition is not for requirements outside of what is contained within the RFP/Schedule of Supplies.
4 From historical info, actual purchases are significantly lower than your bid estimates. Can you explain the differences ?
The solicitation and Statement of Work contain a realistic estimated total quantity. However, this information is not to be construed as a limit or guarantee of future work or the actual volume of services required, nor is it representative of an obligation or commitment of the Government.
5 Would NASA be willing to add volume thresholds if we are to price for the higher volumes, but they do not materialize during the new contract term?
No
