TO: All Potential Offerors
SUBJECT: Draft Request for Proposal (DRFP), Solicitation No. 80KSC027R0001, for Spaceport Infrastructure Maintenance and Operations (SIMO)
You are invited to review and comment on the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Kennedy Space Center's (KSC) Spaceport Infrastructure Maintenance and Operations (SIMO) DRFP. The principal purpose of this acquisition is to acquire maintenance and operations (M&O) of NASA facilities, systems, equipment, and utilities (FSEU) at KSC and Cape Canaveral Space Force Station (CCSFS), as well as logistics and related services for the Spaceport Integration (SI) organization and coordination of facility usage by NASA and other spaceport customers. The resultant contract may also be used to meet future M&O, logistics, and engineering requirements at Wallops Flight Facility (WFF) through Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (ID/IQ) Task Order.
Potential offerors are encouraged to comment on all aspects of the draft solicitation, including the requirements, schedules, proposal instructions, and evaluation approaches, any perceived safety, occupational health, security (including information technology security), environmental, export control, and/or other programmatic risk issues associated with performance of the work. In addition, potential Offerors are requested to identify any unnecessary or inefficient requirements and ways to increase efficiency in proposal preparation, proposal evaluation, negotiation, and contract award.
NASA will conduct this acquisition as a full and open competition. This competitive acquisition will result in a single award firm-fixed-price contract with a firm-fixed-price core requirement and firm-fixed-price IDIQ contract capability. The contract will have a total potential period of performance of eight years, with a 18-month base period, three two-year option periods, followed by a 6-month option period as follows:
Base period: April 1, 2027, to September 30, 2028 (18 months) Option 1: October 1, 2028, to September 30, 2030 (2 years) Option 2: October 1, 2030, to September 30, 2032 (2 years) Option 3: October 1, 2032, to September 30, 2034 (2 years) Option 4: October 1, 2034, to March 31, 2035 (6 months)
The services to be performed under the resultant contract will be performed primarily at KSC, Florida and CCSFS, Florida (NASA facilities only). The resultant contract may also be used to meet future M&O, logistics, and engineering requirements at WFF. The North American Industry Classification System code for this acquisition is 561210 and the small business size standard is $47 million.
Potential offerors should ensure their company is listed in the online database(s) for the following:

4. The SIMO acquisition website is at https://www.nasa.gov/kennedy/seb/simo/. This website provides potential Offerors access to a library of technical documents applicable to this acquisition.
5. Proposals for any resultant solicitation must be submitted through NASA's Enterprise File Sharing and Sync Box (EFSS Box), a FedRAMP Moderate certified platform.
Potential Offerors, especially those that have not previously submitted a proposal utilizing NASA's EFSS Box, are encouraged to review the solicitation provision Electronic Submission of Proposals-Proposal Marking and Delivery through NASA's EFSS Box. Offerors are encouraged to check with their corporate IT staff to determine if there are firewall restrictions that would need to be addressed prior to the submission of proposal files through NASA's EFSS Box.
6. NASA has determined that this acquisition may give rise to a potential organizational conflict of interest (OCI). Offerors should refer to NFS clause 1852.209-71 Limitation of Future Contracting, for a description of the potential conflict(s) and any restrictions on future contracting.
7. A Secret level facilities clearance is required for this acquisition in accordance with the DD Form 254, Contract Security Classification Specification (See Attachment J-15, DD Form 254). The places of performance will be at KSC, CCSFS, and WFF.

Section C - Description/Specifications/Statement of Work
Requirements
C-301.4 BACKGROUND INVESTIGATIONS (FEB 2026)
To protect the welfare of the American people, all people who work for the United States government must be reliable, trustworthy, of good conduct and character, and of complete and unswerving loyalty to the United States. Federal employees and contractors must undergo a background investigation if they require logical and physical access for more than 179 days (in a 365-day period). The extent of the investigation will depend on the type of job and the degree of harm the person in that job could cause. Even if a job does not require a security clearance to access classified national security information, regulations require an investigation for a suitability /fitness determination.
For permanent credential requests, the identity requester will submit the request within IdMAX. IdMAX will be the authoritative system for position designations of contractors. NASA Office of Protective Services will contact the employee to complete the eAPP process. An investigation is initiated for all NASA workers, commensurate with the position risk and sensitivity. Prior favorable suitability, fitness, and national security determinations will be evaluated for reciprocity for that investigation tier and lower investigation tiers. The applicant is notified to set up a Badging Appointment.
The adjudicative process is a review of a sufficient period in an individual's background and a careful weighing of several variables to ensure that the individual does not pose an unacceptable security risk. This is known as the whole-person concept. All available, reliable information about the person, past and present, favorable and unfavorable, is considered in reaching an eligibility determination. Adjudications are made by certified credentialing adjudicators in accordance with suitability/fitness adjudication standards. It is imperative to be transparent and answer all questions completely and accurately, as inaccurate information may lead to an unfavorable adjudication.
SCOPE OF WORK
The Contractor shall provide all personnel, equipment, vehicles, and facilities (except as otherwise provided for in this contract) necessary to perform the services set forth in Attachment J-01, PWS.
DATA REQUIREMENTS LIST/DATA REQUIREMENTS DESCRIPTION
(a) The Contractor shall furnish all data identified and described in Appendix J-01-04, Data Requirements List (DRL), and all costs associated therewith are included in the price of Core Work CLINs.
(b) The Government reserves the right to delay the date of delivery of any or all DRDs specified in the DRL and such right may be exercised at no increase in the estimated cost. The Government also reserves the right to terminate the requirement for any or all DRDs specified in the DRL. In the event the Government exercises this latter right, the contract price or estimated cost shall be decreased in accordance with the Changes clause of the contract.
(c) To the extent that data required to be delivered under a DRD is also required to be delivered under another clause of the contract, the requirements established by both the DRD and such other contract clause shall apply.
In the event of a conflict between the data requirements of the DRD and another contract clause, the contract clause shall take precedence.
(d) Nothing contained in this clause relieves the Contractor from delivering data that is not identified in a DRD, but required under another clause or section of the contract.
(End of text)
POLICY DIRECTIVES, PROCEDURES, AND REQUIREMENTS
NASA maintains a set of Policy Directives (NPD) and Procedures and Requirements (NPR) and Standards that govern many aspects of activities at NASA. The contractor shall incorporate the most current provisions of applicable NPDs and NPRs and Standards into all organization and planning for the performance of this contract and shall comply with the most current provisions during the term of the contract.
