Index Reference Question Answer

1 GENERAL Is it a single award for everything, or within the IDIQ section will there be multiple awards within that part of the solicitation?

In accordance with Section L, Acquisition Approach, paragraph (b), the Government intends to make one award to a small business as a result of this solicitation. This includes all Mission Services and

IDIQ requirements.

ATTACHMENT J-1, SECTION 4.0,

TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS,

AND SECTION 5.0, OTHER

DIRECTS COSTS; AND SECTION

I NFS CLAUSES 1852.216-80,

TASK ORDERING PROCEDURE

Under the IDIQ arrangement, will other Centers issue their own task plan requests and resulting task orders, or will that process be completely managed by MSFC personnel?

Will the other Centers IDIQ Task Orders have their own

Contract Line Identification Number (CLIN) or will those values be collected under a single MSFC CLIN?

It is anticipated that each Center will be able to initiate task orders with its Center-Specific requirements via the Government-provided

Automated Task Order Management System (ATOMS). See

Attachment J-1, Performance Work Statement, for personnel authorized to issue task orders under this contract. The contract will be managed by MSFC.

No, each Center will not have their own IDIQ CLIN. There is one

CLIN for Mission Services and two CLINs for IDIQ, one for PP&C

FFP task orders and one for Programmatic SME T&M task orders.

Refer to MSFC 52.216-92, Matrix Of Contract Line Items (CLINs), in the solicitation. All Center IDIQ task order values will be included within the applicable active IDIQ CLIN.

Mission Services FFP and IDIQ task orders?

Monthly invoice amounts for Mission Services and IDIQ task orders will be determined during the phase-in period as part of the post award conference.

6 SECTION H, MSFC 52.209-91,

ASSOCIATE CONTRACTOR

AGREEMENTS (ACA)

Will the initial Associate Contractor Agreements (ACAs) be required to be in place within the three-month phase-in period?

No. The initial ACAs will not be required during the phase-in purchase order. The initial ACAs will be required within the three months of the effective date of the contract. Refer to Section H, MSFC Clause 52.209-91, Associate Contractor Agreements (ACA), paragraph (d).

7 SECTION H, MSFC 52.209-91,

ASSOCIATE CONTRACTOR

AGREEMENTS (ACA)

The list of contracts requiring ACAs within three months of contract award include the incumbent contracts that are being recompeted as part of the CPSS suite of contracts (i.e., MIPSS TOs). These contracts will be complete three months following award of the CPSS PP&C contract. Please indicate if the contracts requiring ACAs should include the successor contracts (i.e., CPSS PC and CPSS CDM).

MSFC Clause 52.209-91, Associate Contractor Agreements (ACA), will be updated at a later date to reflect the appropriate contract awards for CPSS Project Coordination (PC) and Configuration and

Data Management (CDM).

8 SECTION H, MSFC 52.209-91,

ASSOCIATE CONTRACTOR

AGREEMENTS (ACA)

Given the potential for substantial IDIQ work at other

Centers, are ACAs anticipated to be required for contracts at other NASA Centers?

If additional ACAs will be needed as other Centers add IDIQ work to CPSS, they will be included during the administration of the contract.

9 SECTION H: SPECIAL

CONTRACT REQUIREMENTS

There are a few Center specific clauses provided in Section

H for a majority but not all of the Centers and/or component facilities.

Will the Government provide a complete and comprehensive list of applicable Center-specific clauses for performance of PP&C requirements at those locations in the

DRFP?

Not all NASA Centers have Center-specific clauses. The Center-specific clauses applicable to this contract are included within

Sections G and H of the solicitation.

PERFORMANCE WORK

STATEMENT, APPENDIX A,

CENTER-SPECIFIC MISSION

REQUIREMENTS, A.2 JSC

NASA/JSC released Draft RFP for Human Space Flight

Technical Integration Contract (HSFTIC) on August 16, 2019. This Draft RFP appears to include content currently contained within CPSS PP&C Mission Labor Requirements.

Given that this content is included in HSFTIC Draft RFP dated August 16, 2019, is it still the government’s intent to include this content in the Mission Labor Requirements for the CPSS PP&C solicitation?

JSC has been granted approval to retain PP&C activities (SOW

10.0 - Cost Estimating and Assessments) under the proposed

HSFTIC procurement for the first year of the contract’s base period. It is anticipated that SOW 10.0 content would transition from HSFTIC to Consolidated Program Support Services (CPSS) after the first performance year of HSFTIC (on or about 10/1/21).

The HSFTIC contract will be structured in a way to segregate these

PP&C activities from the other activities of the contract for the base period and up to, but no more than, 4 one-year option periods.

Refer to changes made to Attachment J-1, Performance Work

Statement, Appendix A, Center-Specific Mission Requirements, Section A.2 JSC Requirements, Attachment J-1A, Mission Labor

Requirements, and Attachment L-1, Excel Pricing Model (EPM).

12 ATTACHMENT J-3, LABOR

CATEGORY DESCRIPTIONS

At the top of the table the title is Mission Service CLINs

Only; Does the Government intend to use these Labor

Category Descriptions for all Mission Service CLINs and the IDIQ Task Order CLINs as well?

The PM labor category is the only labor category intended to be used for Mission Services only and not to be ordered under IDIQ.

Mission Services labor categories are identified in Attachment J-

1A. All PP&C labor categories may be used under the FFP PP&C

IDIQ CLINs. All Programmatic SME labor categories may be used under the T&M SME IDIQ CLINs.

13 ATTACHMENT J-3, LABOR

CATEGORY DESCRIPTIONS

Would the Government consider substituting experience worked in lieu of education requirements?

Would the Government consider substituting additional education for years of experience?

Are there any educational degree offsets for of years of experience requirements?

The labor category descriptions provided in Attachment J-3, Labor

Category Descriptions, delineate the desired education and experience levels, as well as the required responsibilities and skills for these positions. Specific task details will be provided within any task order request issued during or subsequent to the phase-in period in accordance with the task ordering clauses of the contact.

14 ATTACHMENT J-3, LABOR

CATEGORY DESCRIPTIONS

Attachment J-3 Labor category description does not indicate that all personnel must hold a TS clearance. However, the solicitation states that all personnel must have a TS clearance. Please clarify.

It is not intended that all personnel hold a top secret clearance. See

Attachment J-1, Performance Work Statement, Section 2.0 Scope, paragraph 3.

15 ATTACHMENT J-3, LABOR

CATEGORY DESCRIPTIONS

Given that the contract is at the Top Secret clearance level, can the Government please specify how many positions require clearances.

As identified in Attachment L-2, Projected Task Order

Requirements, the current requirements only include three positions with a top secret PCL.

16 ATTACHMENT J-4, INDEFINITE-

DELIVERY, INDEFINITE-

QUANTITY RATES

Is it the government’s intention to ask the contractor for additional FBLR based on new locations as they are identified?

The Government does not intend to add FBLRs for alternate locations at this time. Alternate locations may be added at CO discretion, if needed based upon future requirements.

17 SECTION L Will the Government consider a different numbering approach throughout Section L for each of the Volume submittals?

See Section L, Volume I- Mission Suitability Factor Instructions, paragraph (d). As an example, the Offeror's description of its proposed organizational structure might be labeled Volume I, MA-

1 (1).

18 SECTION L, VOLUME IV –

CONTRACT VOLUME

INSTRUCTIONS

The Draft OCI plan and List of all current NASA contracts and subcontracts reference the Note: Requested 2 weeks prior to required due date of proposal; however, delivery is not required until the proposal due date. Page L-8

Volume IV – Contract Volume, which these documents are a part of, is not required until the due date of December 9, 2019.

If the offeror submits these 2 documents in advance of the complete Volume IV submittal should they be resubmitted to make a complete Volume IV? Should a reference be included in the complete Volume IV that states the documents were previously submitted, or are there other instructions the offeror should follow?

Offerors are only required to re-submit the information if changes are made to the initial submission; otherwise, indicate that the information was previously submitted.

19 SECTION B, MSFC 52.216-91,

SUPPLIES AND/OR SERVICES TO

BE PROVIDED AND TYPE OF

CONTRACT, PARAGRAPH (H)

SECTION M, SECURITY

CLASSIFICATION

Does this mean that ALL subs must have a TS FCL as well? No. A subcontractor will be required to hold a Top Secret FCL if expected to perform the work under the SME task order identified in Attachment L-2, Projected Task Order Requirements.

20 SECTION L, p. L-12 Does the government intend to release a list of contracts that it considers in conflict with this effort?

No such contracts have been identified.

21 SECTION L, 1852.215-81,

PROPOSAL PAGE LIMITATIONS

We respectfully request that the Government exclude the cover page, table of contents, compliance matrix, list of figures, acronym list, list of exhibits, and other front matter intended to explain the organization of the volume (with no evaluated content) from the page limitation of Volumes I and III?

Considering the page limitations, would the Government consider changing the font size standard of charts, tables, figures, and pictures to 10-point?

We request the Government modify this requirement to 10pt as making graphics and tables with type that large is challenging and would result in considerably large graphics and wasted space between sections where a graphic that large wouldn't fit on the remaining page before or after narrative.

In accordance with NFS 1852.215-81, Proposal Page Limitations, paragraph (c), there are no exclusions to the established page limitations with the exception of the documents specified therein.

There are no exceptions to font size as specified in NFS 1852.215-

81, Proposal Page Limitations. In accordance with paragraph (b)

(6) (F) of 1852.215-81, font shall not be smaller than 12 point font to include text, charts, tables, figures, pictures, and other objects.

Landscape format may be utilized to accommodate this restriction considering the limitations described in paragraph (b) (6) (C).

22 SECTION L, 1852.215-81,

PROPOSAL PAGE LIMITATIONS

Paragraph (c) states that there are “No” exceptions to the 12-point font size rule for graphics and pictures. Does this also extend to headers and footers? These do not contain proposal content but do affect margins. We would like to use company logos as well. We respectfully ask the

Government to please reconsider making an exception for these.

In accordance with paragraph (b) (4) of 1852.215-81, each volume page shall identify the Offeror’s name, solicitiation number, and date. In place of the company name, the offeror’s company logo may be inserted in a format other than Times New Roman 12-point font within the header/footer only if the logo does not impact the margin restrictions cited in paragraph (b) of 1852.215-81.

23 SECTION L, NFS 1852.215-81

PROPOSAL PAGE LIMITATIONS

Would the Government consider requiring the submission in

Word 2016 rather than 2010 or higher?

As an alternative, would the Government accept Adobe PDF format?

1852.215-81, Proposal Page Limitations, has been revised.

Supplemental documentation provided as part of the non-page limited Cost/Price volume (e.g., financial statements, indirect rate letters, audit reports, letters of credit, disclosure statements, pre-award accounting system SF 1408s) may be provided in their native format (e.g., Adobe, .pdf).

24 SECTION L, MSFC 52.215-91, DUE

DATE FOR RECEIPT OF

PROPOSALS OR QUOTATIONS

Can the Government confirm that the “early delivery” mechanism is analogous to the rest of the proposal, e.g., 2 copies on labeled USB drives, in marked envelope per

MSFC 52.215-92, etc.?

Yes. Submit two identical copies on the Universal Serial Bus

(USB) drives labeled “Original” and Copy”.

25 ATTACHMENT L-5, PERSONNEL

AND FRINGE BENEFIT FORMS

Please explain the headers in the Fringe table, specifically the term ‘Range’. We understand this data to represent the dollar value of each Fringe contribution element; however, we do not understand what the Government is looking for given the term ‘Range’.

Is this data to reflect min and max for all of the positions to be staffed within a lab cat?

Yes. The values to be provided reflect dollar ranges for each labor category, for each location, included within Attachment J-3, Labor

Category Descriptions.

26 ATTACHMENT L-2, PROJECTED

TASK ORDER REQUIREMENTS

Please clarify the intent of L-2. If it is to be used for the purpose of awarding task orders, can the Government provide a timeline for award of these potential tasks for the purpose of more accurately pricing the scope of work.

Can the Government also provide additional technical and task requirement details for those tasks so that bidders can more accurately provide a bid rate for those labor categories across the geographic Centers? In total, the staffing within this attachment adds up to a significant WYE labor base requiring corresponding labor rates.

Will the final version have more specific IDIQ work pre-loaded - similar to Attachment L-2? (which presently only has AFRC, ARC and GRC - will IDIQ work be added for other Centers?)

Attachment L-2, Projected Task Order Requirements, is provided to indicate the potential, though not mandatory, magnitude of task order effort which may be initiated and awarded during the phase-in period with an effective date of the contract start date (i.e.

03/15/2021).

27 ATTACHMENT L-1, EXCEL

PRICING MODEL (EPM)

ATTACHMENT J-4

Is it a requirement for the Fully Burdened Labor Rates

(FBLR) provided for IDIQ work in Attachment L-1 to match the IDIQ rates proposed in Attachment J-4?

Yes. In accordance with Section L, Volume II - Price Factor

Instructions, paragraph (b), offerors shall utilize the values from the

EPM tool to populate the contract volume fill-ins to include

Attachment J-4, Indefinite-Delivery, Indefinite-Quantity (IDIQ)

Rates.

28 ATTACHMENT L-5, PERSONNEL

AND FRINGE BENEFIT FORMS

Is there a requirement for offerors to show the build-up of rates from the direct labor rates proposed in Attachment L-5 through all applicable burdens to the Fully Burdened Labor

Rates in Attachment L-1 and proposed in Attachment J-4?

The build-up of fully burdened labor rates is not required.

29 ATTACHMENT L-1, EXCEL

PRICING MODEL (EPM)

ATTACHMENT L-2, PROJECTED

TASK ORDER REQUIREMENTS

We recommend that the Government provide two separate categories within the pricing sheet that identifies positions with and without clearances. Alternatively, will the

Government consider a defined cost differential for LCATs with and without clearances.

There are no price differentials for personnel clearances.

30 ATTACHMENT L-1, EXCEL

PRICING MODEL (EPM)

Please confirm what EPM Tabs are to be completed by major subcontractors.

Offerors shall complete all Tabs in their EPM. Subcontractors with a Mission Services value exceeding $15M over the life of the contract shall complete only the A and B Tabs of their EPM in accordance with Volume II – Price Factor Instructions, Section 3.

31 ATTACHMENT L-1, EXCEL

PRICING MODEL (EPM)

The Government has pre-populated WYEs in Tabs B-1 JSC and Tab B-2 MSFC, which match Attachment J-1A with the exception of minor variances as noted in Question 3.

Therefore, the pre-populated WYEs appear to represent total team mission requirements.

If prime and major subcontractors are to complete Tabs B-1 and B-2, then please clarify if the prime and subcontractors shall modify the number of WYEs to reflect the number of

WYEs allocated to the prime and subcontractor respectively?

The purpose of Tab A-2 is to account for subcontractor allocation of WYEs and associated price. When utilized correctly, the Tab will allow for the accounting of all WYEs as required by

Attachment J-1A, Mission Labor Requirements.

32 ATTACHMENT L-1, EXCEL

PRICING MODEL (EPM)

How should WYEs assigned to subcontractors in support of

MSFC and JSC mission requirements be accounted for within EPM that do not meet the threshold for major subcontractor?

WYEs for subcontractors not required to submit price volumes are accounted for within the Offeror's WYEs as reflected within the B

Tabs.

33 SECTION L, VOLUME III - PAST

PERFORMANCE FACTOR

INSTRUCTIONS

Will the Government consider increasing the period of performance applicability to within 5 years?

The use of a three-year period is consistent with NFS 1815.304-

70(d)(2)(i).

34 SECTION L, VOLUME III - PAST

PERFORMANCE FACTOR

INSTRUCTIONS

Section L Volume III Past Performance Instruction States

“Performance of referenced contracts shall be limited to that which occurred within three years of the due date for receipt of proposals. Additionally, each referenced contract shall have a minimum performance of six months within the three-year period. Performance of any effort outside the three-year period will not be evaluated.” Does this mean that within the past 3 years, at least 6 months of performance must have been completed? For example, a contract that ended on November 2, 2016 (which is within 3 years of

October 24, 2019) would not be eligible because 6 months of work was not performed during this 3-year period?

For an eligible effort, will the years of the contract or task order outside the three-year period be evaluated? For example, will the Government evaluate the first two years of an on-going contract that began five years ago? Or only the last three years?

In accordance with Volume III – Past Performance Factor

Instructions, paragraph (b), only that portion of a relevant referenced contract or subcontract which falls within the established three-year window will be considered. The annualized size value of the referenced contract or subcontract will likewise be established.

35 SECTION L, VOLUME III - PAST

PERFORMANCE FACTOR

INSTRUCTIONS

Will the Government reduce the number of past performance records required of the prime offeror from two to one?

In accordance with Volume III - Past Performance Factor

Instructions, paragraph (b), two of the requested references

"should" be for the offeror.

36 SECTION L, VOLUME III - PAST

PERFORMANCE FACTOR

INSTRUCTIONS

For Joint Ventures, the evaluation requirement specifies, “two past performances from the managing partner.” Given that this is a small business procurement, will the

Government consider decreasing that requirement to 1 past performance from the Managing Partner?

The provision of two past performance references for the Joint

Venture managing partner is requested though not mandatory.

37 SECTION L, VOLUME III - PAST

PERFORMANCE FACTOR

INSTRUCTIONS

Can the Government clarify that the criteria for major subcontractor in the Past Performance volume is 15% or more of FFP Mission Services contract value while the requirements for a full subcontractor cost volume are based on a subcontract value exceeding $15M over the life of the contract.

It is possible that a subcontractor might meet one definition but not the other?

The thresholds for submission of subcontractor price volumes and past performance references are mutually exclusive.

38 SECTION L, VOLUME III - PAST

PERFORMANCE FACTOR

INSTRUCTIONS

Please clarify the intent of the PWS WYE Assignment

Matrix.

The purpose of this table is to allow the Government to assess the relevancy of referenced contracts or subcontracts relative to the assignment of work.

39 SECTION L, VOLUME III - PAST

PERFORMANCE FACTOR

INSTRUCTIONS

Please clarify the intent of the Past Performance Contract

Summary Table.

The purpose of this table is to allow the Government to assess the magnitude of the work performed for each PWS area described for each referenced contract or subcontract.

40 SECTION M, VOLUME II - PRICE

FACTOR EVALUATION

Will the Government consider adding language to Section

M stating that the Government reserves the right to perform a price realism assessment on both the Mission Services and

IDIQ calculated price and to remove any Offeror’s proposal that is unrealistically low?

In accordance with Section M, Price Factor Evaluation, paragraph

(a), the Government will perform price analysis in accordance with

FAR 15.404-1.

41 SECTION M, VOLUME III – PAST

PERFORMANCE FACTOR

EVALUATION

Can the Government clarify if the intent here was to limit

Volume III evaluation to “major” subcontractors as defined?

Alternatively, per (b) [“NASA reserves the right...”], can the

Government provide evaluation criteria or otherwise explain how non-major subcontractor past performance is to be reported by the Offeror, other than through the list of contracts and subcontracts and/or the Draft OCI Plan?

Past performance references are limited to no more than five referenced contracts or subcontracts for the Offeror’s team, to include subcontractors. Referenced contracts or subcontracts provided for other subcontractors other than major, may be considered at the discretion of the Government. If considered, the reference contracts or subcontracts will be assessed using the same criteria used for the assessment of other contracts/subcontracts (i.e., size, content, complexity).

42 PURCHASE ORDER:

ATTACHMENT J-1,

PERFORMANCE WORK

STATEMENT

Referencing the Purchase Order PWS "Government furnished facilities may be available on a limited basis during the phase-in period in Bldg. TBD." Please clarify how offerors should understand this statement with respect to the term “limited basis”. Also clarify the degree of certainty that should be attached to the expression “may be available”.

Based on Government availability of facilities during the time of phase-in, a limited amount of space (e.g., office, conference room) may be available. Such availability cannot be determined at this time; however, further refinement will be assessed in phase-in.

43 GOVERNMENT-PROVIDED TASK

ORDER MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

Does the Government intend to provide any additional information on the Government-provided Task Order

Management System?

See attached “ATOMS Guide 10-2-19” to this posting on FBO.gov.
