National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA)

Request for Information (RFI) Enterprise Grounds Maintenance, Custodial, and Pest Control Services

I. Overview:

NASA is seeking potential sources who can provide Grounds Maintenance, Custodial, and/or Pest Control services for the following Centers and Field Activities:

Center Location Ames Research Center (ARC) Moffett Field, CA

Armstrong Flight Research Center (AFRC) Edwards, CA Glenn Research Center (GRC) Cleveland, OH

Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC) Greenbelt, MD Headquarters (HQ) Washington, D.C.

Johnson Space Center (JSC) Houston, TX Kennedy Space Center (KSC) Cape Canaveral, FL

Langley Research Center (LaRC) Hampton, VA Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC) Huntsville, AL

Stennis Space Center (SSC) Hancock County, MS

Field Activity Location Ellington Field Houston, TX

Independent Verification and Validation Facility (IV&V)

Fairmont, WV

Wallops Flight Facility (WFF) Wallops Island, VA White Sands Test Facility (WSTF) Las Cruces, NM

Michoud Assembly Facility (MAF) New Orleans, LA Neil Armstrong Test Facility (ATF) Sandusky, OH

** Ellington Field and WSTF are a subset of JSC. IV&V and WFF are a subset of GSFC. MAF is a subset of MSFC, and ATF is a subset of GRC. Other NASA facilities may be included within the states provided.

Required services may include long-term day-to-day support that are recurring in nature or one-time special projects. In addition, services may be required at multiple locations simultaneously.

The purpose of this RFI is to gather market research that will ultimately help NASA determine the most reasonable procurement strategy for this requirement. NASA is requesting capability statements from all interested parties, including all socioeconomic categories of small businesses.

NASA is contemplating awarding one or more Multiple Award Blanket Purchase Agreement(s) (BPAs) or Multiple Award Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) vehicles. The anticipated North American Classification System (NAICS) codes are as follows:

NAICS Description Size Standard (in millions)

561730 Landscaping Services $9.5

561210 Facilities Support Services $47.012

II. Enterprise Vision:

NASA’s existing model of managing Grounds Maintenance, Custodial, and Pest Control Services through individual contracts at each center has supported localized control and operational flexibility; however, pursuing a streamlined, centralized contracting mechanism will increase efficiency and the ability to consistently meet mission needs.

The objective is to establish one or more overarching enterprise contract vehicles that will include a pool of awarded vendors who are eligible to compete for orders related to Grounds Maintenance, Custodial, and/or Pest Control services. Each order will be tailored to each NASA center’s specific requirements. The intent is to:

1. Streamline the Procurement Process Most of the procurement effort will be performed at the enterprise vehicle level, which reduces administrative actions and streamlines pre-award activities.

2. Create Consistency The enterprise contract vehicle(s) will standardize elements such as contract line-item numbers (CLINS), Data Requirement Deliverables (DRDs), and PWS language – making it easier for NASA to manage requirements, expenditures, and performance consistently.

3. Improve Strategic Visibility The enterprise vehicle approach will enhance visibility across operations, enterprise-level spending, and resource utilization, providing valuable insights that will drive more informed decision-making.

4. Improve Scaling and Innovation Innovative approaches, technologies, and process improvements may be limited to a single center or contract. The enterprise vehicle(s) will create a pathway to scale successful solutions across multiple centers, while still enabling local flexibility through individual orders.

III. Market Research Objectives:

The responses from this RFI will guide our acquisition strategy and help us determine:

1. If it is practicable and efficient to combine Grounds Maintenance, Custodial, and Pest Control services into one enterprise vehicle or create an enterprise vehicle for each service.

2. The structure and scope of the enterprise vehicle(s).

3. The number of small and large businesses capable of providing the services in each state.

IV. Scope of Work:

Please see “Attachment 1 - Draft Performance Work Statement (PWS)” for a full list of services.
