About this file
This document contains responses to questions regarding solicitation number 80SSC023R0001 from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration Stennis Space Center for a gaseous nitrogen generation solution. The solicitation requires an on-site nitrogen generation system to produce ultra-high purity nitrogen gas. It clarifies that the contractor must perform all civil and concrete work for the installation. It also specifies continuous monitoring requirements for purity, water, hydrocarbons, oxygen, hydrogen, argon, carbon dioxide, and carbon monoxide from the system. The responses address questions on permitting, invoicing procedures, electrical power supply, sampling methods, and past performance reporting requirements.

Yes, per Attachment 1c, the offeror "shall return the Premises to its original condition" which includes the foundation No change
28 Attachment 1, SOO, Addenda to FAR 52.212-4, Section 6 What specifications need to be continuously monitored in addition to
H2O, O2, CO2?
The contractor should perform continuous monitoring of the following specifications: purity, water, hydrocarbons, O2, H2, Ar, CO2, and
CO
No change
29 Attachment 1, SOO, Addenda to FAR 52.212-4, Section 7 What invoicing system is NASA using? NASA uses the Invoice Processing Platform (IPP) for invoicing https://www nasa gov/centers/nssc/accounts-payable#ap-vendor-payment/ No change
30 Attachment 1, SOO, Addenda to FAR 52.212-4, Section 9
Would NASA consider supplying electrical power without charging the gas supplier? The reason being that we have to pay for it from post-tax dollars, which means that it cost us at least 15-20% to do so and we would then need to overcome that cost when we put in into the molecule price NASA would save money by paying the power company directly
Yes, NASA is changing the requirement to state NASA will pay for electricity; however, contractor shall be responsible for any backup generator needs necessary to ensure constant availability and reliability as needed See Attachment 9, Incorporated Changes from the draft Request for Proposal (DRFP)
See Attachment 9, Incorporated Changes from the draft Request for Proposal
(DRFP)
31 Attachment 1, SOO, Section VII, No.3. What voltage power can be supplied? NASA can provide up to 13 4 kV No change 32 Attachment 1, SOO, Section VII, No.4. Is there emergency power available? No, there is no emergency power available No change
33 Attachment 1a, Responsibility Matrix, Civil Work
From our meeting, it wasn't clear whether the concrete work is in our scope or
NASA's It stated our scope in the matrix I believe you tried to clarify that since you have to pull permits on your site, you would do all the civil work, including the concrete I just want to make sure we're all on the same page
No, NASA requires the contractor to perform all work selected in the Vendor column of the Responsibility Matrix The Vendor column in the
Responsibility Matrix clearly identifies concrete as well as other civil requirements Each vendor has specific requirements for size, layout, loading, grounding grid, and weight bearing for a slab
No change
34 Attachment 5, Section 7, Number 1) What is SF 1449 and where can we find that?
The SF 1449 is the Solicitation/Contract/Order for Commercial Products and Commercial Services, and it is the first page of the RFP No change
35 Attachment 5, Section 8.b.
We have NDAs in place for all of our customers We cannot submit any performance data, flow rates, customer names, etc How would we satisfy this requirement?
Past Performance is a required evaluation criteria for all Government contracts Contractors who fail to provide this informaiton or do not have this available will be given a rating of Neutral Per the RFP: Neutral: In the case of an offeror without a record of relevant past performance or for whom information on past performance is not available, the offeror may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance (see FAR 15 305(a) (2) (ii) and (iv))
No change
36 Attachment 8, Section 6.0 Methods of QA Surveillance
Regarding the meters that NASA will install to measure flow rate: are those considered the "billing meters"? Industry standard is that we supply meters with our installation that we use to bill We calibrate them annually and make sure that they are temperature and pressure compensated to display accurate flow rates
No, the Government-installed flow meters referenced in the QASP will be installed downstream of the interface to ensure contractor flow and pressure requirements are met as well as for Government project/program usage Flowmeter, pressure and temp sensors will be calibrated as per manufacturer specifications
Per Continuation Pages section 7, Deliverables, the contractor shall submit monthly flow reports using their installed meters which show the total monthly usage from the first day of the month to the last day of the month
No change
37 Attachment 8, Section 7.0 Frequency of Measurement
What type of sampling is referred to in this section? Sample bombs sent to a lab for analysis? Would this be on the gas supplier's expense? These would not be necessary when continuous monitoring of the requested impurities in the nitrogen is in place
Various sampling will be performed as per MIL-PRF-27401G paragraph 4 for both frequency and type Samples are processed by SSC's onsite laboratory at NASA's expense NASA uses this surveillance method to ensure product specifications
