5-16 5.15.3.2 c)2 • Relevant/pertinent size is defined as past performance having a similar number of WYEs performing at several geographically separated locations and having a contractual value similar to that of this solicitation.

• Relevant/pertinent scope is defined as administrative services. Providing past administrative services experience that includes administrative services for executive level personnel, travel coordination, and safeguarding of sensitive information will receive additional consideration.

• Relevant/pertinent complexity is defined as administrative services having a similar number of WYEs performing at multiple geographically separated locations having diverse cultures and missions, along with a continuous employee-training program. Providing experience that includes services at multiple geographic locations under a single contract and a continuous employee-training program will receive additional consideration.

The MCASS past performance size requirement change from a minimum value of $4M to "similar to this project" (i.e., $20M/year) significantly narrows the pool of eligible small businesses. We request NASA to reconsider reverting to the $4M minimum contract value requirement listed in the draft RFP, aligning with the $12.5M size standard.

After Consideration the Definitions in file “3_80SSC024R0001 MCASS Model Contract, Paragraph 5.15.3.2, Past Performance – Volume II, Paragraph c), 2. have been changed to address concerns.
