About this file
This document is a Questions and Answers (Q&A) log for Request for Quote (RFQ) 80SSC25Q0004 related to a natural gas supply contract for NASA's Stennis Space Center. The Q&A addresses pricing, volume, and contract structure clarifications, with NASA providing responses to five industry questions. Key details include confirmation that transport fees and fuel charges will be separately depicted on monthly invoices, with pricing based on the Henry Hub index plus a fixed coefficient of $0.3175. NASA has provided a historical consumption chart to help potential vendors understand volume expectations and maintained the existing pricing structure despite vendor concerns about market volatility and pipeline trading conditions.
The federal contract opportunity involves delivering uninterruptible natural gas to NASA's John C. Stennis Space Center in Mississippi, with delivery points specified as the North Fee Area Boundary (Station Location Number 2568) and an additional location to be determined later. The solicitation is being managed by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration Shared Services Center, with Amendment 1 adding two attachments: responses to industry questions and a historical consumption spreadsheet to support vendor understanding of the contract requirements.

| QUESTION AND ANSWER (Q&A) LOG (Solicitation Questions and Answers) | ||||
| Question No. | Reference | Question / Comment | Response | Changes |
| 1 | Pricing Clarification | Is the transport fee and fuel on Gulf South depicted on the invoice as a separate line item on the monthly invoice? | Yes, the transport fee is broken out on the invoice each month. There is a fuel charge and a contract commodity. These fees added together are referred to as the “transport rate”. Once natural gas has reached SSC, the new price of gas includes these fees. Henry Hub index/Published price of fuel + Fixed Coefficient ($0.3175) = Avg. Price; Avg. Price x Volume/How much gas we used for the month (MMBTU) = Total Sale/ Subtotal; Subtotal + Transport fees ( Fuel Charge + Contract Commodity) = Total Amount due for the month . | |
| 2 | Volume Clarification | Is there a set volume to be priced at the first of the month Henry Hub index | Please see attached Historical Consumption Chart. The Henry Hub Index pricing needs to be used. | |
| 3 | Pricing Clarification | Is there a separate price for overtake and undertake for the month? | NASA has reviewed your question; however, no changes have been made. NASA will be invoiced for usage. A Historical Consumption Chart is provided. | |
| 4 | Pricing Clarification | The previous supplied gas contract for Stennis the pricing was structured with a baseload volume that was priced at the beginning of the month index plus adjustment. Volumes outside the baseload was either bought back at the Gulf South cash out price or sold at the cashout price plus adjustment. FIrms can not bid full requirements 100% swing. There is so much volatility on this pipeline now with the large demand on the pipeline. Everything is trading at historical highs. | NASA has reviewed your concerns, and the pricing structure remains unchanged. Please review the 5-year "Southside Natural Gas Historical Consumption" spreadsheet as provided. | |
