Landsat Next Insturment Studies - RFP - 80GSFC21R0026.pdf

TO: All Prospective Offerors

SUBJECT: Request for Proposal (RFP), Solicitation No. 80GSFC21R0026 Landsat Next Instrument Studies

You are invited to submit a proposal in response to the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC) Landsat Next Instrument Studies solicitation. The principal purpose of this requirement is to develop and assess instrument concepts that could support the Landsat Next mission. The intent of these studies is to better inform the Government as to the viability and risks associated with current instrument requirements and mission objectives.

NASA will conduct this acquisition as a Full and Open Competition. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this acquisition is 541715 and the small business size standard is 1000 employees.

This competitive acquisition will result in a Firm Fixed Price type contract. The contract will have a total potential period of performance of six (6) months. The Government contemplates award of multiple firm fixed price type contracts. The not to exceed (NTE) amount for each contract is $500K.

Each offeror may submit no more than two (2) proposals. Each proposal must present a unique solution or methodology. Each proposal must contain all of the required components and all volumes as listed in the solicitation to be considered for award.

The anticipated contract award date is June 1, 2021, with a June 15, 2021 contract effective date. The contract will be performed

Potential offerors should pay close attention to all solicitation instructions; however, the following requirements list is summarized to assist in proposal development. Please note that this list is not exhaustive, and the solicitation terms and conditions and provisions in sections L and M take precedence:

1. The instrument concepts being studied can be for either a single satellite solution or for a constellation satellite approach.

2.

Next VSWIR+TIR spectral bands, or coverage of only a subset of Landsat Next spectral ther full-swath (applying to a large single satellite architecture), or narrow-swath (applying to a constellation architecture) coverage.

3. Offerors may submit more than one proposal if it decides to explore more than one concept outlined above. However, no more than two proposals shall be submitted by any offeror.

Offerors cannot submit more than one proposal for the same concept. For example, offerors can submit a proposal to study an instrument concept for a single satellite approach measuring the complete set or a subset of spectral bands and an instrument concept for a constellation approach measuring the complete set or a subset of spectral bands. Conversely, offerors can submit proposals to study an instrument concept for measuring a subset of spectral bands and an instrument concept for measuring the remaining subset of spectral bands for either of the single satellite or constellation approaches. If offerors submit more than one proposal for the same concept, the proposal that was received via Large File Transfer (LFT) first by the Government will be evaluated and the other proposal will not be evaluated or considered for award. In its proposal offerors shall clearly notate which concept it is proposing on and the Government will evaluate each offerors proposal(s) against the range of wavelengths and the mission architecture for which the Offeror is proposing.

4. The Government intends to award to multiple responsible Offerors whose proposed instrument solutions, in totality, cover the entirety of the of required Landsat Next VSWIR+TIR spectral bands for both mission architecture types. Covering all bands and architecture types through multiple awards represents one facet of the best value tradeoff to the Government. This may result in lower rated proposals being selected if they provide unique or specialized solutions or designs. This can include multiple contracts for any combination of VSWIR+TIR spectral bands and mission architecture types (i.e. constellation and single satellite or full-swath and narrow-swath).

5. Offerors are encouraged to refer to Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) provision 52.215-

1, INSTRUCTIONS TO OFFERORS COMPETITIVE ACQUISITION, in particular discussions.

In order to control and protect sensitive data owned by the Government and its Contractors, NASA policy required all acquisition-related documents be released in Adobe Portable Document Format (PDF). While the Price Volume exhibits are in PDF format, Price Volume proposal shall include completed Price Volume exhibits in Microsoft Office Excel format with working cell formulas.

Potential Offerors are requested to periodically monitor the websites for updates.

NASA FAR Supplement (NFS) clause 1852.215-84, OMBUDSMAN, is applicable. The Center Ombudsman for this acquisition can be found at http://prod.nais.nasa.gov/pub/pub_library/Omb.html.

This RFP does not commit NASA Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC) to pay any proposal preparation costs, nor does it obligate NASA GSFC to procure or contract for these services. This request is not an authorization to proceed and does not authorize payment for any charges incurred by the offeror for performing any of the work called for in this solicitation.

Termination for Convenience of the Government clause of this contract, the total amount payable by the Government (including amounts payable for subcontracts and settlement costs) pursuant to paragraphs (f) and (g) of that clause would, in the exercise of reasonable judgment by the Contractor, approximate the total amount at the time allotted to the contract.

The Contractor is not obligated to continue performance of the work beyond that point. The

Government is not obligated in any event to pay or reimburse the Contractor more than the amount from time to time allotted to the contract, anything to the contrary in the Termination for Convenience of the Government clause notwithstanding.

(2) If funds allotted are considered by the Contractor to be inadequate to cover the work to be performed until that date, or an agreed date substituted for it, the Contractor shall notify the

Contracting Officer in writing when within the next 60 days the work will reach a point at which, if the contract is terminated pursuant to the Termination for Convenience of the

Government clause of this contract, the total amount payable by the Government (including amounts payable for subcontracts and settlement costs) pursuant to paragraphs (f) and (g) of that clause will approximate 75 percent of the total amount then allotted to the contract.

(e) If, solely by reason of the Government's failure to allot additional funds in amounts sufficient for the timely performance of this contract, the Contractor incurs additional costs or is delayed in the performance of the work under this contract, and if additional funds are allotted, an equitable adjustment shall be made in the price or prices (including appropriate target, billing, and ceiling prices where applicable) of the items to be delivered, or in the time of delivery, or both.

(f) The Government may at any time before termination, and, with the consent of the Contractor, after notice of termination, allot additional funds for this contract.

Federal contract information means information, not intended for public release, that is provided by or generated for the Government under a contract to develop or deliver a product or service to the Government, but not including information provided by the Government to the public (such as on public Web sites) or simple transactional information, such as necessary to process payments.

(xi) Implement subnetworks for publicly accessible system components that are physically or logically separated from internal networks.

(xii) Identify, report, and correct information and information system flaws in a timely manner.

(xiii) Provide protection from malicious code at appropriate locations within organizational information systems.

(xiv) Update malicious code protection mechanisms when new releases are available.

(xv) Perform periodic scans of the information system and real-time scans of files from external sources as files are downloaded, opened, or executed.

(2) Other requirements. This clause does not relieve the Contractor of any other specific safeguarding requirements specified by Federal agencies and departments relating to covered contractor information systems generally or other

Federal safeguarding requirements for controlled unclassified information (CUI) as established by Executive Order 13556.

(c) Subcontracts. The Contractor shall include the substance of this clause, including this paragraph (c), in subcontracts under this contract (including subcontracts for the acquisition of commercial items, other than commercially available off-the-shelf items), in which the subcontractor may have Federal contract information residing in or transiting through its information system.
