Sample IDIQ Task Descriptions

The following three sample IDIQ task descriptions are provided for information only. Offerors shall not respond to these tasks in their proposals. NASA expects to issue similar task requests at the beginning of the Phase-In period of the new contract.

SOFIA IDIQ Task 1: 3rd-Gen Science Instrument Development

1.0 Introduction

The following task is separate from the core requirements. This task is Cost Plus Fixed Fee. The duration of this task is for approximately 3 years from Authority to Proceed (ATP), with the following third generation science instrument key milestones, PDR February 2017, CDR July

2017, arrival to Palmdale June 2018, first commissioning flight October 2018, SI acceptance and turnover to the contractor for operations June 2019, and acceptance of the data pipeline and turnover to contractor for operations August 2019. The task proposal, including costs, for this work shall be separate from all other contract work. All reporting of this task, including costs, shall be included in the WBS that this work is assigned to but shall be identified separately so that it can be tracked separately from all other work. If performance of this task will have any impact or increased risk on the performance of the core work or any other IDIQ task it must be identified in the proposal.
