TASK STATEMENT OF REQUIREMENTS (SOR)

Task Number: NACS-B Date: January 1, 2017

Task Title: NACS Operations

Period of Performance: March 1, 2018 through February 28, 2019

Description of Work

To operate and maintain the operational environments for both the HECC at Ames Research

Center (ARC) and NCCS at Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC), the contractor shall operate as the procurement agent for both new functionality and operational costs. This task supports both the NAS and the NCCS in procuring essential hardware, software, maintenance, and support services to enable scientific discover and engineering excellence throughout the Agency.

The contractor team will support the task of procuring systems on behalf of the Government in a timely and cost effective manner through the use of well-defined processes and the utilization of existing procurement resources and tools. The contractor will work closely with the Government to develop requirements, solicit quotes or proposals, evaluate the proposals, negotiate terms, conditions, and costs with vendors. In responding to this task, the contractor shall describe how their processes provide a better value to the Government on procurements when compared against using existing Government Wide Acquisitions Contracts (GWAC), such as SEWP V.

The contractor shall provide an adequate basis of estimate and full estimated cost to complete all procurements for the contract year based on the budget provided below. Costs must be provided with sufficient detail to delineate between NAS and NCCS, as well as large purchases over

$1,000,000 and purchases under $1,000,000.

The following table provides the procurement task budget for both new technology enhancements and operational costs to the NAS and NCCS environments for this contract year.

Item NAS NCCS Total Budget

Compute Expansion $24,000,000 $6,000,000 $30,0000,000

Storage Expansion $6,000,000 $1,000,000 $7,000,000

Infrastructure, Facilities, Hardware and

Software Maintenance $10,000,000 $3,000,000 $13,000,000

Total $40,000,000 $10,000,000 $50,000,0000

The typical compute and storage expansion for both NAS and NCCS are single large purchases each year to a single vendor, which may or may not be the same vendor used for both compute and storage. For operations and maintenance each center makes numerous purchases throughout the year. At the beginning of each fiscal year, a budget is developed at each center delineating the planned procurements. The expenditures must fit into the respective budgets and will be coordinated with the contractor team.

Per year, both HECC and the NCCS will make approximately 60 or 70 individual purchases each, ranging from very small purchases of cables that might cost $10’s to $100’s to larger purchases of that may be up to $1M. Typically, there will be more than 1 and less than 6 procurements that exceed $1,000,000 each contract year at each site. Other purchases each year include, but are not limited to, the following types of items:

Servers, workstations, disks

Software licenses

Support and maintenance contracts

Networking equipment, switches, cables, etc.

Tape drives, media

Books, supplies

Other assumptions for this task order include the following:

All procurements will require approvals prior to the issuance of a purchase order. The approval chains may be unique to both NAS and NCCS and may include the COR and

CO.

No significant risks are associated with this task.
