About this file
This draft request for proposals (DRFP) and related sources sought notice provide details for the Glenn Engineering and Research Support (GEARS) acquisition at the National Aeronautics and Space Administration Glenn Research Center. The GEARS procurement combines two current contracts, Glenn Engineering and Scientific Support-3 and Advanced Research & Technology Support, and seeks engineering and research services across areas such as communications, power, materials and structures, systems engineering, and propulsion. The estimated potential value is $300 million over five to ten years. Responses to the sources sought notice are requested by June 1, 2016 to inform requirements, with the DRFP soliciting industry feedback on draft documents by September 27, 2016 prior to final release. The procurement is intended as a total small business set-aside but may become an 8(a) set-aside pending approval.

National Aeronautics and Space Administration John H. Glenn Research Center Lewis Field Cleveland, OH 44135-3191
September 14, 2016
TO: Prospective Offerors
FROM: NASA Glenn Research Center Institutional Services Branch / CHC
SUBJECT: DRAFT Request for Proposals (DRFP), NNC16ZL009R, GLENN ENGINEERING AND RESEARCH SUPPORT (GEARS)
Enclosed is the DRFP, including DRAFT SOW, for the subject procurement. Please note that all documents, including attachments, are draft documents and subject to change prior to release of the final RFP. The Government asks all interested parties review and provide comments. Comments on the DRFP will be considered by the Government for the final RFP. This is the DRAFT RFP; therefore the Government is soliciting feedback from industry. Specifically, information is requested in the following areas:
· Are page limits adequate?
· Are there any contract clauses or provisions that raise concern?
· Are there any requirements (either in the DRFP or SOW) that are unclear or overly constraining?
The Government recognizes two specific areas of concern that are not clearly addressed in the DRFP but we want potential offerors to be aware of:
1. Set-Aside determination. NASA GRC is requesting that the GEARS procurement be a Total Small Business Set-Aside but has not yet received concurrence from the Small Business Administration. If not approved, the GEARS procurement will be an 8(a) set-aside.
2. Period of Performance. NASA GRC is requesting that the GEARS procurement have a 7 or 10-year period of performance. The deviation has not yet been approved by NASA Headquarters.
Be advised that NASA GRC is hosting an Industry Day for the GEARS procurement on September 27, 2016 in the Administration Building of the NASA Glenn Research Center at Lewis Field. PRE-REGISTRATION IS REQUIRED. All information pertaining to the industry can be found at https://www.fbo.gov/index?tab=documents&tabmode=form&subtab=core&tabid=e6541951260509e0a2d23ec744183ac2.
Additionally, offerors will note there are sections of the DRFP that contain “TBD” fields. These “To Be Determined” or “TBD” fields will be completed prior to the final RFP and are included for informational purposes.
All Inquiries concerning this DRFP should be directed to the undersigned via email at aolmsted@grc.nasa.gov (please put Solicitation number NNC16ZL009R in the subject line of email).
Thank you for your interest in this requirement.
