QUESTIONS AND RESPONSES

# Reference Question Response

DD Form 254 We understand the contract must have a Secret Facility Clearance.

Can NASA clarify if the awarded contractor must have the Secret

Facility Clearance prior to the Award or can the contractor obtain the Secret Facility Clearance after award? Will NASA at the site sponsor the awarded contractor?

Contract award may be made prior to the issuance of

Facility Clearance Level (FCL). In cases where the

Contractor does not have the FCL prior to award, the contractor will be processed for an FCL at the appropriate level and must meet eligibility requirements for access to classified information. However, the contractor will not be afforded access to classified information until the FCL has been granted. The

Government may act as sponsor.

Is it prohibited to subcontract to a large business on this solicitation? If not, how does the government evaluate the fact that less than 51% of the manning will reside with the large business but more than 51% of the dollar value (due to the $20M of logistics purchasing) will reside with the large business?

It is not prohibited to subcontract to a large business.
