4. AFSS II Pricing Information VWT Slides.pdf

These slides provide an overview of the pricing approach for NASA's Ames Research Center Facilities Support Services II (AFSS II) procurement. The contract will be a hybrid type with Firm Fixed Price (FFP) Phase-In and Cost-Plus Award Fee (CPAF) components, with an anticipated contract effective date of October 13, 2025. The pricing strategy includes a comprehensive evaluation process where the government will conduct a price analysis of the Total Evaluated Price (TEP), examining multiple Contract Line Item Numbers (CLINs) including Phase-In, Operations & Maintenance, Reactive Maintenance, Specialty Support Services, and both CPAF and FFP Task Orders.

Key pricing requirements include a detailed Cost/Price volume that must explain judgment-based elements, pricing techniques, and provide supporting documentation for labor rates and indirect rates. Major subcontractors providing $15,000,000 or more in contract value must submit the same level of pricing detail as the prime contractor. The government will perform a price analysis to ensure fair and reasonable pricing, and may reject proposals with unbalanced pricing that poses an unacceptable risk. Notably, this procurement is set aside exclusively for 8(a) certified small businesses, with a draft Request for Proposal (RFP) expected to be released in early 2025.
