Vendor Response - Company Information Template.docx

This is a Vendor Response Template for a Request for Information (RFI) issued by the California Institute of Technology's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) under solicitation number JSL-2651-6232026 regarding Remote Data Concentrator (RDC) requirements for diverse mission applications. The template requires vendors to provide company information including name, address, point of contact details, CAGE/UEI number, and relevant socioeconomic classifications. Vendors must indicate their business size relative to NAICS code 336413 (Other Aircraft Part and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing) with a 1,250-employee size standard and identify whether they qualify as small businesses, disadvantaged businesses, women-owned businesses, veteran-owned businesses, service-disabled veteran-owned businesses, HUBZone certified entities, or HBCUs/MSIs.

The template also requires vendors to disclose any current or planned teaming arrangements for the project and identify teaming partners, with specific notation if the arrangement constitutes an SBA-approved joint venture. This RFI is issued by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) through JPL as a pre-solicitation to gather requirements information from spacecraft operators, mission planners, and system integrators regarding RDC architectures that must interface with legacy avionics interfaces (UART, MIL-STD-1553, I2C, CAN) and modern high-speed interfaces (USB 3.x, MIPI CSI-2) while meeting fault tolerance, latency, and jitter specifications. The information gathered may support a Small Business Set-Aside procurement and inform subsequent RFP development for RDC development or related services.
