This is modification 1 to synopis number NNJ15532524R, entitled Calibration and Metrology Services (CAMS) III Contract, which was posted on July 16, 2015. You are notified that the following changes are made: the draft Request for Proposal (RFP) is posted.

This notice is issued by the NASA Lyndon B. Johnson Space Center (JSC) to post a draft RFP for the CAMS III Contract via the internet, and solicit responses from interested parties.

The principal purpose of CAMS III is to operate the existing Metrology Standards and Calibration Laboratory (MSCL) located in Building 343 at JSC. The MSCL provides calibration services by performing calibration operations on Measurement and Test Equipment (MTE). Most of the MTE is commercial off-the-shelf, such as torque wrenches, pressure transducers and voltmeters, and is used to measure physical, mechanical, and electrical properties. Currently, the MSCL is responsible for a total calibration inventory of approximately 44,000 items of MTE. Of these, up to approximately 14,000 items are scheduled to be calibrated annually. Some of the MTE are in-place items that cannot be removed and calibration must be performed on the equipment at its on-site location. The MSCL has ISO/IEC 17025:2005, ANSI/NCSLZ540-1-1994, and ANSI/NCSL Z540.3-2006 Accreditations, and a Quality Management System (QMS) that is compliant with ANSI/ISO/ASQ (E) Q9001-2008 and SAE AS9100C. To meet the requirements of CAMS III, the contractor shall maintain these accreditations and compliance with these standards.

The Government does not intend to acquire a commercial item using FAR Part 12.

This procurement is a total small business set-aside. The NAICS Code and Size Standard are 541380 and $15,000,000, respectively.
