About this opportunity
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration Marshall Space Flight Center is seeking proposals to implement and support an agency-wide electronic, web-based Technical Standards Platform to provide seamless access to technical standards and related information for NASA and onsite contractors via the NASA Technical Standards System. The platform must provide full-text electronic delivery of standards from selected standards developing organizations, pay-per-document ordering, notices of standard changes, and NASA documents, metadata, lessons learned, application notes, and statuses. It must support 8,000 to 12,000 active users across 15 NASA facilities with sufficient bandwidth for minimum latency downloads. A solicitation is expected to be released within 30 days as a request for proposals using FAR Part 12 for commercial items and FAR Part 15 for negotiations, with proposals due in mid-April 2020.
There is no set-aside designation. The platform services fall under NAICS 541511 - Custom Computer Programming Services and PSC D302 - IT and Telecom- Systems Development. The contract is anticipated to be a firm-fixed price award for a one-year base period and three one-year options, valued at an estimated $5-10 million total over the four-year period. The platform must be operational within one month of award and support the full user base throughout the performance period.

This posting attaches the Solicitation #80MSFC20R0007 to this pre-solicitation posting.
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has a requirement for a Technical Standards
Platform (also referred to as “the Platform”) for the NASA Technical Standards System (NTSS).
The Statement of Work is for the implementation and support of an Agency-wide electronic, Web-based
Technical Standards Platform for accessing technical standards and related information seamlessly via NTSS.
The objective of the Platform is to provide Agency-wide users, including onsite contractors, with effective
access to technical standards and the standards’ metadata from various Standards Developing Organizations
(SDOs), consisting of:
• Full-Text Electronic Subscription Delivery of Standards from Selected SDOs.
• Pay-per-Document Ordering of Standards from Selected SDOs.
• Notices when Selected Technical Standards Change.
• NASA-Provided Documents and Metadata.
• NASA-Provided Lessons Learned and Application Notes.
• NASA-Provided Statuses.
Metrics Dashboard, with the capability to allow NTSS staff to access content real time.
The Technical Standards Platform requires a user base of 8,000 to 12,000 active users. It is critical that the
Contractor’s Platform can support the necessary bandwidth required to access/download standards with
minimum latency. This is critical because NASA programs and projects rely on technical standards and
specifications, lessons learned, application notes, and other information accessible in the system to evaluate,
select, and use in space flight activities. Technical standards are also used by safety and mission assurance,
information technology, and health and medical personnel and must be accurate and accessible for use.
A solicitation will be issued as a Request for Proposals using procedures outlined in FAR Part 12, Acquisition
of Commercial Items, in conjunction with FAR Part 15, Contracting by Negotiation. It is anticipated that this
requirement will be awarded as a firm fixed price contract. The period of performance is a one-year base and
three one-year options.
All responsible sources may submit an offer which shall be considered by the Agency. However, any award
from this RFP will require the potential vendor to be certified within the System For Awards Management
(SAM) Database prior to award.
It is the offeror’s responsibility to monitor the new contract opportunities website, formally FBO.gov, at
https://beta.sam.gov, for the future issuance of the solicitation and all associated documents. Potential offerors
will be responsible for downloading their own copy of this synopsis and amendments (if any). Marshall Space
Flight Center intents to release the solicitation within 30 days of this pre-solicitation posting.
