All contractual and technical questions must be submitted electronically to Anna M. Foreman at Anna.m.foreman@nasa.gov no later than August 18th, 2025, at Noon PT, with telephone questions not being accepted.

This procurement is designated as a Competitive 8(a) set-aside, restricting participation to certified small disadvantaged businesses under the Small Business Administration's 8(a) Business Development Program. The small business size standard for this facilities support services contract is $47 million, establishing the revenue threshold for eligible participants. While the document does not specify the contract value or identify any incumbent contractors, the "II" designation in the title suggests this is a follow-on requirement to a previous Ames Facilities Support Services contract. The procurement falls under PSC code Z1AZ for Maintenance of Other Administrative Facilities and Service Buildings, indicating the scope involves ongoing facility maintenance and support operations. All responsible sources meeting the 8(a) eligibility requirements may submit offers for the agency's consideration.
