Added: May 03, 2016 9:34 am Modified: Jun 24, 2016 9:39 amTrack Changes This solicitation is a Request for Proposal (RFP) issued pursuant to NASA FAR Supplement (NFS) 1815.201.

1. RFP Section L contains important information for proposal preparation. RFP Section M sets forth the evaluation criteria and method for award.

2. The Government intends to award the contract resulting from this solicitation without discussions. See Section L provision 52.215-1, Instructions to Offerors - Competitive Acquisition (JAN 2004). To facilitate this process, we would like to avoid situations where proposals include substantive exceptions to the proposed contract terms and conditions, which might be unacceptable to the Government and, therefore, preclude award. The resolution of any exceptions to the proposed contract terms and conditions prior to receipt of proposals will aid the Government in its intention to award without discussions and thus streamline the procurement process.

3. The SPSC procurement will be conducted as a competitive SBA-Certified 8(a) Small Business set-aside. NAICS code 561612, Security Guards and Patrol Services, Size Standard of $20.5M is applicable to this procurement.

6. Provisions L.9, L.10, L.12, and L.13 contain the proposal due date and delivery requirements. Offerors are reminded to ensure their selected customers know to submit the Past Performance Questionnaires to the larc-spsc@mail.nasa.gov inbox by the proposal due date.

7. Provisions L.14, M.2, M.3, and M.4 contain important information on proposal evaluation. NOTE: Provision L.14(a)(1)1.2, which is a technical proposal consideration regarding the proposed listing of contractor-provided equipment, states that if an offeror is proposing alternative equipment from what is defined in the PWS, the offeror must also provide a product specification sheet with the make and model number of all alternative equipment 7 business days prior to proposal submission date specific in Block 9 of the SF 33.
