This notice is issued by the NASA/Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC) to post a Statement of Work to solicit responses from interested parties. This document is for information and planning purposes and to allow industry the opportunity to verify reasonableness and feasibility of the requirement, as well as promote competition.

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC) Wallops Flight Facility (WFF) is hereby soliciting information about potential sources for the second phase of the Restoration of Main Base Electrical Infrastructure project.  This project will replace approximately 20,000 linear feet of direct burial cable with a new electrical power feeder in conduit using directional boring technology. The work will also include replacing approximately 5 live front air switches throughout the Main Base with more reliable and safer SF6 gas switches. In addition, looped circuits will be created as part of this project to allow for more flexibility and resiliency during power outages and system maintenance. This includes replacing all direct burial cables, sectionalized switches, transformers, and other related equipment that make up the system. The existing backbone feeder throughout the Main Base is 15 kV, 4/0 AWG copper with the exception of a few sections of the system. These remaining portions shall be replaced with 4/0 AWG feeders. 

This presolicitation synopsis is not to be construed as a commitment by the Government, nor will the Government pay for the information submitted in response. The Government may not respond to questions/concerns submitted. The Government will use the information to finalize the RFP as necessary.

All comments or questions shall be submitted electronically via email to Leslie Adams at Leslie.M.Adams@nasa.gov and Janicea McCree at Janicea.L.McCree@nasa.gov no later than May 20, 2022 at 4PM, EST. When responding reference Notice ID:  SSWRMBEI10282022.
