SUBJECT: Procurement Sensitivity of the Competition of Aeronautics and Exploration Mission Modeling and Simulation (AEMMS) Request for Proposal NNA09274979R
The solicitation for the subject procurement at Ames Research Center was released to industry on November 13, 2009. The issuance of the Request for Proposal (RFP) opens the formal competitive phase of this procurement. Effective immediately for all Ames Research Center personnel, all communications with industry concerning this acquisition will be discontinued. The “blackout” period for communication with industry will continue until all proposals have been received, evaluated, and the contract awarded.
Written requests for information and/or clarification shall be referred to Naomi Castillo-Velasquez, Contracting Officer at mailto:Naomi.Castillo-Velasquez@nasa.gov Compliance with the above will ensure the dissemination of uniform responses to all inquiries and eliminate the preferential treatment of any prospective offeror.
ARC personnel who are involved with the administration of existing contracts with organizations that are competing on this solicitation shall not discuss the subject procurement with non civil servants. In addition, Ames personnel should be extremely sensitive to the nature of contacts with these organizations and shall also guard against any discussions with potential offerors who may visit the premises.
It is critical that all personnel adhere to the above-stated policy so that all prospective offerors are treated equitably.
