Description

NASA/JSC plans to issue a sole-source modification for a 3-month extension with an option for an additional 3 months to the current Cargo Mission Contract (CMC), NNJ04AA03C, with Lockheed Martin. The contract currently ends September 30, 2010, and provides Cargo Mission Support Services to the International Space Station Program. Under this contract, the contractor will continue performing Pressurized and Unpressurized Cargo/Carrier Integration in support of launch integration, ground processing, on-orbit operations analysis, and cargo return as required by the Statement of Work (SOW). These tasks include management, planning, mission support, physical processing, and analytical integration which are required for safely delivering and returning external cargo to the International Space Station (ISS). Other tasks include Sustaining Engineering, Decals, Placards and Graphics, Automated Transfer Vehicle (ATV) cargo integration for NASA pre-packs, and Orbiter Stowage Integration in support of the ISS. The government is planning a follow-on contract with full and open competition which will commence on or about January 1, 2011. This contract extension will allow for the safe flyout of the Shuttle Program under the existing contract to avoid disruption of the contractor’s highly specialized cargo mission support services to the ISS and Shuttle Programs through March 31, 2011.

The Government does not intend to acquire a commercial item using FAR Part 12. See Note 26.

Interested organizations may submit their capabilities and qualifications to perform the effort in writing to the identified point of contact not later than 4:30 p.m. local time on October 19, 2009. Such capabilities/qualifications will be evaluated solely for the purpose of determining whether or not to conduct this procurement on a competitive basis. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed effort on a full and open competition basis, based upon responses to this notice, is solely within the discretion of the government.

Oral communications are not acceptable in response to this notice.

All responsible sources may submit an offer which shall be considered by the agency.

An Ombudsman has been appointed. See NASA Specific Note “B”.
