- This synopsis NNA09308164R-PBH Rapid Response Space Works and Modular SpaceVehicles (RRSW/MSV) replaces synopsis NNA09308164R Rapid Response Space Works andModular Space Vehicles (RRSW/MVS) due to a typo in the title of the procurement. -----NASA/ARC plans to issue a Request for Proposal (RFP) for the Operationally ResponsiveSpace (ORS) Office to procure the Rapid Response Space Works and Modular Space Vehicles(RRSW/MSV). -----This pre-solicitation notice is issued to replace the Request for Information SynopsisRapid Response Space Works-Formerly Known as Chile Works" Reference number NNA09ORS001Lposted July 17, 2009, which will be archived on October 23, 2009.-----The tentative RRSW/MSV schedule is: Issuance of Draft RFP October 23, 2009; Industry Day Oct 27, 2009; Comments on Draft Document Due Nov 9, 2009; Finalsolicitation Nov 23, 2009; Proposals Due 45 days following issuance of final RFP; Contract award March 2010 -----Industry day will be held at Kirtland Air Force Base in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Moreinformation will be posted at a later date. -----Overall Scope of Requirements: The Rapid Response Space Works (RRSW) and Modular SpaceVehicle (MSV) procurement has two primary objectives. The first objective is to standupinitial operations of the RRSW. This objective creates the ability for the ORS Office tomeet its Deploy mission capability of rapidly deploying capabilities to the warfighterwithin days to weeks. The second objective is to procure, outside of the RRSW, modularmulti-mission space vehicles and/or buses and payloads for the RRSW. The first plannedprocurement under the MSV award is a task order for a modular Synthetic Aperture RadarSatellite (SARSat). In close cooperation and coordination with the RRSW and ORS Office,modular spacecraft will be designed, integrated, tested, launched, and will be controlledand operated to meet the RRSW responsive concept. The architecture developed for theseresponsive, modular spacecraft will be designed in such a way as to allow flexibility tomeet multiple missions with minimal changes within the basic design. The spacecraftarchitecture will include a multi-mission, modular bus design and multi-mission, modularpayload designs (mission kits will include electro-optical (EO) and radio frequency (RF)payloads). -----The work will be performed at Kirtland Air Force Base, Albuquerque, New Mexico. -----NASA/ARC is planning a solicitation with multiple contracts to be awarded. One award fora single IDIQ contract for the stand-up and initial operations of the RRSW and a multipleaward IDIQ for modular space vehicles, buses, and payloads. We anticipate the RRSW awardwould be a 5 year IDIQ contract that consists of a 3 year base with two one-year options.Additionally, we anticipate awarding multiple five-year Modular Space Vehicle IDIQcontracts to the most qualified contractors capable of providing the modular spacevehicles, buses and modular payloads to meet the ORS mission set. Both of these effortsare planned to be International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) restricted and operateat least at a DoD Secret level. The individual task orders on the multiple IDIQ contractswill specify the mission requirement, whether the call is for a space vehicle, or just apayload or bus, and will establish the period of performance. -----Contractor Organizational Conflict of Interest (OCI) Plans will be evaluated in theirability to mitigate interactions and potential conflicts between RRSW and MSV contracts. -----The NAICS Code is 541712 Research and Development in the Physical, Engineering, andLife Sciences (except Biotechnology) with Size Standard: 1000 employees, under theexception of Space Vehicles and Guided Missiles, their Propulsion Units, their PropulsionUnits Parts, and their Auxiliary Equipment and Parts -----Prospective offerors shall notify this office of their intent to submit an offer. In yournotification indicate if your interest is in submitting an offer for the RRSW or MSVrequirements, or for both. It is the offeror's responsibility to monitor the Internetsite for the release of the solicitation and amendments (if any). Potential offerors willbe responsible for downloading their own copy of the solicitation and amendments (ifany). -----Any referenced notes may be viewed at the following URLs linked below. An ombudsman has been appointed. See NASA Specific Note "B". The solicitation and any documents related to this procurement will be available over theInternet. These documents will reside on a World-Wide Web (WWW) server, which may beaccessed using a WWW browser application.
