Interested parties are requested to complete their registration for the NOC Pre-Proposal Conference at the following link: https://baforms.typeform.com/to/f2EShk. CONTRACT OVERVIEW: The NBL provides a unique environment to simulate microgravity using underwater neutral buoyancy techniques. It provides capabilities for astronaut training, real-time mission trouble-shooting, extravehicular activity (EVA) procedure development and verification, flight hardware development and verification, water survival training, and support of external customers. Because of the NBL's importance to NASA's mission, and the highly hazardous operations performed there, the NBL has high-visibility to agency management and the general public. The NBL also includes a Logistics and Mockup Facility (LMF) that provides fabrication, repair, and maintenance of mockups and systems. The NBL is operated by JSC's Flight Operations Directorate (FOD). The NBL currently supports the International Space Station (ISS) Program, other NASA future space programs, and other JSC directorates (e.g., Engineering, Health and Human Performance, and Public Affairs). In addition to the JSC directorates, the NBL also supports other NASA field centers, other Government agencies (e.g., U.S. Coast Guard), and commercial companies. The support provided includes use of the NBL for submerged and surface activities. The LMF is also available to provide hardware repairs or modifications to increase productivity in the pool. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: Interested parties may ask questions, view the acquisition milestone schedule, and locate the technical library by visiting the NOC website at https://procurement.jsc.nasa.gov/nbl/. NASA Clause 1852.215-84, Ombudsman, is applicable. The Center Ombudsman for this acquisition can be found at https://prod.nais.nasa.gov/pub/pub_library/Omb.html. It is the Offeror's responsibility to monitor the Internet site for the release of the solicitation and amendments (if any). Potential offerors will be responsible for downloading their own copy of the solicitation and amendments (if any). All questions must be submitted in writing via email. Telephone questions will not be accepted. 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. Respondents will not be notified of the results. The solicitation and any documents related to this procurement will be available over the Internet. These documents will reside on a World Wide Web (WWW) server, which may be accessed using a WWW browser application.
