E-MAIL: Christine L. Mack, christine.l.mack1@jsc.nasa.gov. NASA/JSC plans to issue a Request for Proposal (RFP) for a modification to the Research and Logistics Mission Support contract to add options supporting six additional missions via lease of various types of modules (single, double, research, logistics, docking double), variable allocations of space for NASA-sponsored payloads, and purchase of integration and operations services. The options will include provisions for necessary external payload accomodations using an Integrated Cargo Carrier and the SPACEHAB/Oceaneering Space Systems enclosure, required to support specific payloads. NASA/JSC intends to purchase the items from Spacehab, Inc. because this contractor is the only commercial source having spaceflight-certified habitable pressurized modules available for immediate use. The Government intends to acquire a commercial item using FAR Part 12. RFP will be released on or about 30 days after publication of this synopsis in the CBD. Firm date for receipt of proposals will be stated in the RFP. All responsible sources may submit a proposal which shall be considered by the agency. An Ombudsman has been appointed, See Internet Note "B". See Note 22. Any referenced notes can be viewed at the following URL: http://genesis.gsfc.nasa.gov/nnotes.htm. Posted 10/30/98 (D-SN267050).
