Description

You are invited to submit a Phase 1 proposal in response to the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Kennedy Space Center (KSC) Launch Complex (LC) 39 Area Duct Bank System Replacement solicitation.

The principal purpose of this requirement is to provide for the design and construction of the Launch Complex (LC) 39 Area Duct Bank System Replacement utilizing the Design Build Institute of America (DBIA) best practices.

NASA will conduct this acquisition as a full and open competition. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this acquisition is 237130, Power and Communication Line and Related Structures Construction, and the small business size standard is $45M.

This competitive acquisition will result in a firm-fixed-price (FFP) contract. Incentive Milestones may also be considered for this procurement. The anticipated contract award date is July 31, 2025. The contract will be performed on-site at NASA KSC.

The solicitation will be conducted as a Two-Phase Design-Build Selection Procedure in accordance with the model deviation text for FAR Part 36, FAR 36.101-2 and FAR Part 15.

In Phase I, Offerors are required to submit a Proposal detailing their Technical Approach, Technical Qualifications, and Past Performance on Relevant Projects, demonstrating their capability to successfully execute the design-build construction project outlined above. The Government will evaluate the submissions based on the criteria specified in the Phase 1 RFP and will select no more than three of the most highly qualified Offerors to advance to Phase II. Offerors not selected for Phase II will be notified in accordance with FAR 15.206-1(a).

In Phase II, a Request for Proposal (RFP) will be issued to the selected Offerors from Phase I, requesting detailed proposals that address both Technical and Price. The Government will evaluate these proposals based on the criteria outlined in Section M of the RFP for Phase II. Ultimately, the Government will select the proposal that represents the best overall value. The unsuccessful Offerors in Phase II who provide a qualifying responsive proposal will be paid a stipend of up to $200,000 to offset the costs associated with the preparation of required conceptual designs as part of Phase II.

Potential offerors should pay close attention to all solicitation instructions; however, the following requirements list is summarized to assist in proposal development. Please note that this list is not exhaustive, and the solicitation terms and conditions and provisions in sections L and M take precedence:

2. Be advised, in accordance with provision L.4, Volume IV, paragraph b., offerors need to encourage their references to submit their Past Performance Questionnaires directly to the Contracting Officer prior to proposal due date.

3. Offerors are required to have a Commercial and Government Entity (CAGE) code that matches the corporate address submitted with its proposal.

In order to control and protect sensitive data owned by the Government and its Contractors, NASA policy required all acquisition-related documents be released in Adobe Portable Document Format (PDF).
