4. Reasons for Conducting Conference Provide an opportunity for potential Offerors to view the site and gather information Increase chance to award contract without discussions

5. Conference Guidelines Questions pertaining to the RFP must be submitted in writing List of attendees, conference presentation, and response to questions received will be posted on the NAIS/FEDBIZOPS websites Cameras are allowed Everyone must stay together as a group

6. Procurement Specifics Total Competitive Small Business Set-Aside NAICS 334418 -- 500 Employees or less Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) Cost-Plus Fixed Fee (CPFF) and Firm Fixed Price (FFP) and Cost Reimbursable Line Items (*Possible Recovery Act funding) 5 Year Base * No Recovery Act Funding is slated for this procurement at this time but may be added in the future per task order if received.

7. Proposal Preparation Instructions Assure proposal contains all necessary information, required documentation, and is complete in all aspects. The evaluation is based upon actual material presented and not on the basis of what is implied. See FAR 52.215-1 Instructions to Offerors – Competitive Acquisition. Ensure that the cost/price proposal is consistent with the technical proposal in all respects since the cost/price proposal may be used as an aid to determine the Offeror’s understanding of the technical requirements. Discrepancies may be viewed as a lack of understanding. NASA may reject any proposal that fails to comply with all proposal instructions.

8. Method of Evaluation (Section M) Proposals received in response to this solicitation will be evaluated by a Source Evaluation Team (SET) in accordance with NFS 1815.3 The Source Selection Authority (SSA), after consultation with the SET and other advisors, will select the Offeror that can perform the contract in a manner most advantageous to the Government, all factors considered.

9. Evaluation Factors Factor 1—Mission Suitability –Understanding the Requirement and Technical Approach (URTA) –Management –Safety and Health Factor 2—Cost/Price Factor 3—Past Performance –Past Performance and Questionnaires are requested to be submitted approximately two weeks prior to the proposal due date

10. Relative Importance of Evaluation Factors (Section M, Paragraph M.4) NASA will award a contract to the offeror who’s proposal represents the best value to the government based on the evaluation of Mission Suitability, Cost/Price and Past Performance factors identified. Each factor will be essentially equal in importance. All evaluation factors other than Cost/Price, when combined, are significantly more important than Cost/Price.

11. Relative Importance of Evaluation Factors (con’t) (Section M, Paragraph M.4) Each subfactor’s relative importance is as follows: Subfactor 1 is slightly more important than Subfactor 2 Subfactor 2 is significantly more important than Subfactor 3 When combined Subfactors 1 and 2 are significantly more important than Subfactor 3
