23. Dryden Flight Research Center Acquisition Summary Three aspects: Acquisition description—what’s being procured Acquisition strategy—how the Government intents to conduct the procurement Acquisition status—current actions Information is very preliminary and subject to changes Prospective offerors are strongly encouraged to monitor the Agency’s business opportunities website for changes 23RF & ESS Industry Day

24. Dryden Flight Research Center Acquisition Description This acquisition intended to: Cover all PWS effort described this morning. Ensure continuity of services following expiration of the current contract. Acquisition will likely result in a combination of contract types Cost-Plus-Award-Fee (CPAF), Cost-Plus-No-Fee (CPNF) and Indefinite-Delivery/Indefinite-Quantity (IDIQ) with Fixed Prices 24RF & ESS Industry Day

25. Dryden Flight Research Center Acquisition Description Contract will have at least a 5-year performance period: One 2–year base period through July 31, 2014 Three 1-year options through July 31, 2017 A phase-in period, probably for about 30 days, is anticipated and will likely be by separate contract Performance is primarily on-site here at Dryden Installation provided property includes access to office equipment, space, and supplies, and Center services (printing, reproduction, store stock, utilities, etc.) 25RF & ESS Industry Day

26. Dryden Flight Research Center We’re in the very early stages of conducting this procurement Principle acquisition milestones include: Issue SynopsisJuly, 2011 Issue Draft RFPAugust, 2011 Issue RFPOctober, 2011 Proposals DueFebruary, 2012 Evaluation of ProposalsApril, 2012 Contract AwardJune, 2012 Phase-In Period BeginsJuly 1, 2012 Contract Start DateAugust 1, 2012 Acquisition Strategy 26RF & ESS Industry Day

Solicitation evaluation factors will likely include: past performance, technical capability (mission suitability), and cost/price. No determination has been made on which factors (or sub-factors) are to be included or their relative importance. Award may be made without discussions or evaluation may result in establishment of a competitive range and conducting discussions. Acquisition Strategy 27RF & ESS Industry Day

28. Dryden Flight Research Center Acquisition Strategy 28RF & ESS Industry Day There will likely be some form of preference program set- aside (small business, small disadvantage business, 8(a), etc.) NAICS code is 541712 —Research and Development in the Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences (except Biotechnology), Except, Aircraft Small Business Administration size standard is 1500 employees. We anticipated use of: A draft Request for Proposals to solicit your comments. Pre-proposal conference to be held after release of the draft solicitation to assist in your understanding of the procurement.

29. Dryden Flight Research Center Acquisition Status We are currently preparing the Procurement Strategy Meeting (PSM) presentation to NASA HQ. A 10-year deviation request has been submitted to HQ for approval. Industry capability statements (your responses to the sources sought synopsis) are currently being evaluated. Relevant acquisition characteristics that are currently unknown (period of performance, contract type(s), preference program applicability, etc.) will be disclosed in the pre-solicitation synopsis and RFPs. 29RF & ESS Industry Day

30. Dryden Flight Research Center Agenda Continued We will now take a 30 minute break Please submit written questions on the 3 x 5 cards provided by the end of the break Following the break, the Government will attempt to answer as many questions as we can or have time to do. Questions and answers, along with these slides and a list of participants, will be posted on Agency’s business opportunities website. 30RF & ESS Industry Day
