NASA/ Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC) has a requirement for the continuation of specialized engineering services under the Huntsville Operations Support Center (HOSC) contract, NNM17AA12C. This contract provides multi-program facilities, systems, and services, both local and remote, which support various mission phases of spacecraft payload and propulsion system operation. Programs supported by the HOSC primarily include the International Space Station (ISS) Program and the Space Launch System (SLS) Program. In an effort to become more efficient, save cost, drive program integration, and lessen contract administrative overhead it has been determined that combining HOSC and Mission Operations and Integration (MO&I) efforts under one contract vehicle is in the Government's best interest. As a result, HOSC requirements will be combined with the MO&I requirements under a separate MSFC procurement activity to form a new contract that dictates both MO&I and HOSC requirements. A 12-month extension of the HOSC contract is required to provide the Procurement Development Team (PDT)/Source Evaluation Board (SEB) participants working the recompetition effort the authority and ability to combine contract requirements (SOW, DRDs, etc.) for a consolidated HOSC/MO&I procurement effort. NASA/MSFC intends to procure the continuation of services through a 12-month extension to the current MO&I contract with Teledyne Brown Engineering (TBE) under the authority of 10 U.S.C § 2304 (c) (1) and FAR 6.302-1, "Only One Responsible Source and No Other Suppliers or Services Will Satisfy Agency Requirements". The Government does not intend to acquire a commercial item using FAR Part 12. Interested organizations may submit their capabilities and qualifications to perform the effort electronically via email to Heath Brock at
[email protected] no later than 4:00 p.m. CST on August 3, 2021. Such capabilities/qualifications will be evaluated solely for the purpose of determining whether or not to conduct this acquisition on a competitive basis. A determination by the Government not to compete this acquisition on a full and open competition basis, based upon responses to this notice, is solely within the discretion of the Government. NASA Clause 1852.215-84, Ombudsman, is applicable. The Center Ombudsman for this acquisition can be found at http://prod.nais.nasa.gov/pub/pub_library/Omb.html
