Modification 4 – February 3, 2022
The purpose of this RFI is to inform industry that NASA/JSC is providing interested parties an opportunity to provide information regarding potential organizational conflicts of interest (OCI) arising from the upcoming Rendezvous, Proximity Operations, and Capture V (RPOC V) contract.
NASA will provide a written response and an optional virtual briefing to each interested party submitting a response to this RFI. Written responses/briefings are intended to provide
information on the Government’s analysis of the mitigation approach proposed in the company’s OCI mitigation strategy. Written responses/briefings will not discuss how to
mitigate an OCI but will provide context on the Government’s analysis of the OCI mitigation strategy. The Government will only address information provided in the company’s OCI
mitigation strategy, will not address hypotheticals or NASA non-public information, and will
not entertain any new information brought up during the briefing.
The nature of the work anticipated under the RPOC V contract may create the potential for OCI(s) as currently described in FAR Subpart 9.5. Each interested party should review FAR Subpart 9.5 in light of NASA’s anticipation of OCI issues and consider carefully the extent to which an OCI may arise before making the decision to compete for the RPOC V contract.
Specifically, NASA anticipates that the effort under the RPOC V contract will include the following types of tasks which could lead to potential OCI issues:
These types of tasks could lead to the following categories of OCI depending on the composition of the team selected for the RPOC V contract:
This list is representative of potential OCI issues that NASA has identified, however, it is not intended to be all inclusive of areas of OCI concern that your company may identify related to the performance of the RPOC V contract requirements.
Interested parties are requested to address the following questions in their response:
Responses must be submitted via e-mail to the Contracting Officer listed below by 4:00 PM Central Time on February 10, 2022. NASA will review any responses received regarding potential OCI and each offeror’s proposed OCI mitigation strategy. NASA will respond to each company who submits a mitigation strategy. NASA’s response is not intended to serve as a confirmation that, in fact, all potential OCI issues have been identified, an OCI will ultimately exist, or that an interested party is capable of successfully avoiding or mitigating an identified OCI. NASA’s response is also not intended to encourage or discourage any interested party from responding to an RFP issued for RPOC V in the future. Furthermore, NASA’s response in no way alters or interprets FAR 9.5 as it applies to a final statement of work or a final proposal submission, should an interest party elect to submit a proposal to an RFP for RPOC V. Subsequent to this OCI submission and NASA’s response, NASA will not consider further information as it relates to this RFI.
The documents currently on the NASA RPOC V acquisition website are for information and planning purposes to allow industry the opportunity to comment, and to promote competition only. NASA will not affirmatively release any information received in response to this RFI to the public, but may use information received in developing the best approach for a contract strategy, and therefore such information may be recognizable to the interested party who submitted it. Any information submitted in response to this RFI that is marked as “Confidential Commercial or Financial Information” will be considered as voluntarily submitted in accordance with the Freedom of Information Act.
All questions should be directed to the point of contact identified below. In accordance with FAR 15.201(e), responses to this notice are not offers and cannot be accepted by NASA to form a binding contract. NASA is under no obligation to issue a solicitation or to award any contract on the basis of this RFI. NASA will not pay for any information solicited under this RFI. No solicitation exists; therefore, do not request a copy of a solicitation. If a solicitation is released it will be synopsized on SAM.gov. It is the interested party’s responsibility to monitor this website for the release of any subsequent solicitation or synopsis.
