1. NOTICE:

This Sources Sought Synopsis/Request for Information (RFI) is not to be construed as a commitment by the Government to issue a solicitation or ultimately award a contract. Responses will not be considered as proposals nor will any award be made as a result of this Sources Sought/RFI. The Sources Sought/RFI is to determine potential sources, for information, and for planning purposes only. Only non-classified information shall be provided in your response.

The Government will NOT be responsible for any costs incurred by interested parties in responding to this Sources Sought/RFI. All interested parties are invited to respond.

The purpose of this Sources Sought/RFI is to conduct market research to determine what construction cost estimating software and unit pricing guides are available for Government use on its upcoming Simplified Acquisition of Base Engineering Requirements (SABER) reacquisition.

2. PROGRAM DETAILS:

The SABER will consist of multiple disciplines in construction such as maintenance, repair, and alteration of real property, with very limited design on facilities supported by Vandenberg Space Force Base (VSFB), California and various locations to include Santa Ynez Peak in Santa Barbara county, Pillar Point in San Mateo county, and Anderson Peak in Monterey County. Task orders issued against the SABER would involve a variety of disciplines such as demolition, reclamation, utilities, excavation, structures, electrical, mechanical, architectural, and other specialty and general construction work.  A Unit Price Guide (UPG) and associated software will be used as the basis for cost estimation of projects on the SABER.  For this effort the Government defines a UPG as commercial pricing tools such as computer cost databases and libraries of hard copy books which list construction tasks as line items by a unit of measure and a unit price.  The UPG and software that is selected for VSFB’s SABER will be used by both the Government and contractors to develop cost estimates to complete the various task orders anticipated to range between $2,000 and $5,000,000.  The estimates would additionally use coefficients which increase or decrease the order costs for areas such as overhead, profit, minimum design costs, G&A expenses, bond premiums, and gross receipt taxes.

3. CAPABILITY STATEMENTS:

Capability Statement: Interested contractors should demonstrate its product offering’s capabilities to include: ability to “localize” data either through the inclusion of or use of a local area cost factor or development of a localized UPG; ability to create line item estimates for a wide range of construction efforts; ability to utilize coefficients either internally to the software or via export to Microsoft Excel; the costs for licenses; how often the cost database is updated (e.g. monthly, quarterly, annually); the availability of instructor led training for new users; whether copies of the UPG database are available in either print or digital versions without the use of the software; and whether the software is locally installed (e.g. installed on user’s computers or an organization’s shared drive) or cloud/web based.

SOURCES SOUGHT SPECIAL NOTICE 2024

NASA Ames Research Center (ARC) is seeking partners interested in developing competitive proposals in response to NASA Announcements of Opportunity (AOs), Broad Agency Announcements (BAAs), Missions of Opportunities (MoOs) and proposal calls from other government agencies. ARC is interested in identifying potential partners that can perform science investigations, conduct research activities, and develop and demonstrate new technologies that are aligned with NASA’s goals. Information is also sought regarding partners that, in addition to performing substantial research, can provide flight hardware (i.e., spacecraft, deployment systems, suborbital systems, ground support systems, equipment, or instrumentation) necessary to implement proposed science investigations, research activities or technology demonstration missions.

NASA often competitively selects scientific investigations, technology development and demonstration missions through solicitations or announcements posted on NSPIRES http://nspires.nasaprs.com/external. These missions are typically led by a single Principal Investigator (PI), Principal Technologist (PT), or Project Manager (PM). The PI, PT, or PM may be from Government or non-Government institutions, including academic institutions, industry or nonprofit entities, one of NASA’s nine field Centers, NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), other federally funded research and development centers, or other U.S. Government agencies. Mission teams may be formed from any combination of these institutions including international partners. ARC may respond to an AO or other proposal calls in either a lead or supporting role.

ARC has a history of responding to a wide variety of NASA AOs including: planetary exploration AOs from the NASA New Frontiers Program (https://www.nasa.gov/planetarymissions/newfrontiers.html), the NASA Discovery Program (https://science.nasa.gov/solar-system/programs/discovery), and the NASA SIMPLEx program (https://soma.larc.nasa.gov/simplex/); various AOs from the NASA Explorers Program (https://explorers.gsfc.nasa.gov) including MIDEX, SMEX, and Missions of Opportunity (MoO); and Research Opportunities in Space and Earth Sciences (ROSES) AOs. ARC anticipates responding to current and future AOs in these and other areas as well.

A full description of current, future, and past calls for proposals from SMD, STMD, ESDMD, SOMD, and ARMD at NASA Headquarters can be found at http://nspires.nasaprs.com/external. Additional information is available at http://science.nasa.gov/researchers.   

This synopsis/special notice is posted annually in anticipation of upcoming AOs and may have subsequent specific updates as ARC seeks partners for specific proposal opportunities. ARC is currently considering responding to AOs from NASA's Science Mission Directorate (SMD), Space Technology Mission Directorate (STMD), Space Operations Mission Directorate (SOMD), and Exploration Systems Development Mission Directorate (ESDMD).

Current NSPIRES AOs to which ARC may be interested in responding to are listed below by NASA Mission Directorate. ARC is interested in responding to future NSPIRES AOs and AOs from other sources, such as NSF, NIH, and others within the next several years.

Responses from prospective partners are encouraged even if a particular solicitation is not on the list below. ARC typically begins many of its efforts in response to planned or anticipated future AOs 18 to 36 months in advance of the release of the draft AO.
