Original Set Aside:

THIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL. NO PROPOSALS ARE TO BE SUBMITTED IN RESPONSE TO THIS NOTICE. This notice is issued by NASA/Kennedy Space Center to post a draft Schedule of Supplies to solicit responses from interested parties. This document is for information and planning purposes and to allow industry the opportunity to verify reasonableness and feasibility of the requirement, as well as promote competition. The NASA/KSC Office of Procurement intends to issue a combined synopsis/solicitation for the procurement of liquid and gaseous helium, as detailed in the attached draft Schedule of Supplies. The Government intends to issue the combined synopsis/solicitation under FAR 12, Acquisition of Commercial Items, in conjunction with the procedures of Part 15, Contracting by Negotiation, and any resulting award will be made in the form of a Firm Fixed Price Indefinite Delivery Requirements contract with awards to multiple offerors. All CLINs will be individually competed and awards will be made on the basis of lowest evaluated price per CLIN. It is likely that award will be made using the lowest-price-technically-acceptable source selection process (as described in FAR 15.101-2). The total contract duration will be five years, which will consist of a two-year base period and three one-year options. The base period of performance is from October 1, 2022 through September 30, 2024, with a potential total period of performance through September 30, 2027. It is anticipated that this action will be issued as unrestricted. The NAICS Code and Size Standard are 325120 and 1000 employees respectively. It is anticipated that a combined synopsis/solicitation will be issued via the Government Point of Entry website https://www.sam.gov no later than April 30, 2022. This presolicitation synopsis is not to be construed as a commitment by the Government, nor will the Government pay for the information submitted in response. The Government may not respond to questions/concerns submitted. The Government will use the information to finalize the synopsis/solicitation as necessary. All comments or questions shall be submitted electronically via email to the Contracting Officer, Brenda Teachworth, Brenda.L.Teachworth@nasa.gov, no later than January 14, 2022 at 4:00pm EST. When responding reference sources sought NNK22ZOS001L. 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 . If a solicitation is released, then it and any additional documents will be available on www.Sam.gov. It is the offeror's responsibility to monitor this website for the release of the solicitation and amendments (if any). Potential offerors will be responsible for downloading their own copy of the solicitation and amendments, if any.
