This website provides potential offerors access to a bidder’s library of uncontrolled technical documents applicable to this acquisition, to include historical information. SECTION 1: INTRODUCTION The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Kennedy Space Center (KSC) is hereby soliciting information from potential sources capable of maintaining and operating NASA facilities, systems, equipment, and utilities (FSEU) at KSC and Cape Canaveral Space Force Station (CCSFS); and providing logistics and other technical support services at KSC under a fixed price contract. The Spaceport Infrastructure, Maintenance, and Operations (SIMO) contract will succeed KSC’s Base Operations and Spaceport Services (BOSS) contract; however, complete requirements under the performance work statement are to be defined. Requirements contemplated under this acquisition reflect a significant departure from the services under the BOSS contract and its canceled follow-on procurement for Spaceport Operations and Center Services. Specifically, NASA is assuming end-to-end engineering responsibility for all assigned FSEU. Additionally, NASA will perform engineering analysis, causal determination, technical disposition, system-level evaluation, and corrective-action development. NASA will also directly operate and manage continuous spaceport integration activities including real-time monitoring, conflict assessment, and customer communication for all KSC Spaceport operations. This includes providing scheduling and master schedule management, integrated outage coordination and infrastructure impact management, prescribed burn coordination, and transport integration and hardware movement oversight. Finally, NASA will perform construction support services to include participation in workforce planning for Construction of Facility (CoF) and Local Authority projects; providing recommendations on necessary construction support levels; attending design reviews; reviewing design packages for constructability; participating in construction status discussions; and providing coordination and project-administration support. The SIMO contract is expected to support over 30 customers, including NASA, other Government agencies, and commercial customers, across approximately 220 square miles, primarily at KSC, Florida, and CCSFS, Florida. Performance under the contract is anticipated to commence no earlier than April 2027. NASA is seeking capability statements from all interested parties, including all socioeconomic categories of small businesses and Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU)/Minority Institutions (MI) for the purposes of determining the appropriate level of competition and/or small business subcontracting goals. Vendors are encouraged to demonstrate capabilities as a prime, subcontractor and/or teaming partner. The Government reserves the right to consider a small business, small disadvantaged business (SDB), historically underutilized business zone, veteran owned small business, service-disabled veteran owned small business, or women-owned small business set-aside based on responses received. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code is 561210, All Other Support Services, and the corresponding small business size standard is $47 million. SECTION 2: SERVICES/SCOPE Preventative maintenance includes performing preventive maintenance (PM) and predictive testing and inspection (PTI) on assigned FSEU in approximately 900 facilities of varying complexity. Assigned FSEU includes, but is not limited to, high voltage/medium voltage power; low voltage power; electronic security systems; traffic signaling systems; oxygen deficiency monitoring systems; fire alarm systems; fire suppression systems; Heating Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) and compressed air systems; elevators and chairlifts; plumbing; water distribution; wastewater collection and pre-treatment; stormwater infrastructure; facility interiors and exteriors; structures and towers; transportation infrastructure; landfill, borrow pit, and disposal services; heavy equipment; and various control and monitoring systems. Reactive maintenance includes trouble calls (TCs) and repairs to address deficiencies, malfunctions, or failures within the systems identified in the paragraph above. This work may range from simple tasks such as replacing stained ceiling tiles, fixing a slow-draining sink, or filling a pothole, to emergency responses required to eliminate hazards to personnel, equipment, or the environment; prevent loss of or damage to Government property; or restore essential services disrupted by unplanned events. More complex examples include replacing a 480-volt uninterruptible power supply or repairing a drawbridge. Reactive maintenance also encompasses service requests (SRs) for facilities-related work that is new in nature and not typically essential to protect, preserve, or restore FSEU. Examples include conference room and special‑event set‑ups; office renovations; installation of items such as whiteboards, bulletin boards, convenience power receptacles, task lighting, window treatments, shelves, and signage; fabrication of decals, nameplates, signs, and banners; cleaning ducts; sweeping, striping, and painting roads and parking lots; supporting fire‑alarm drills; setting up and maintaining temporary traffic‑control signage and barricades; and assisting with office moves, including boxes, refrigerators, furniture, and associated equipment. Operations include those recurring activities required to maintain a facility so that it can reliably perform its intended function, but which are not considered PM, repairs, and PTI. It includes watch standing or attendance type work requiring the presence of one or more qualified persons during a specified time period. Examples of these operations include adjusting equipment set points, resetting and restarting equipment, isolating and returning equipment to service, recording equipment status, monitoring generators and replenishing fuel levels, and hurricane preparation activities. Operations also encompass control and monitoring systems, which include system-specific control systems such as a Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system that provides central control and monitoring of various facility power systems, utility systems, and energy management systems throughout KSC, as well as multiple Building Automation Systems (BAS), which monitor and control HVAC equipment and monitor environmental conditions in unique processing facilities. Logistics services are comprised of supply and materials management, equipment management, disposal management, and transportation management as defined in NPR 4100.1 NASA Supply Support and Material Management, NPR 4200.1 NASA Equipment Management Procedural Requirements, NPR 4300.1 NASA Personal Property Disposal Procedural Requirements, NPR 6000.1 Requirements for Packaging, Handling, and Transportation for Aeronautical and Space Systems, Equipment, and Associated Components, and NPR 6200.1 NASA Transportation and General Traffic Management. Technical support services include, but are not limited to, work control (e.g., assigning appropriate work types (e.g., TCs, repairs, and SRs), categorizing work requests, and scheduling and tracking work orders through completion), environmental regulatory compliance for managed facilities and operations; configuration management support on assigned FSEU; excavation support services, which include utility locating and surveying. Note: Over the past six years, work control has supported an average of approximately 18,350 PM work orders, 600 PTIs, 3,050 repairs, 3,100 SRs, and 6,700 TCs annually. SECTION 3: SUBMISSION INFORMATION Interested firms having the required capabilities necessary to meet the above requirement described herein should submit a capability statement of no more than 10 pages indicating the ability to perform all aspects of the effort. A page is defined as one side of a sheet, 8 1/2” x 11”, with at least 1-inch margins on all sides, using not smaller than 12-point type. Foldouts count as an equivalent number of 8 1/2” x 11” pages. Responses must be submitted electronically in portable document format (PDF) with searchable text. The capability statement should include: Company’s name and unique entity identifier. Point of contact name, title, and e-mail address. Company’s size and socioeconomic status under NAICS 561210, Facilities Support Services, with a size standard of $47 million.

SECTION 4: METHOD OF PRICING FOR MAINTENANCE SUPPORT REQUESTS (MSRs) Over the past six years, KSC has averaged approximately 31,800 work orders or MSRs (i.e., PM, PTIs, repairs, SRs, and TCs) annually. These work orders are broken down based on the following direct craft labor hours (i.e., hands-on technical troubleshooting, repair, installation, testing, inspection, documentation, and travel between job sites): 14 percent of work orders (approx. 4,305) took up to 1 hour to complete 15 percent of work orders (approx. 4,871) between 1 to 2 hours to complete 23 percent of work orders (approx. 7,442) between 2 to 4 hours to complete 23 percent of work orders (approx. 7,159) between 4 to 8 hours to complete 15 percent of work orders (approx. 4,786) between 8 to 20 hours to complete 10 percent of work orders (approx. 3,191) over 20 hours to complete As provided above, roughly 90 percent of all work requests require fewer than 20 hours to complete. Pricing methodology: The MSR structure considered for SIMO defines discrete work efforts categorized solely on the direct craft labor estimated to complete the effort. MSR categories are defined below and are based on historical information. MSR001: Greater than 0 hours and up to 1 direct craft labor hour MSR002: Greater than 1 hour and up to 2 direct craft labor hours MSR004: Greater than 2 hours and up to 4 direct craft labor hours MSR008: Greater than 4 hours and up to 8 direct craft labor hours MSR020: Greater than 8 hours and up to 20 direct craft labor hours MSR050: Greater than 20 hours and up to 50 direct craft labor hours MSR100: Greater than 50 hours and up to 100 direct craft labor hours MSR200-MSR1000: Greater than 100 hours in 100-hour increments Each MSR is fixed-price and includes the price of direct craft labor, plus the Contractor’s estimate for supporting resources (e.g., work control, management, logistics support). The Contractor determines the initial MSR categorization based on the estimated craft labor hours; however, recategorization may occur based on differing job site conditions (subject to Government approval). MSRs will be ordered on an IDIQ basis and there will be a guaranteed minimum ordering value for MSRs. Historical information will be provided by MSR category to assist with development of MSR pricing. Note: Fuel and “materials” will be reimbursable and excluded from the MSR price. Other 24/7 operations and recurring support will be firm-fixed-price and excluded from MSRs.
