Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC) is issuing this solicitation (Notice ID# 80MSFC20R0009) as a Request for Proposal (RFP) for the purchase of Center Administrative Support Services II (CASS II) to support MSFC and Michoud Assembly Facility (MAF). This solicitation is a follow-on competition to the Center Administrative Support Services (CASS) contract, NNM16AA10C. CASS II services will continue to provide support to MSFC and MAF. The Government contemplates awarding CASS II as a firm-fixed-price (FFP) contract with an indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) component resulting from this solicitation. The Government intends to solicit offers using a combination of Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 15, Contracting by Negotiation; Part 12, Acquisition of Commercial Items; and NASA FAR Supplement (NFS) Part 1815, Contracting by Negotiation. The following are applicable to this acquisition: FAR 52.212-1, Instructions to Offerors-Commercial Items (JUN 2020); FAR 52.212-3, Offeror Representation And Certifications-Commercial Items (JUN 2020) Alternate I (OCT 2014); FAR 52.212-4, Contract Terms and Conditions-Commercial Items (OCT 2018); and FAR 52.212-5, Contract Terms and Conditions Required To Implement Statutes or Executive Orders-Commercial Items (DEVIATION 20-03). On April 3, 2020, a Request for Information (RFI) / Sources Sought Notice (Notice ID# 80MSFC20-RFI-CASS-II) was posted on beta.sam.gov, requesting capability statements from certified 8(a) Small Businesses to satisfy the Government's requirements under a follow-on procurement and for the purposes of determining the appropriate small business set-aside classification or small business subcontracting goals for the CASS II acquisition. The response due date was April 17, 2020. Since then, this set-aside has been changed from a Section 8(a) to a HUBZone set-aside. A Draft Request for Proposal (DRFP) was not released to seek industry comments for the CASS II requirement, as the acquisition of FFP commercial services will utilize a streamlined non-complex Price Performance Tradeoff (PPTO) acquisition strategy. The CASS II acquisition is a HUBZone small business set-aside. Offerors must be identified as a HUBZone small business concern both at the time of initial offer and at the time of contract award.
