The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) George C. Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC) is issuing this solicitation for the Consolidated Program Support Services (CPSS) Program, Planning, and Control (PP&C) acquisition activity. The CPSS acquisition includes three separate Source Evaluation Boards (SEBs) for the following disciplines: Program, Planning, and Control (PP&C) Project Coordination (PC) Configuration and Data Management (CDM) This posting includes the Final Request for Proposal (RFP) for CPSS PP&C. The period for questions or comments relative to this acquisition has closed. At this time, the Government is no longer accepting additional questions or comments in relation to the solicitation. This solicitation is for the CPSS PP&C acquisition which is the follow-on competition for the existing Marshall Integrated Program Support Services (MIPSS) PP&C task order and MIPSS Programmatic Subject Matter Expert (SME) task order. CPSS PP&C includes PP&C integration, Earned Value Management (EVM), cost estimating, cost analysis, and scheduling. The PP&C integration discipline includes programmatic services supporting managers and decision makers for all aspects of program performance including planning, budgeting, scheduling, cost control, EVM, full cost accounting and budgeting implementation, workforce tracking and analysis, and risk management. The EVM discipline provides support in the area of EVM processes, analyses, and assessments including the Integrated Baseline Review (IBR) process per the NASA IBR Handbook, and surveillance and compliance activities per Electronic Industries Alliance EIA-748, Earned Value Management Systems, as well as training of EVM processes and tools. The Cost Estimating and Cost Analysis discipline provides support to program and projects in determining life-cycle costs (LCCs) and provides independent cost assessments of on-going projects. Within the PP&C cost estimating and analysis discipline, support for resource data storage and retrieval library will be required. The Resource Data Storage and Retrieval (REDSTAR) Library is a physical and online storage location for documents containing cost, schedule, technical, and programmatic data on NASA and non-NASA projects, along with studies, cost estimates, and other documents of interest to the NASA cost estimating community. The scheduling discipline provides support in the areas of WBS and schedule development, maintenance, analysis, assessments to include schedule risk assessments, and training. CPSS SME discipline provides highly qualified experienced SME support to program management including, but not limited to, mentoring, strategic program and project planning and alternatives analysis, program cost and schedule projections, project review, and special studies as requested by the Government. The CPSS PP&C acquisition is a total small business set-aside. The CPSS PP&C contract will provide Mission Service PP&C support for MSFC and Johnson Space Center (JSC); however, it will include an indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) component to provide additional PP&C support service and SME support Service to MSFC and any other NASA Centers, including Component Facilities and Technical & Service Support Centers, as identified in subsequent awarded task orders, and at such other locations as may be approved in writing by the Contracting Officer. The CPSS PP&C contract period of performance will include a one-year base period and four one-year option periods (to be exercised at the Government's discretion). The Mission Services and IDIQ portions of the contract are anticipated to be firm-fixed-price and the SME IDIQ effort is anticipated to be Time and Materials (T&M). Performance-based deductions will apply to the contract in its entirety. Potential offerors shall possess an active Top Secret Facility Clearance (FCL) by the due date for receipt of proposals. Unpopulated Joint Venture (JV) offerors must have Top Secret FCLs for each member of the JV by the specified due date. Utilizing the CAGE code(s) provided, the Government will verify that the offeror possesses an active FCL using the Defense Counterintelligence and Security Agency's (DCSA) National Industrial Security System (NISS). No offeror will be considered for award that does not have a Top Secret level FCL in place by the due date for receipt of proposals. Previous postings for this requirement include: 1.
