The California Institute of Technology (Caltech) Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), operating under a prime contract with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), is seeking responses to a sources sought notice for the JPL Maintenance & Operations Support.

Scope Description: The JPL is pursuing options to increase spending with small businesses. Of note is a particular emphasis on HUBZone set-asides. JPL is reviewing options to find Small Business Concerns and/or Joint Ventures or Teams led by Small Businesses with experience in multiple of the following listed items. JPL may pursue a team to fulfill all the requirements or may deal with some subcomponents on a standalone basis. We have highlighted potential subcomponents in yellow, but are open to suggestions. JPL encourages both teams addressing the comprehensive requirements as well as business concerns interested in subcomponents to respond. The stated goals are: (1) to ensure JPL has well-qualified subcontractors performing the work; (2) JPL maximizes small business participation in this potential opportunity; and (3) JPL hopes to find sufficient HUBZone competition for targeted set-asides. JPL seeks Small Business Concerns with extensive experience, not brokers, in the following listed items to meet the below scope requirements, and minimum/mandatory qualifications. The JPL Small Business Programs Office (SBPO) will host multiple webinars to targeted groups to review this project requirements document. In addition, teams that appear to have the requisite experience with one or more of the subcategories listed may be granted an online interview with the SBPO to present further information regarding their capabilities.

RESPONSE REQUIREMENTS: Your response to the attached "JPL Facilities Maintenance & Operations Past Performance Summary" is due on or before September 29, 2023. Please submit the completed summary via email to smallbusiness.programsoffice@jpl.nasa.gov by the closing date.

DISCLAIMER: It is emphasized that the requested information is for preliminary planning purposes only and does not constitute a commitment, implied or otherwise, that JPL will solicit you for such a procurement in the future. Neither JPL nor the Government will be responsible for any costs incurred by you responding to this RFI or in furnishing any requested information. Prospective subcontractors are advised that any information provided shall be deemed to be furnished with unlimited rights to JPL, with JPL assuming no liability for the disclosure, use, or reproduction of such data.
