Summary
presentation from the assess industry day at NASA Ames Research Center, outlining the draft acquisition approach for aircraft and spaceflight systems engineering support services.

The industry day objectives include presenting the draft acquisition approach, familiarizing potential offerors with technical requirements, and providing an opportunity for questions and feedback on the draft request for proposal (DRFP). It emphasizes that the presentation is not a comprehensive description of requirements and directs attendees to refer to the draft PWS and DRFP for detailed information.

The procurement overview highlights that the contract will be a 100% small business competitive set-aside with a hybrid structure including a management core and IDIQ component, spanning a 5-year performance period with a contract ordering ceiling of approximately $92 million.

The acquisition description details core requirements such as contract management, administration, and IDIQ components covering areas like aerodynamics, aerothermodynamics, aeroacoustics, machine learning, materials design/manufacturing/test/evaluation, systems analysis/engineering/design/development, structures analysis, engineering risk analysis, system integration, and project management support.

The document also outlines the acquisition strategy as a consolidation effort from previous contracts towards a single award hybrid contract under FAR 15 and NFS part 1815. Proposal preparation guidelines are provided along with evaluation factors including mission suitability, past performance, and cost/price considerations. The source selection authority's decision-making process is highlighted along with an invitation for potential offerors to provide feedback on various aspects of the draft solicitation.
