NASA Integrated Communications Services
(NICS) Wide Area Network (WAN) services, Local Area Network (LAN) services, Telecommunications Services, Video Services, and Data Services. These requirements are currently provided by the Unified NASA Information Technology Services (UNITeS) contract (#NNM04AA02C), the Outsourcing Desktop Initiative for NASA (ODIN) contract (NAS5-98140 thru NAS5- 98146), and NASA Center IT/Communications contracts. NICS will consolidate the NISN wide area and Center local area networks and services, and transform them into a seamless, end-to-end network to reduce cost, implement consistent operation procedures and processes, improve security, and better integrate NASA’s people, processes, and information to achieve mission success. Before the release of the NICS final RFP, NASA is offering a formal period of due diligence in response to industry requests. From Aug. 17 to Sept. 4, potential bidders will have the opportunity to meet in person with representatives of the various Centers where NICS efforts will occur. The objective is to facilitate a greater technical understanding of the existing environment (“as-is” conditions only). Potential prime contractor offerors may contact the coordinators listed below to arrange for meetings. Potential bidders may bring a maximum of four people per meeting. Visits with individual technical representatives will be limited to one per week per prime contractor team and will not exceed 1.5 hours per visit. The NASA coordinators will arrange for Center access, badging, and scheduling of meetings with NASA technical representatives.
Potential offerors should provide a list of subjects to discuss along with their visit request so that coordinators can assign the appropriate technical representatives for these face-to-face meetings. No additional tours will be provided and no recording devices or cameras will be allowed. Interested firms are cautioned that due diligence meeting times and Center personnel availability are limited. Please ask the Center coordinator how much time before your meeting to allow for security purposes. Also, because the purpose of these meetings is to facilitate a greater technical understanding of the existing environment, presentations regarding the capabilities of potential bidders are not considered to be an optimal use of this limited time. If you have any questions regarding this matter, please contact the NICS Contracting Officer, Jeffrey S. Jackson, at (256) 961-2028, or send e- mail to Jeffrey.S.Jackson@nasa.gov.
