This notice is issued by the NASA/ARC to post a draft Statement of Work via the internet, and solicit responses from interested parties.

It is the potential offeror?s responsibility to monitor these sites for the release of any solicitation or synopsis. Part I. PURPOSE OF SYNOPSIS This synopsis has two purposes: to request information on capabilities of potential offerors and to request information regarding preferred contracting approach. In addition, please provide an estimate of the cost for the SOW requirement. Part II. SUMMARY OF PROPOSED WORK BACKGROUND: Moffett Federal Airfield (MFA) is restricted to 25,000 operations per year in accordance with the Environmental Impact Statement; MFA is a federal facility consequently all landing request require a Prior Permission Request (PPR). The airfield is open 24 hours per day 7days per week, however the tower is open 16 hours per day 7 days per week with Unicom operations after hours. The Contractor should consider other operating models when responding to the RFI: besides the normal 16hr per day 7 days per week schedule consider for example 10 hours per day 6 days per week between the hours of 7 & 5 pm with Unicom operations during off hours. The Government requests information considering the operating environment and level of operations conducted at MFA.

Part III. RESPONSES REGARDING POTENTIAL SOURCES STATEMENT OF CAPABILITIES 1) Capability Information: To request information on capabilities of potential offerors to provide the services described in the attached Statement of Work in order to determine if this will be a small business set-aside and the feasibility of requiring these services separately or combining with the current contract providing Aircraft and Airfield support, but not Air Traffic Control Services.

Current Air Traffic Control services are being obtained through the California National Guard.
