- This is a Sources Sought Synopsis only.NASA/JSC is hereby soliciting capabilities information from certified 8(a), HUBZone, andService Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) concerns within New Mexico andTexas for the construction project Upgrade Sanitary Sewer System at Johnson SpaceCenter (JSC). The purpose of this request is to determine the appropriate level of competition inaccordance with FAR 19.10 Small Business Competitiveness Demonstration Program.Information received will be used to make a determination regarding the use of full andopen competition or to set aside the procurement as an 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSBset-aside. It is the potential offerors responsibility to monitor these sites for therelease of any solicitation or synopsis. It is anticipated the NASA/JSC will issue a solicitation for a General Constructioncontract for the Upgrade Sanitary Sewer System project. The NAICS code for the projectis 237110 with a small business size standard of $33.5 million. This NAICS code tiesdirectly with FAR 19 of the Small Business Competitiveness Demonstration Program, underthe title of Water and Sewer Line and Related Structures Construction. The magnitude ofthe project is between $5,000,000 and $6,000,000 as set forth in FAR 36.204 Disclosure ofthe Magnitude of Construction Projects. No solicitation exists; therefore, do not request a copy of the solicitation. If asolicitation is released it will be synopsized in FedBizOpps and on the NASA AcquisitionInternet Service. Background: The WSTF-Sanitary Sewer System Upgrade will collect wastewater from theWhite Sands Test Facility and deliver it to an existing City of Las Cruces lift stationlocated on Holman Road. WSTFs wastewater system currently includes a lagoon system fortreatment. This project will facilitate the closure of these lagoons. Project Description: The bid will be a lump sum bid price for all work shown on plansand technical specifications prepared by Moreno Cardenas Inc. (MCI).
