    The National Aeronautics and Space Administration’s Shared Services Center (NSSC) is seeking information for the NCCIPS V3 contract, focusing on facility operations, maintenance, management, and data center power and network integration for the National Center for Critical Information Processing and Storage (NCCIPS). NCCIPS is a 200,000 sq. ft. secure federal shared services facility in Mississippi, established to support secure processing and storage of sensitive data. The NSSC is gathering information from all interested parties, including small businesses and minority institutions, to determine the appropriate level of competition and potential small business set-asides. A draft Performance Work Statement (PWS) outlines requirements such as experience in managing Tier III data centers, 24/7 facility operations, power and cooling infrastructure, program/project management, IT systems/cybersecurity, logistics, acquisition services, energy management, and retention/phase-in plans. Responses, not exceeding 15 pages, along with a Capabilities Statement Worksheet, are due by January 12, 2026, at 12:00 PM CST to Steven Wood, Kimberly Thomas, and Erin Brayson. A Reverse Industry Day and Site Visit are being planned.
    Attachment 1 - Draft PWS.pdf
    The document "NSSC NCCIPS V3 Draft Performance Work Statement" outlines a draft performance work statement, likely related to a federal government Request for Proposal (RFP) or a similar procurement document. The title suggests it pertains to the NASA Shared Services Center (NSSC) and a program or contract identified as "NCCIPS V3." As a draft, it serves as an initial outline of the scope of work, deliverables, and performance requirements for a potential contractor. This document is a foundational element in the government contracting process, providing prospective vendors with an understanding of the agency's needs and expectations for the services or solutions being sought.
    Attachment 2 - Capabilities Statement Worksheet.xlsx
    The "Vendor Capability Statement Worksheet" is a government document designed to gather detailed information from potential vendors for federal, state, and local RFPs and grants. It requires companies to provide administrative data such as company name, contact, DUNS/Cage Code, ownership, years in business, business type (small or large), average annual revenue, and number of employees. The form also assesses eligibility criteria, including NAICS code 541513 registration and small business status based on a $37.0 million size standard. Vendors must indicate their interest in bidding as a prime or subcontractor and specify business arrangements like partnerships, teaming agreements, or joint ventures. A critical component is the submission of relevant work performed in the last five years, detailing contract numbers, descriptions, types, dollar values, and client contact information, along with explanations of how previous work aligns with current requirements. The document also allows vendors to pose questions or provide comments on the draft PWS scope and feasibility and to identify their specific small business categories (e.g., 8(a), Woman, HUBZone, SDVOSB).
