Johnson Space Center (JSC) Safety & Mission Assurance (S&MA) Directorate is hereby requesting information from potential sources for the Calibration and Metrology Services V (CAMS V) solicitation. JSC is issuing this Sources Sought Synopsis/Request For Information (RFI) as a means of conducting market research to identify parties having an interest in and the resources to support this requirement. This acquisition will be a follow-on procurement to the current NASA CAMS IV, contract number 80JSC021DA016. The result of this market research will contribute to determining the type and method of procurement. The applicable North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code assigned to this procurement is 541380, Testing Laboratories and Services; under this NAICS code the small business size standard is $19 million. 

NASA JSC is seeking capability statements  from all interested parties, including all socioeconomic categories of Small Businesses and Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU)/Minority Institutions (MI), for the purposes of determining the appropriate level of competition and/or small business subcontracting goals for the CAMS V solicitation. The Government reserves the right to consider a Small, 8(a), Women-owned (WOSB), Service Disabled Veteran (SD-VOSB), Economically Disadvantaged Women-owned Small Business (EDWOSB) or HUBZone business set-aside based on responses received. 

This synopsis is for information and planning purposes only and there is no solicitation at this time. This request for capability information does not constitute a request for proposals and submission of any information in response to this market survey is purely voluntary. The government assumes no financial responsibility for any costs incurred and the respondents will not be notified of the results of the evaluation. If a solicitation is released it will be synopsized in SAM.gov. Interested firms are responsible for monitoring this website and https://www.nasa.gov/jsc/procurement/CAMSV for the release of any solicitation or synopsis.

Organizational Conflicts of Interest (OCI): 

In addition to the information requested above, NASA is requesting information from industry regarding potential OCI arising from the CAMS V acquisition. The nature of the work anticipated under CAMS V contract may create the potential for OCI as currently described in FAR Subpart 9.5. Each interested party should review FAR Subpart 9.5 in light of NASA’s anticipation of OCI issues and consider carefully the extent to which an OCI may arise before making the decision to compete for CAMS V. 

A link to the NASA’s Guide on Organizational Conflicts of Interest is below: 
https://www.nasa.gov/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/nasa-organizational-conflicts-of-interest.pdf 

Please reference this document for additional information about NASA’s policies with respect to OCI issues. Interested parties are requested to address the following questions: 

1. What type(s) of OCI issues would your company or potential team identify, if any, should you choose to propose on the CAMS V contract? 

1. What strategies would you anticipate proposing to mitigate the OCI issues that you identified (if any)? Please provide strategy details, previous examples/experience with other contracts with NASA or other agencies, etc. 

1. Are there any other types of potential OCI issues with the proposed CAMS V contract that were not identified in this RFI? 

1. Does your company foresee any OCI issues associated with the CAMS V that would cause you to decide not to propose on the potential CAMS V RFP? If so, please explain. 

NASA will review any responses received regarding potential OCI and each offeror’s proposed OCI mitigation strategy. NASA will respond to each company who submits an OCI mitigation strategy. NASA’s response will simply be an attempt to examine circumstances which might lead to or eliminate an OCI and is not intended to serve as a confirmation that, in fact, all potential OCI issues have been identified, that an OCI will ultimately exist, or that an interested party is capable of successfully eliminating or mitigating an identified OCI. NASA’s response is also not intended to encourage or discourage any interested party from responding to an RFP issued for CAMS V in the future. Furthermore, NASA’s response in no way alters or interprets FAR 9.5 as it applies to a final statement of work or a final proposal submission, should an interested party elect to submit a proposal to an RFP for CAMS V. Subsequent to the initial OCI submission and NASA’s response, the Government will not consider further information as it relates to this RFI. The Contractor will still be required to comply with the RFP OCI requirements and its submission will be considered in accordance with the RFP. 

The documents on the NASA procurement website are for information and planning purposes, to allow industry the opportunity to comment, and to promote competition only. NASA will not affirmatively release any information received in response to this RFI to the public but may use information received in developing the best approach for a contract strategy, and therefore such information may be recognizable to the interested party who submitted it. 

Submission Instructions: 

Interested firms having the required capabilities necessary to meet the above requirement described herein should submit a capability statement of no more than twenty pages, using no less than 12-point Times New Roman font indicating the ability to perform all aspects of the effort. A firm's response to this RFI shall not exceed twenty pages.   

No solicitation exists; therefore, please do not request a copy of the solicitation. If a solicitation is released, it will be synopsized on SAM.gov and on the CAMS V website. Interested firms are responsible for monitoring this website for the release of any solicitation or synopsis. 

This synopsis is for information and planning purposes and is not to be construed as a commitment by the Government to issue a solicitation or to award a contract, nor will the Government pay for information solicited. Respondents will not be notified of the results of the evaluation. Respondents deemed fully qualified will be considered in any resultant solicitation for the requirement. In accordance with FAR 15.201(e) responses to this notice are not offers and cannot be accepted by NASA to form a binding contract. 

Interested parties who consider themselves qualified to perform one or more elements of the Statement of Work are invited to submit a response to this Sources Sought Notice/RFI by 5:00 p.m. CST on February 19, 2026.
