## Background

**NASA originally requested feedback on the overall commercial transportation procurement strategy through the Commercial Space Transportation System Request for Information issued in August 2007.  Key aspects of that feedback have been incorporated into this DRFP.**
**Most notably, areas where NASA has used industry feedback include:**
**Initiating the procurement activity in 2008;**
**Drafting a Federal Acquisition Regulation, Part 12, commercial services contract for end-to-end services to the ISS;**
**Using the commercial practice of Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) licensing;**
**Guaranteeing more than a “nominal” amount if awarded a Basic Indefinite-Delivery Indefinite Quantity;**
**Allowing the offeror to propose key milestones and payment structure within stated restrictions;**
**Allowing the offeror to retain their intellectual property rights;**
**Holding the Contractor responsible for mission success through key performance criteria and a change in the type of NASA insight and approvals.**
**NASA further solicited information on key aspects of the draft RFP.  Comments and questions were requested by March 13, 2008.**

## ISS Resupply Draft Clarifications and Changes

**IV.A.19 Instructions**
**P2 & P3 should be changed to state that the Pressurized Upmass is “Customer Cargo.”**
**P2 & P3 should be changed to state that the Unpressurized Upmass maximum is 3,500kg, NOT 8,000kg.**
**P2 & P3 should be changed to state that the Unpressurized Upmass is “Usable Cargo.”**

**Notes:**
This is a really important page.  
These definitions are significant in defining what they are charging us for.
There was an oversight were the contract tables were changed with these definitions but the instructions with the templates were not changed to reflect the definitions and the change in Kilograms of Unpressurized Cargo.
