BAA Evaluation Criteria

• 3 evaluation factors in descending orderof importance:

– Technical Approach – Price– Management Approach

• Technical Approach is more important thanPrice which is more important than Management Approach

• Evaluation for Exercise of Options– NASA is currently planning to award Option A period CLINs to up to two of the Base period contractors

For option A evaluation, NASA will evaluate the following:• The Offeror’s proposal, updated from the base period proposal as needed to respond to final, agreed-

upon standards as established with NASA during the Base period; • The Offeror’s FFP for Option A, updated from the Option A FFP initially offered as needed to reflect the

final, agreed-upon specifications, interfaces, and standards as established with NASA during the Base period; and

• The Offeror’s performance during the base period (“past performance”). – NASA is currently planning to award Option B period CLINs to up to two of the Option A period contractors. 18

Appendix H BAA Requirements (Attachment F)

• In section 3 of HLS-RQMT-001, NASA has established an HLS Statement of Objectives (SOO) that sets forth the top-level outcomes and objectives for HLS that Offerors must achieve.

• Derived from these overarching objectives, the HLS Program has established a minimal set of 26 HLS performance requirements identifying the functionality of the integrated lander system in the initial and sustained configurations excluding the launch vehicle(s).

• These requirements, contained in section 4, address the “what” to build. Offerors shall develop unique, innovative, and cost-effective solutions that achieve NASA’s overarching objectives while meeting (or exceeding) these defined functional and performance requirements.

• For some of these 26 requirements, the Government has provided thresholds (minimum requirements) as well as goals; the Contractor shall meet or exceed the thresholds, and may be evaluated more favorably if it meets or exceed the specified goals.

• Mass delivery to lunar surface - at least 865 kg threshold, 965 kg goal• Quiescent NRHO/Lunar Orbit ops capability - at least 60 days threshold, 90 days goal• Lunar surface EVA excursions per mission - at least 2 threshold, 5 goal• Sample return mass – 35 kg threshold, 100 kg goal

19

Appendix H Requirements - Docking

• For the first demonstration mission(s) beginning in 2024, the Contractor shall deliver a system that can dock to either Gateway or Orion.

– Gateway has established a passive interface mechanism for docking. • If the Contractor uses a docking adapter to interface between HLS and Gateway, and leaves

the docking adapter at Gateway during the mission, the Government will take title to the Contractor’s provided docking adapter

– Orion has established an active interface mechanism for docking.

• For the sustained mission(s) starting in 2026, the Contractor shall deliver a system that can dock to Gateway.

20

Appendix H BAA Interfaces & Standards

21

HLS-RQMT-001 Appendix A contains NASA's current understanding of the HLS interfaces that the providers should address within their proposal. The HLS integrated lander must successfully interface with these systems. The Offeror’s proposal must:

(1) Utilize these interface definitions as defined in Appendix A or(2) Propose interfaces that fully meet the intent defined in Appendix A

HLS-RQMT-001 Appendices B through D contain NASA standards that set forth a potential approach for how NASA would design, build, certify, and operate an HLS. These appendices areThe HLS Requirements Document (SRD) offered in this document as a starting point for the Offeror’sproposal for all work to be performed through the end of the contract. The Offeror’s proposal shall:

(1) Demonstrate that the proposal meets or exceeds each NASA standard(2) Employ an alternative approach to a specific standard which the Offeror asserts is equivalent in outcome, with a thorough explanation of such equivalency and a rationale in support of this approach in lieu of NASA’s specification (i.e., a “meets the intent of” approach); and/or(3) On a case-by-case basis, provide an approach that does not meet a particular NASA standard or its intent, but results in a demonstrably better approach that is more likely to enable the Offeror’sability to achieve one or more of NASA’s overarching objectives and functional performance requirements as set forth in section 3 and 4 of this document.

HLS Appendix H BAA: Launch Vehicles

26

The Contractor shall secure a commercial launch vehicle service for transportation of HLS module(s) or integrated landing system to lunar orbit, as well as all necessary launch slots and licenses in accordance with Contract H clause – Launch, Flight, or Reentry Licenses, Permits, and Other Authorizations. The proposed launch vehicles, by three (3) months prior to the FRR, must either:

• Have been NASA Launch Services (NLS) II certified vehicle (reference NASA Policy Directive (NPD) 8610.7);

• Have at least three (3) successful demonstrated launches of a common launch vehicle configuration prior to launching HLS elements; or

• Be a commercial, cargo-version of the Space Launch System (SLS)

- NASA is open to providing the VAB, MAF and the ML as well as other requested items to offerors to facilitate use of a commercial SLS launch approach. The cost of these NASA-provided services will be added to the proposal price of any offeror who proposes to use them for proposal evaluation purposes (same as any other negotiated Government Task Agreement).- As part of the proposal, the Offeror would have to show how they can meet HLS schedule requirements without impacting any other NASA missions and operations.

Legend

Property liability is capped. In exchange for waiving PSO claims against the KTR, NASA requires the KTR to obtain up to $100M in insurance. NASA waives all claims to U.S. Govt. property that exceed the insured amount.

Liability is capped per the terms of the FAA license. NASA does not require insurance beyond the amounts required by the FAA.

Property liability is waived. No property insurance is required. Except for damage caused by willful conduct, NASA waives contractor liability for damage to on-orbit Gateway or Orion structures, modules, or systems.

Liability covered under separate clause.

Generally, the clauses significantly limit the contractor’s potential liability. When the contractor is performing protected space operations, NASA waives its claims against the contractor for: (1) bodily injury, including death; (2) damage/ loss/loss of use of any property; (3) loss of revenue or profits; and (4) other direct,

indirect, or consequential damages.

Additional Liability Provisions

• Clause to cover cross-waiver for lunar surface operations– The final HLS solicitation extended the Government-contractor cross-waiver to cover lunar surface

activities.– Subject to certain limited exceptions, this enables NASA and the contractor to waive the same types

of claims against each other for activities conducted on the lunar surface as are currently covered by the extended cross-waivers for Gateway and Orion operations.

• Approach to address contractor liability in the event of non-performance– If the contractor fails to comply with any material term of the contract, including to such an extent

that it is considered default, the contract’s performance-based payment clause (FAR 52.232-32) allows NASA to reduce, suspend, or “claw back” interim milestone payments (but not delivery milestone payments).

– In addition, the standard default clause (FAR 52.249-9) allows NASA to re-procure the HLS requirements from a new source and hold the contractor liable for “any excess costs for the similar work.”

– To address industry’s concerns about these sources of liability, NASA added additional delivery milestones (which limits NASA’s ability to recoup milestone payments) and used a deviated default clause to cap default liability at 10% of the CLIN value.
