The September 22, 2008 Standard Form 1449 that awarded DIA contract HHM402-08-C-0072 to Bigelow Aerospace Advanced Space Studies, a $21,948,810 firm-fixed-price instrument that priced the AAWSAP work into line items for monthly status reports, project management plans, research reports, and a Comprehensive Integrated Threat Assessment.
DOW-UAP-D111, AAWSAP Solicitation and Original Order, September 2008
The September 22, 2008 Standard Form 1449 that awarded DIA contract HHM402-08-C-0072 to Bigelow Aerospace Advanced Space Studies, a $21,948,810 firm-fixed-price instrument that priced the AAWSAP work into line items for monthly status reports, project management plans, research reports, and a Comprehensive Integrated Threat Assessment.
DIA's Virginia Contracting Activity at Bolling AFB awarded contract HHM402-08-C-0072 to Bigelow Aerospace Advanced Space Studies (BAASS) of Las Vegas on September 22, 2008, three weeks after issuing solicitation HHM402-08-R-0211 on September 1, and the award incorporates BAASS's proposal dated 9/3/2008 by reference under a firm-fixed-price arrangement. The base year (09/22/2008 to 09/21/2009) is priced in six line items that sum to exactly $10,000,000: 12 monthly status reports ($2,887,000), 12 project management plans for Tasks 3.a.1 through 3.a.12 ($3,600,000), 12 research reports ($2,100,000), one Comprehensive Integrated Threat Assessment ($240,000), travel ($50,000), and other direct costs ($1,123,000). Option-year line items add $11,948,810 with periods of performance running to 12/21/2010, and two zero-dollar line items marked UNUSED are kept to align accounting with revised CLINs, a trace that reads as post-award modification. The remaining 54 pages are FAR and DFARS clauses, including FAR 52.227-17, which gives the Government unlimited rights in everything BAASS produced and bars the contractor from publishing that data without the Contracting Officer's written permission.
