>With this solicitation, NASA is seeking to acquire a crewed lunar landing demonstration of a lander that enables long-term affordability. NASA has assessed that cost for recurring production and operations drive long-term affordability. In a future Services solicitation, NASA will likely request Offerors to assess NextSTEP-2 Appendix P: Human Landing System Sustaining Lunar Development 35 their HLS designs for relevant DRMs against a set of long-term affordability metrics. These metrics may or may not include items such as:
>Dollars/kg for downmass to the lunar surface from NRHO
>Dollars per utile crew EVA hour on the lunar surface
>Dollars per crew member to the lunar surface
>Cadence-related (e.g., lead times, time between repeat missions, constraints)

>The Offeror shall include an assessment of how their business approach supports long-term affordability, with supporting rationale.

Contractual fuckery is not allowed. NASA won't tolerate BlOrgin NatTeam faggotry again like last time.

>All payment milestones should be associated with technical milestones that include deliverables. Payment milestones may be proposed more frequently than monthly, but Offerors should note that the Government will not make payments more frequently than monthly.

>Milestone acceptance criteria should be specific, measurable, appropriate, realistic, and timely. Greater than 60% of the sum of the prices for proposed Interim milestones across all Integrated Lander CLINs (001, 003-005) should directly reflect completion or testing of hardware and/or software. The Government reserves the right to negotiate any aspect of an Offeror’s milestone payment amounts, schedule, and/or acceptance criteria prior to contract award.
>The Offeror shall not propose additional delivery milestones beyond those already established by the Government.

They want to avoid Boeing's SLS faggotry and cost plus bullying. My sides are in orbit. BlOrgin and Boeing will seethe.
