Confusing RFI from JPL

NASA Solicitation: JPL Request for Information (RFI) for a Basic Ordering Agreement (BOA) in Support of Spacecraft Mechanical Engineering (Sec. 352)

"REQUIREMENTS: The subcontractor shall provide the below-described materials, equipment facilities, and/or services in the quantities and at the times determined by JPL during the period from the date of this subcontract through TBD years thereafter. This is not a total requirements order; however, a minimum amount of $TBD shall be ordered during the above term."

Editor's note: Let me get this straight: JPL is asking companies to submit some very specific information about very specific services - yet JPL cannot provide a time span or cost range under which such services would be rendered.
