- Description
- NASA/KSC has a sole source requirement for the upgrade of the capabilities of the laboratory for digital image acquisition from a stereomicroscope. NASA/KSC intends to purchase the items from C Squared Corporation of Ft. Lauderdale, FL. The current configuration of the zoom stereomicroscope and boom stand in the laboratories contains Olympus Microscope hardware. The proposed upgrade is also specified as Olympus hardware to work with the current boom stand and base so as not to require unique, or manufactured adapters. Also, in order to obtain high precision digital images, precision microfocusing is used and any attempt to modify the existing boom stand or base to work with non-Olympus hardware could introduce unacceptable "Slop" in the microfocusing mechanism and significantly reduce the image quality. C Squared Corporation is the southeast regional distributor for Olympus Microscopes and is the sole source for procurement of Olympus Industrial Grade Microscope Hardware for facilities located in the Southeastern United States. The Government intends to acquire a commercial item using FAR Part 12. Interested organizations may submit their capabilities and qualifications to perform the effort in writing to Jaime L. Carter, Mail Code: OP-MS, Kennedy Space Center, FL 32899, Jaime.Carter@NASA.GOV not later than 2:00 p.m. local time on July 15, 2004. Such capabilities/qualifications will be evaluated solely for the purpose of determining whether or not to conduct this procurement on a competitive basis. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed effort on a full and open competition basis, based upon responses to this notice, is solely within the discretion of the government. Oral communications are not acceptable in response to this notice. All responsible sources may submit an offer which shall be considered by the agency. An Ombudsman has been appointed.
