Description
NASA/GSFC has a requirement for Scientific instrument development project titled "An Autonomous Wireless Sensor Network for Antarctic Research". The proposed sensor networks are constructed using individual reggedized low-power computers (called BRICKS) that are interfaced to wireless hardware, seismic sensors, and GPS electronics. NASA/GSFC intends to purchase the items from Vexcel Corporation under the authority of 10. U.S.C. 2304 (c) (1), Only one responsible source. The item to be developed is a communications device specifically designed to facilitate and integrate multiple field measurements in a cold environment (the Greenland ice sheet). This is brand-new technology that is not commercially developed. Vexcel is the only known company that can meet the specifications. The Government does not intend to acquire a commercial item using FAR Part 12. See Note 26. Interested organizations may submit their capabilities and qualifications to perform the effort in writing to the identified point of contact not later than 4:30 p.m. local time on 01/31/2006. 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.
