- Description
- NASA/KSC has a requirement for one Battery String Simulator (BSS), one SensorSimulator Chassis, one GPIB Interface Option, one Bus OVP Chassis, and related on-sitetraining. NASA/KSC intends to purchase the items from Programmable Division of Xantrek Technology,Inc. The Xantrex Battery String Simulator (BSS) is needed to support Ground SpecialPower (GSP) in Design and Development for the Constellation Program. The above mentionedBSS, utilizes a two-quadrant AB amplifier and proprietary controller to adjust charge anddischarge currents. This simulates different battery chemistries at differentenvironments and battery conditions. This unique feature is required by the GSP team aswe have different battery chemistries to evaluate, i.e Lithium-Ion, and Nickel-Cadmium. The BSS also has a dynamic simulation feature, a feature required by the GSP team as itallows simulation of field like environment battery responses, which is criticalinformation when performing GSE evaluations.The Government intends to acquire a commercial item using FAR Part 12.Interested organizations may submit their capabilities and qualifications to perform theeffort in writing to Jessica Paglialonga not later than 4:30 p.m. local time on August26, 2008. Such capabilities/qualifications will be evaluated solely for the purpose ofdetermining whether or not to conduct this procurement on a competitive basis.Adetermination by the Government not to compete this proposed effort on a full and opencompetition basis, based upon responses to this notice, is solely within the discretionof 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.
