- Description
- NASA/DFRC intends to award a sole source contract for the acquisition of two (2)each seven (7) slot Versa Module Eurocard (VME) chassis with extra 3.3VDC 45 ampsconverter by CM Computer of Sevilla - Spain. Item Description: 7 slot VME Chassis with extra 3.3 UDC 45 amps converter. Part Number: CM-ATR-35/FAC/VME64x/90-264VAC/500W/CB3.3-150W/CMP/HTC/HBC/F115-65CFM/EMIG/BTechnical specifications: a. 3/4 ATR, 7 Slot Chassis, Flowthrough Air Cooled, MilitaryVME64x Backplane b. 90-264VAC Input Power, 500 Watts Output Power, extra 3.3VDC 45 AmpsDC/DC converter-6Uboard fitted and wired in backplane slot 7 c. Standard CM Front Panel,High Profile Top Cover, High Profile Bottom Cover d. Fans fitted for 115 VAC 400 Hz, autovoltage and auto frequency through electronics converter box e. EMI/EMC fingerguard f.Chassis Color: Black g. The entire assembly together shall be able to run off powersources from 90 264 VAC, 30 800 Hz. h. Each chassis shall: i. be delivered with acomplete set of MIL-STD-461E and MIL-STD-810F certificates and detail testing reportsissued by independent labs. ii. be flight rated to NASA environmental test requirements,iii. have single board processor capability for use with a VME backplane, iv. havebackplane with low power requirements (DC/DC 3.3 VDC 6U card). NASA/DFRC intends to procure services from CM Computer of Sevilla-Spain. The authorityfor other than full and open competition is only one responsible source, no othersupplies or services will satisfy agency requirements, FAR 6.302-1(a)(2). CM Computer isthe only responsible source; they are the only vendor that can provide the chassispre-configured to SOFIA specifications. As a result, CM Computer is uniquely qualified toprovide the required chassis configuration. No equivalent computer can be obtained fromany other source which meets the specific combination of requirements. Any othercontractor, selected in a competitive procurement, would need to implement a designeffort, adding six (6) to twelve (12) months to the delivery time in order to meet thebelow unique requirements of this procurement: CM Computer is highly specialized in military specifications for flight-system hardwaredesign. The products are manufactured based on field-tested technology and offercommercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) open architectures. These aspects are vital to thisinstant action, allowing for delivery of tested and certified chassis and COTSconfiguration, all of which are critical to the SOFIA early science schedule. Failure toacquire the chassis by January 31, 2009 will adversely impact other SOFIA tasks dependenton the chassis installation. These reasons justify procuring the work exclusively from CM Computer.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 the identified point of contact not later than 4:30 p.m. local timeon September 25, 2008. Such capabilities/qualifications will be evaluated solely for thepurpose 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 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.
