This announcement constitutes the onlysolicitation; offers are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued.This notice is being issued as a Sole Source Request for Quotation (RFQ) to CaliforniaPolytechnic State University (CalPoly) San Luis Obispo, CA for:Up To 40 Poly-Picosatellite Orbital Deployers (P-PODS) with the California PolytechnicState University and Integration Insight/Oversight Options Over a Five Year PerformancePeriod.Last item.The purpose of the P-POD is to integrate University CubeSat payload to the Launch Vehiclethird stage; during the flight sequence the P-POD will deploy up to three spacecraft. The period of performance is expected to be five years from date of award.CalPoly is uniquely qualified as the design agency and developer of the P-POD.CalPolygenerated the design concept, built the P-POD and performed all of the required strengthand failure modes and effects analyses to support the operation of the P-POD. CalPolyhas successfully used the P-POD to fly CubeSats on other launch vehicles. Due to theuniqueness of the P-POD, it is the only existing hardware that can meet the requirementsof the P-POD mission. Only CalPoly can manufacture, test, and integrate the P-POD tomeet the Government's technical and schedule requirements.The acquisition of any other contractor's deployer would entail unacceptable technicalrisk.
