Qty: 1 lot; ITEM 2 Product Code No. 535-103796 Annual Software Support and Maintenance Agreement forVxWorks 6.7. Qty: 1 lot; ITEM 3 Product Code No. 500-143643 Workbench development platform/software (for VxWorks6.7) includes License. Qty: 1 lot; and ITEM 4 Product Code No. 500-103796 Annual Software Support and Maintenance Agreement forWorkbench. Qty: 1 lot. Period of Performance for Items 2 and 4: 1 year. NFS 1852.227-86 Commercial Computer Software Licensing is applicable. DELIVERY: FOB Destination Required. Delivery of all items required 10 days after awardof an order. The Government intends to purchase the above requirements from Wind River Systems, Inc.,the developer of the real-time operating system and development platform/software, asthey are the only known source that can provide the required products and services thatare compatible with NASA/KSCs existing software code. Since 2003, NASA/KSC hasmaintained and used Wind River Systems Inc.s VxWorks 5.5 real-time operating system andTornado 2.2 development platform/software in the development of a GPS Metric TrackingSystem targeted for completion on or before October 2010. In order to initially use theVxWorks real-time operating system and development platform/software, NASA/KSC had towrite software code to run on VxWorks. This existing software code is capable of onlyreading VxWorks software as that is what it is written for. Wind River Systems Inc.recently upgraded VxWorks 5.5 and Tornado 2.2 to VxWorks 6.7 and Workbench. For NASA/KSCto continue the development of the GPS Metric Tracking System and meet the abovementioned completion date, NASA/KSC requires VxWorks 6.7 and Workbench. Market researchwas performed and it was determined that there are no other known real-time operatingsystems and development platform/software that run on software that NASA/KSCs existingcode can read without having to be rewritten. The Government intends to acquire commercial services 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. EasternTime on May 18, 2009.
