- Description
- NASA/ARC has a requirement for a second Water Vapor Monitoring Radiometer Assemblyunit to serve as a spare to an identical unit that was previously procured and is in useon the Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy (SOFIA) airborne observatory. Aspare unit is mandated by the reliability and mean-time-to-repair requirements that havebeen levied on the SOFIA Water Vapor Monitor hardware. The spare unit must be identicalto the original so that recalibration is not needed if the spare unit is installed in theevent of a malfunction of the original hardware. The time needed for such recalibrationwould violate the mean-time-to-repair requirements. Using an exact duplicate will alsoallow NASA to avoid having to repeat the extremely expensive environmental testing thatwas necessary to qualify the original hardware. NASA/ARC intends to purchase the second Water Vapor Radiometer Unit from Millitech Inc.of Northampton, MA, in accordance with 10 USC 2304(c)(1), the only known responsiblesource for these items, and no other supplies or services will satisfy agencyrequirements. Millitech is the only source identified that meets all of NASAsrequirements. 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 1:00 p.m. PacificTime on August 12, 2011. Such capabilities/qualifications will be evaluated solely forthe purpose of determining whether or not to conduct this procurement on a competitivebasis.A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed effort on a fulland open competition basis, based upon responses to this notice, is solely within thediscretion 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.NASA FAR Clause 1852.215-84, Ombudsman, is applicable.
