- Description
- This notice is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared inaccordance with the format in FAR Subpart 12.6, as supplemented with additionalinformation included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the onlysolicitation; offers are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued.This notice is being issued as a Request for Quotations (RFQ) for a Developmental SingleBoard Computer (single board) to meet the minimum requirements. The Governments minimumrequirements are listed in the Statement of Work (SOW). The SOW may be accessed at:http://procurement.jsc.nasa.gov/NNJ12421704Q/Final-SOW_SBC_revA.DOCX NASA/JSC intends to make multiple awards to more than one offeror to procure the singleboard. The Government has the option to purchase multiple single boards from thesuccessful offerors. This solicitation is for the acquisition of a Developmental Single Board Computer fortesting and qualification to be approved in future space missions. The acquisition willbe conducted as a three-step procurement using a progressive down-selection techniquebetween phases. In this technique, multiple offerors will be selected for Phase 1. Itis expected that the successful offeror(s) for Phase 2 and Phase 3 will be chosen fromamong the successful offerors of Phase 1 after evaluation and testing. Phase 1 is for the Developmental Single Board computer. Phase 2 & 3 is for theEngineering and Flight Boards, respectively.The competition for Phase 2 and Phase 3 will be based on the results of Phase 1, and theaward criteria for Phase 2 and Phase 3 will include successful completion of Phase 1requirements. NASA/JSC does not intend to issue separate, formal solicitations for Phase 2 and Phase 3. Phase 2 and Phase 3 proposals will be requested from the Phase 1 successful offerors,via a letter. All information required for preparation of Phase 2 and 3 proposals,including the final evaluation criteria and factors, will be provided at that time.Phase 2 and Phase 3 will be synopsized in the Government point of entry in accordancewith FAR 5.201 and 5.203 unless one of the exceptions in FAR 5.202 apply. Notwithstanding NASA's expectation that only the Phase 1 successful offerors will becapable of successfully competing for Phase 2 and Phase 3, all proposals will beconsidered. Any other responsible source may indicate its desire to submit a proposal byresponding to the Phase 2 and Phase 3 synopsis, and NASA will provide that source all theinformation furnished to the Phase 1 offerors necessary to submit a proposal. To be considered for Phase 2 and Phase 3 awards, offerors must demonstrate a designmaturity and NASA testing equivalent to that of the Phase 1 successful offerors. Failureto fully and completely demonstrate the appropriate level of design maturity may renderthe proposal unacceptable with no further consideration for contract award.Although NASA will request Phase 2 and Phase 3 proposals from Phase 1 successfulofferors, submission of Phase 2 and Phase 3 proposals is not a requirement of the Phase 1solicitation/contract. Accordingly, the costs of preparing these proposals shall not be adirect charge to the Phase 1 contract, if applicable. The anticipated schedule for conducting this phased procurement is provided for yourinformation. These dates are projections only and are not intended to commit NASA tocomplete a particular action at a given time.
