- Description
- NASA/GSFC has a requirement for a Custom Volume Scattering Function (VSF)-9 Instrument with 9 angles at 650 nm. Technical specifications for the VSF meter Instrument are as follows: (1) Rated depth to 500 meters (2) 12 VDC Input Voltage (3) Near-neutal buoyancy in seawater (4) 9 angles at one wavelength, minimum 60 degrees, maximum 170 degrees (5) 1 Hz sampling rate (6) Sensitivity to 0.005 m-1 NASA/GSFC intends to purchase the items from Wet Labs Inc., pursuant to FAR 13.106, for the aquisition of supplies or services determined to be reasonably available from only one source. To our knowledge Wetlabs is the only supplier of this instrument.Other similiar instruments are possibly available but only as a prototype. The sensitivity of the Wetlabs product is superior as this is very important in oceanic waters. The Government intends to acquire a commercial item using FAR Part 12. Interested organizations may submit their capabilities and qualifications to perform the effort in writing to the identified point of contact not later than 4:30 p.m. local time on September 24, 2012. Such capabilities/qualifications will be evaluated solely for the purpose 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 open competition basis, based upon responses to this notice, is solely within the discretion 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 Clause 1852.215-84, Ombudsman, is applicable. The Center Ombudsman for this acquisition can be found at http://prod.nais.nasa.gov/pub/pub_library/Omb.html.
