- Description
- NASA/GSFC has a requirement for sample acquisition equipment and services for deployment to and subsurface studies in Greenland. The work involves the deployment in Greenland of methane subsurface acquisition tools for a NASA funded project under the Astrobiology Science and Technology Program (ASTEP.) NASA/GSFC intends to purchase these services from Honeybee Robotics. Honeybee Robotics is the only known company with the relevant skills and experience to support this program. Honeybee Robotics was competitively selected by NASA Headquarters to be a part of this Greenland campaign for the development of drills for a comet nucleus sampling experiment and a Rock Abrasion Took (RAT) on the highly successful Mars Exploration rovers. Honeybee Robotics demonstrates the best value to the government and provides the only viable solution for completing this project within the timelines outlined within the project scope. The Government does not intend 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 June 27, 2013. 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.
