- Description
- NASA/GSFC has a requirement for the repair and/or upgrade of system noise performance to three of the existing Compact Scanning Submillimter-wave Imaging Radiometer (CoSSIR) radiometer channels: 640 GHz H-Pol, 640 GHz V-Pol & 874 GHz. NASA/GSFC intends to purchase the service from Virginia Diodes, Inc., pursuant to FAR 13. 106, for the acquisition of supplies or services determined to be reasonably available from only one known source. All three CoSSIR radiomteter receivers were originally custom manufactured by Virginia Diodes, Inc.. Virginia Diodes, Inc. will provide improvements and modifications to three existing CoSSIR radiometers, highly specialized mm-wave components. The goal of the upgrade is to improve the system noise performance of the two 640 GHz channels to 3000 K and to improve the 874 GHz channel to 6000 K. The mixers for all three channels will be replaced with modern mixer blocks and the varactor multipliers in all the radiometers will be checked and replaced as necessary. 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 29, 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.
