- Description
- **********PLEASE CONTACT DENECE NORRIS(ARCS), ONLY, IN WRITING TO denece.a.norris@nasa.gov or FAX (256)-544-6560, WITH ANY CORRESPONDENCE REGARDING THIS ANNOUNCEMENT. CONTACT INFORMATION IS ALSO IN THE BODY OF THIS SOLICITATION************* NASA/MSFC has a requirement for the Robotic Weld Tool(RWT) ReplacementWeld Head and Compatible Spare Parts. NASA/MSFC intends to purchase these from PAR Systems, Inc. on a sole source basis. Competition is impractical for the following reasons: 1. The current weld systems found on the Robotic Weld Tool(RWT) and Parameter Development System(PDS) were designed, engineered and fabricated by PAR Systems, Inc.. 2. PAR Systems, Inc. has proprietary hardware integrated into these weld systems including the interface cables between the control systems and weld tool hardware. 3. It would be cost prohibitive to select another source to provide a replacement weld head and spare parts as the entire weld system, including the control systems would have to be re-designed and fabricated. 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 Denece A. Norris(ARCS) by email, denece.a.norris@nasas.gov or fax (256)961-9604 no later than 4:30 p.m. CST on July 08, 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(NOV 2011), Ombudsman, is applicable. The official point of contact is Jeannette S. Swearingen; however, all questions/offers shall be submitted to Denece A. Norris(ARCS) at denece.a.norris@nasa.gov, or faxed to (256)961-9604.
