- Description
- NASA/GRC has a requirement to purchase two new databases for use with our existing THERMOCALC software. We are also upgrading two of our databases we own and are in use at our Center. NASA/GRC intends to purchase these items and upgrade from THERMO-CALC SOFTWARE, INC., 4160 Washington Rd., Suite 230, McMurray PA 15317. The databases we are purchasing are written to be read only by the two programs, Thermocalc and DICTRA.The databases are not 'open' and cannot be read by other software. We have also purchased the THERMOCALC software from this same vendor. THERMO-CALC SOFTWARE owns the source code and the software is proprietary to them. No other vendor can supply the databases needed to interact with this software. The Government intends to acquire a commercial item using FAR Part 12 and the Simplified Acquisiiton Procedures set forth in FAR Part 13. The sole source is under the authority of FAR reference 13.106-1(b)1. 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 August 26, 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. 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.
